It said something to the effect of "Give it a couple of weeks, and if everything else fails ask for a hint or whatever." In other words, what you did. It was not a general attack against anybody who would dare ask for a DM spoiler, which is why I put several statements such as the above in. It was targeted at people who ask for a spoiler after making zero effort at solving the problem - Not even a hint request, just an outright spoiler. I was afraid it would be taken as a direct reference to the thread originator (I assume that was you?), but it wasn't. >maybe the right rear person had to be holding the rabbit's foot in their >left hand and a gem in the right? This game has enough weird stuff... For instance? I have not seen a single thing in the game that doesn't make sense or follow a pattern. Bard's Tale would put something like this in and not bother to tell you (except by a magic mouth three dungeons previous that you get to by moving over a certain square and then finding three separate teleporters, or something equally stupid), but not Dungeon Master. I certainly hope you find out what the problem was - there is nothing worse than figuring out the right answer, and having it not work for some reason. >So calm down. Brighid After rereading it I see that my original posting resembles ranting, but I can assure you that I was quite calm as I wrote it, and only included various effects coupled with some sarcasm to add a little drama to the posting. -Steve -- judd@tramp.colorado.edu // 'DAMN good salsa.
