    Default who's idea was this?!!

    I'm loading the new romani campaign for EB 1.1, and I look at the loading screen and I see this:

    "did you remember to activate the show me how script..blahblahblah"

    why did you guys put it there, that was scary, made me feel like I was being watched...

    If people would actually read the FAQ, use the search function, or pay attention to things in the game before coming on the forum and posting a thread about reforms every two days it wouldn't be necessary.

    And I think it was either Bovi or Blacksnail who put it in, but I could be wrong.

    Me. It was necessary. And why you would get paranoid over it... I assume you're joking.

    Also, as it was a surprise to you, obviously you didn't read the release notes either. Which makes it even more necessary.

    Touché.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    actually, it was a joke, and I did read the release(so no it wasn't a surprise); I just found loading screen funny, in that it reinforcesd the image of the "all-knowing" EB team (which is a good thing don't worry). now I figured that it would come, but not so quickly or so often(bear in mind I almost always activate it). and they way it was phrased was incredibally amusing too..I even took a picture..after getting myself off the floor laughing.. (ironically first time was when loading a battle scene)
    anyways, nice idea that loading screen was...

    It annoyed me a tad so I removed it.

    Maybe for 1.2 we can have "There is no Lorica Segmentata in EB because its out of the time period" & other gems from the FAQ?
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    Wow, I didn't notice this yet... Well, I guess there are enough people out there who either are too bored to activate the script or bother reading the FAQ, or just can't understand the importance...

    There are apparently scores of people who have the endurance to swat away the advisor a gazillion times without ever listening to what he says. And indeed we have had plenty of people asking if it's really necessary to use the script.

    Actually, my first trip to the forums was to find out how to turn that annoying guy off "Dammit, I said NO ADVICE!"

    Quick read on the forum and "You silly git, that IS the new game"

    At least I didn't post asking about it

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    I just hope you guys read the description for Magnesia when it is completed because if people start asking stupid questions I'm going to get mad, which means I'm going to demand apologies; apologies yakuza-style.

    As it stands, you people only have so many joints on so many fingers.
