No, I get it. I never really seriously thought you were calling me a thief. I reacted to it the way I did because the word pirate is nails-on-chalkboard annoying when used even in the vicinity of someone who has paid for the product. I understand what you are saying about getting a warped views of things by short circuiting the process, but I kind of hoped you'd give me the benefit of the doubt after having been here a year and creating several strategy guides. I've cranked out more games of DTD than I care to admit, and the reason I hacked those slots back in is because the process took months and to do and I have no intention of redoing it.
I'm afraid that the nature of this thread has changed from a co-operative endeavor in which the players and the developers come together as part of the creative process to an antagonistic one where the player suggestions are being perceived as a demand and therefore any changes made based on that feedback would be taken as a defeat. That's not what anyone wants. Not even Lujo Maybe even especially Lujo.
