geuss that rules me out then :P ::)
Well, like I said, if you make two versions, then we'll consider the non-spoiler one at least. :P

I doubt MS Word supports them. ;P

But seriously, we'll most likely create a new forum specifically for Hints once the game is out.  The obvious rule there would be any spoiler tag misuse would result in the post getting deleted. :P

[spoiler]For example using it like this, when there's no need other than it looking cool. XD[/spoiler]

Or we could just add :suffer: to every line and call it Yonkey's Walkthrough :P

Well I was hoping for a walkthrough like this:
Green Ilse
Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):
Talk to Stick in Mud
Give Stick in Mud Mint(2)
Talk to Vines
Get Wall Shadow behind Vines(3)

As I said, people won't be able to add Spoiler tags to a Word document. :P  If they post spoilers in the forum, then sure, but a whole walkthrough posted in the forum with one tag, or even hundreds of tags is just not feasible, and will end up getting deleted. 8)

A walkthrough like that would look like and probably be used the same way as a UHS file... but not.  Why not use the spoiler tag idea?  ???  With a normal walkthrough, you'd most likely have to skim it and maybe accidentally read a huge spoiler and ruin the game.

I have an idea.  :idea:  Why not have a walkthrough that tells the directions to solve puzzles, etc, in normal text, and have significant spoilers in spoiler tags?  This should please everyone looking for a hint or spoiler.

But what if you really want to solve a puzzle on your own?

Well because:
[spoiler]It can be annoying.[/spoiler]

Why?
[spoiler]Because every line would have its own tag, like this.[/spoiler]

Why is this a bad thing?
[spoiler]You can see how difficult it is moving your mouse just to read this.  And how tempting it is to just read all of them. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Can you imagine several hundreds of pages like this?  Or the whole walkthrough itself would be in one massive block.  It wouldn't make any sense either, because someone could just as easily create it on their own and upload it somewhere.[/spoiler]


I would consider the above to be massive spoiler abuse.  The tag should only be used for a max of 2 or 3 times per post.

I mean HUGE, game-ending type spoilers.  NOT for every little hint or tip.

Considering the spoiler tags "push" the rest of the page down when opened, large texts would leave anyone lost in the middle of the page after closing the spoiler :P

yet another reason to limit its use ;P

Just have an entire section of the forum set aside for hints. ;P Have a big sticky warning there.

Only stuff that reveals major plot points should be spoilerized in that case.

I thought I already said that. ::)

In any case, this thread is about Walkthroughs not Hints. :P

No walkthroughs are allowed to be pasted into a forum post, if that's what you mean. :P  The urls to them are of course allowed though. XD
