Ah man, I was hoping we could at least get to page 100. Maybe the last post would have been a link to the new thread.

Hooray, page 1 :)

The only bad thing about starting from the beginning of a pointless thread is that you want to talk about some of the stuff you see but it's extremely old and people will have no idea what you are talking about :(

Tha reminds me of the time I wanted to buy three smoke detectors at B&Q, and had to go through the till three times to buy one at a time.  The computer was set to charge as follows:
1 - £3.99
2 - £7.99
3 - £12.99 [sic]
And the cashier couldn't be persuaded (or had no means) to charge for them individually.

I know. I was just wondering what (if anything) you did about it.

Also now I'm realising I apparently can't read, since you said right there in your original post.

100page thread bork the board.

Not really; but longer threads have a progressively greater impact on the usage of resources in the server under some circumstances; many boards operate a tighter limit on size than I do here.

Whoever mentioned that Candy Box game on the other thread, I hate you. It's incredibly addicting somehow.. I have a level 20 flaming sword now.. so there.

The cauldron and potion making is hard to figure out.. I follow the instructions but they aren't clear "Mix until your arms hurt".. how long is that in seconds? That's all it gives me :(

I've read of different ways to kill the Dragon but my strategy is just to keep this going in the background at work and save at intervals and upgrade my sword to the max and then hopefully kill it before my potions run out :D

Either that or just keep eating candy till I have 2-3 times more health then the Dragon...

It's ok. Capslockalitis is a disease they haveno control over it and excuses to cover it up only hide the reality of what people have to live with every day.

you've just gotta make sure that your cure for capslockalitis doesn't lead to a rampant case of nocapsepsis, or as it's better known: roast beef syndrome.
