There is an old story. Many of you will recognize it. Somehow I think TH is not familiar with it. Here is a summary of it.
There was a young boy who tended a flock of sheep. He was bored one day watching the sheep so he cired "Wolf! Wolf in the sheep pens!" The villagers heard him and came running with pitchforks and shovels to drive off the wolf. But there was no wolf. They upbraided the boy and returned to their work. Some time later, the boy was bored again. Again he cried, "Wolf! Wolf in the sheep pens!" A second time the villagers came running, only to find out it was a hoax. Again they upbraided the boy and went back to work. Finally, some time later, a wolf actually did show up in the sheep pens. So the boy again cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" but this time, when the villagers heard him, they ignored him. "He's just faking it again," they said. And so the wolf got the sheep.
This is the story we all call, "The boy who cried wolf."
TH is the boy who cried "answers". About once a month he cries, "Answers! Answers are coming." Once a month we believe him. Answers do not come. Why should we believe him now?

Why cry out? Wolves are more fun than sheep. Just let them have their way, I do.
Any wolves we know?

Well, yet another thing to point out in our feelings about falling -- while we've been requesting changes for ages now, it's now official that Critical Failures for crafters will be reduced as their skill climbs. Soooo . . . isn't that a precedent? Then again, the fact that Musicians, who are much closer to Dancers in form/function, being fellow Entertainers, -HAVE NO- critical fails should have been a precedent. *shrugs*

Anyone who still thinks Thunderheart is going to do anything he promises is deluding themselfs.

First i'll apologise if this thread has already been started but i've been away for a few weeks.
Update today, sat 20th aug, has a note saying all Droid modules are now fixed ... this right? Does that mean harvester droids etc are worth making?
Yet again, i apologise if this has been discussed already.
btw it says it on the launchpad but cant see anything in the patch forum.
