...and he didn't. Or didn't soon enough for me, which obviously means he isn't going to. So, this is on his head.

Dear particular members of the GoW (you know who you are),

First of all, let's establish a principle here:

Taking something that does not belong to you is stealing.

Okay? With me ...

Everyone here will no doubt be pleased (or completely indifferent) to know that after the latest outbreak of fannish entitlement and aggrieved arrogance on the MOUL forums, I have reached the end of my tether. There is much talent here, and very clever and beautiful things are being done, but they ...

What Calam said.

In the end, it's down to whether you choose to believe that Cyan is benevolent or malevolent in this context. If benevolent, then there is some reason beyond their control why they must continue to restrict discussion of tinkering (to use a non-inflammatory word) with Uru:CC. If ...

Your Ages are great (Maw is fiendish!) and there are indeed many ways to do it. I described the one that appeals to me most.

Cross-posted from the MOUL forums, because I came up with it off the top of my head and I think it works as a general answer to the general question. YMMV, but this is my view.

No...er...whatever the subaqueous equivalent of a biscuit is." Blaming the whole for the actions of the ...

We are not here to be sarcastic, facetious, or try to trick anyone.

So there's a vacancy for a Guild of Sarcastic Tricksters?

Since I don't have the ability to do either of the two things BAD mentions (mod Uru or make Ages), I guess I'm not in his we. Whether JWPlatt has a point or not is up to ...

Thank you, Trylon and diafero. I was not being sarcastic. When I am, it tends to be obvious. (EDIT: and thanks, Simone, for understanding.)

diafero, I take all your points, but I still think there's a misconception here. If people had not done the hacks, Cyan...would simply have moved on. Uru was a ...

When did I call you dirty or horrible? When did I call you anything but nice, decent people with brilliant skills?

Read my posts, and not whatever foul invective you make up in your own fevered mind, before you respond to me again, please. Or permaban me, if Hoikas likes. I don't think I'm much ...
