COMPLETE Overview of Arcanum Spells

He could have started a new topic and link to it, but that would have been too far-fetched, I suppose... Okay, so it was an useful dig. But next time make a new thread, or something like that.

 

I am curious about what she meant.... I have messed around with them and no clue what the nasty combo is....

Someone care to fill me in?

 

I'm curious about this as well. Anyone know what she was talking about?

 

I was wondering about that myself when I read the thread some time ago.

It was nice seeing ya, by the way.

 

Pretty ballsy to gravedig a >7 year-old thread that itself is somewhat concerned with gravedigging.

 

Also, I'm a-guessing the nasty combo is (1) Dominate Will (2) teleport somewhere, and (3) lock them in a room. Gosh, scary stuff.

 

I like how even though the FAQ says "READ OR DIE" no one ever reads it, and hardly anyone ever will.

 

He's absolutely right. Of course, everyone who does read it dies too; so...

 

Imo, the Fa-Q Read or die sticky has the net effect of lowering the standards of behaviour.

Call me autistic, but phrasing the rules of ettiquette in such an abusive tone seems self-defeating.

 

You're autistic (and seemingly drunk).

 

Thankyou sir... and yes.

 

I have to admit, when I saw the read or die, my inner asshole got offended and insisted I stubbornly refuse to read it for no other reason then to be contrary.

 

If I'd read the FAQ before, I'd forgotten its content. Having just now (re)read it, I find that it is not as offensive as I expected. It is executed in true The House of Lords form, but it isn't over the top.

The "Read or Die" suffix is simply as cheeky as the "THIS IS WHERE YOU ASK FOR HELP, NIMRODS" tag in the Arcanum Hints & Tips section -- wholly gratuitious but at least marginally amusing.

 

I can remember a few years back in my lurking days I read the FAQ and thought it was quite abbrasive. At the same time some people were going completely psycho - and I mean really really over the top - at a newbie for gravedigging some threads. I have to tell you my inner asshole was sorely tempted to make an account then and post in the twenty oldest threads "Ha, I gravedug" just to see peoples' completely irrational over-blown responses at the offense.
