ok if you want hints plastered all over then next time i will keep it to myself and a couple people here i trust. i didnt even have to tell anyone but i thought it would be nice to share here. i just didnt want 2 np because lurkers saw the hints. so next time i wont do it because i dont like posting hints on a bored everyone can see. i found it so i think i have a right to decide if hints to it are sent privetly. i cant belive you guys are complaining.
yeah that's right, just don't post period. it's honestly selfish if you post that you've got it and then leave without a hint...the LC and MP aren't about how much NP you get from the payout, it's how much fun you have solving it or trying to solve it. And when we have NO chance of solving it because it's super hard, we don't enjoy it at all, and it makes it worse knowing that someone can very well help point everyone in the right direction with a simple hint and a little generosity (though it never took much in the past for people to post a hint - I think it's a pretty undisputed topic). how can you tell the difference between lurkers and non-lurkers? you very well could have PM'ed the hint to lurkers and not have known the difference...post count isn't a definate indication, because I know personally that I have a small post count but it doesn't mean I'm going to take everything here and spam it all over the neoboards. sure posting hints here may been seen by lurkers, but isn't it worth the risk? I think the countless times we've posted hints and helped YOU no matter how much you deny it deserve a little credit. so just...
think before you act next time. please.
that's my 2 cents...I can't stand to see people act this way. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but...it just seems really unfair to me the way this thread went this round.
