Title: Help Throw
Post by: spawnloser on December 01, 2009, 02:44:16 PM
Okay, you know how helpfiles have a 'see also:' at the bottom, right?  This is to guide you to helpfiles about things that are somewhat related.  Help throw, however?  "See also:  Throw" is all you get.  First off, shouldn't there be other helpfiles referenced?  Isn't it a bit silly to have the helpfile you just read be recommended other reading?

Probably an oversight.  Typo/idea request?

Actually we did that on purpose to test the diligence of our players. Spawnloser passes the 'noticing' it test, but the test was two-phased and he failed the 'dealing with it appropriately in a way that is likely to see any sort of result whatsoever' part.

Oh... my... can't... stop... laughing.

Olgaris, what clans do you run?  I must play under someone with your jocular skills!

He runs Servants of the Dragon I think. He's also its only clan member.

It's a little-known fact that the Dragon was originally implemented as an Olgaris Mary Sue.

I would love it if helpfiles pointed you in the right direction.

As in
'help sling'
There is no sling topic. Please try:
Archery Throw Etc

...what? Am I missing something here?
Why are there 5 posts talking about Olgaris in a thread about helpfiles?

Because errors or oversights in the helpfiles are Olgaris' fault.

Just like climate change.

Maybe the throw helpfile should have included - see also: archery, knifemaking?

edit: Olgaris - For those who are wondering, what would be the appropriate way to handle this with likeliness to see a result? The idea command? Perhaps emailing staff? Personally, I think spawnloser addressed this one very well.

infinite loop: see loop, infinite

loop, infinite: see infinite loop


There's an idea command in-game and an idea category of the request tool. Though I'd agree that this is more of a typo.

Luckily there's also a typo category.

Idea, typo, or web site request in the tool.

I'm a horrible hypocrite and I am sorry.
