> a: if you hadn't guessed these notes were written in anger

You may notice that writing angry posts is a good way to get flamed for making mistakes.

> b: i wasn't aware that changes to cf were publicised here rather than in the actual game.

They're not. But sometimes it comes up in discussion. Unless you consider "urns" Super-Secret-Quest-Information, it's fair game for discussion here.

> c: extremely literal room descriptions are a pain in the ass, if there is more than one urn (ie urns) why the fuck can't i look in just one (ie urn)

Then you learned something very valuable- ALL of Thera is like that. A lot of very useful items are hidden in room descriptions, and learning to scrounge them out from the text is a good skill.

> d: i also made a perfectly (if emotive) legitimate statement

So did your critics. By the way, when you post things like "damn you look stupid mr umguy. self righteous fucks", you've given up on getting sympathy from the crowd.

> e: when you are running around trying to find your equipment which is 99.9999% of the time to be found in PIT ..seen..as room item and you have already checked the urn only to be told that the damned thing isn't there you run around trying to find your freaking equipment before some dickhead duergar warrior robs you and you can't find no stinking pit and your connection is laggy as hell and you keep losing link

> if he wants to make urns then put them in the items list like everywhere else..it's not as if he's put a description in for 95% of the other items in the area...

I'm pretty sure I found the mystic urns in several seconds, after realizing "Hey, this Temple has no pit!", and looking. Brief mode should be off when you are in a new area.

> and yes it is a great new addition to the CF list of areas, but screwing people over when it matters is lame and again, these posts were written in utter bloody frustration

Nobody was screwing you over. Well, maybe the duergar. By the way, don't mention names if you're going to disparage people. Had your post not already triggered a discussion, it would have been gone by now.
