Nevermind.<
A recent InfoWorld had an article extolling laziness
(they'll want to do it right the first time, and code
things that make their lives easier) and arrogance
(they'll want to code things that will make people
envious of them) etc. etc. maybe laziness isn't so
bad?
I understand that those that had a cracked version of
Black and White had slightly better stability. Bought
a copy, seemed betaware, never played.
>The Dungeon kept 3 hidden stats. Your alignment,
your jerk rating (aka the bozo byte), and guild stat.
Getting your guild mad at you by changing guilds or
your alignment would get assassins or champion
encounters. Being a bozo by killing any of the 3
healers, picking on paupers, or being a general
cheapskate would also get assassins.<
Interesting... I had wondered about that whole
guild/assassin thing. You'd also get assassins by
doing the troll/gnome quest, right? And that card that
gives you a new beginning with your old guilds would
reset this stat, I guess?
So what did this Jerk stat do?
