I find it unfair that you were all eager to solve Mithalwen's round, but not mine. Is it because I solved it instead of you?!

Is it alive? No

... I was asleep. And you are the only person who saw it as some kind of contest to get the answer.

I'll let someone else ask the next question; don't want to monopolise the thread.

Yes, I do not respond immediately to posts made at 5 in the morning local time just to spite you. We're all doing it. It's a conspiracy. See, even Mith is holding a grudge that you solved her puzzle rather than Hui.

You gotta realize that games are played for fun, voluntarily. Don't make demands of people when it comes to that, or the game stops being fun and people stop playing.


Object?

If you don't wanna post, then don't log in? What's even the point of logging in if you're unable to do anything? The only plausible conclusion is that you are doing it on purpose. There are other people like me, people who get excited when someone else gets online, only to be disappointed when that person does nothing. You understand?


In fact, I will stop answering questions altogether and when you bug me about it, I will ignore you, and see how YOU would like that, how about it?!

From the way you're talking, it seems like you're unaware that most modern browsers will keep you logged in automatically. So what you are saying comes over as people either need to add several extra steps to their visits to the Downs, or not visit the Downs at all unless they intend to engage with you. Which, I'm sure you understand, is unreasonable.

Oh, when you grow as bored as I am now, you'd be singing a different tune, you will. ^^

Actually - I don't think I'd care very much. You don't want to play unless everyone else is standing on their heads around you - don't play. I'm not gonna stand on my head to keep appeasing your desire for immediate responses.

As for why a person may be seen as logged in and not post, as usual the only explanation you see is the one you are fixated on. I don't have to explain myself to you. If you wanna think it's all about you, sure. Go ahead. Don't bother considering other explanations. I don't have to explain my life to you because, if you haven't realized yet, participation in games is completely voluntary, and you only have an obligation to post regularly if you have the game now. So have a think if you get bored ignoring me.

I want the threads to be active. What's even the point of reviving them if you have no intention of keeping them active?
