> > again VIP's are not VIP's because they know anything about the game... > Actually, I am fairly certain Dioxide would not VIP someone who didn't know anything about CF. It's tough to be helpful when you can't find the Kobold Warrens. who says the vips help anyone anyway? as far as i've seen the vips police the forum and give as much help as anyone else. > > ie Challen isn't a VIP, the imm's aren't VIP's and you've shown yourself to be talking out of your ass on more than one occassion (as has Mr Blade). > First... huh? Let me spell it, for game information i would look at more info coming from the imms or him before i looked to any vip (other than dev) yet challen isn't a vip (tho i doubt he'd want to be) so it's not about game knowledge, a certain ability to tie one's own shoes and dress themselves is of course required. > Second... fortunately, we have you to turn to for infallible information, I guess. The rest of us put our best guesses up, and try to estimate our own uncertainty until Nepenthe taunts(*) us about it. I have never claimed that everything I write here is 100% true. But I can claim that it is 100% true to my knowledge, unless I'm being sarcastic. (See above.) Do i have a VIP flag? Do i attempt to claim that i am a font of CF knowledge (though i would claim to have a large dose just not well spread) so don't claim VIPs are wonders at CF
