1000 clues that you have been playing thief way to much ...

Argh! The right numbers are 2286 and 2287. Could you all please edit your posts to use the correct numbers (see my last post)?

2288

You are up to 4 hard drives of 80 gig each, none of which has any room left because you have copied every image of the stacks of crates and potions that Luthien has made.

2289

Your cat is furless because you were trying to make firearrows in the garage workshop. And needed a test subject.

2290 - After throwing a water balloon in a friend's face and seeing their angry reaction, you mutter "That's funny, they usually don't notice..."

You go to see "The Two Towers", and (even if you've grown up reading the books forever before the movie, as I have) the following happens to you:

#2291
You watch the Treebread segment and you can't help but be reminded of your own Ent encounteres in Thief II.

#2292
You can't help envying Merry and Pippin's being able to encounter a friendly Ent while you were clobbered to death by them.

#2293
You jokingly snort to yourself, "Some taffers have ALL the luck."

#2294
You then jokingly think to yourself, "Maybe it's that apparent 'stench' the guards seem to think Garrett has that they've always remarking on?"

#2295
You then think about how cool it might be if either Thief III or a future FM had helpful Ents in them as opposed to vicious ones for a change.

#2296
You then briefly toy with the possibility of such a mission's allowing you to "ride" a friendly Ent for whatever reason in the same manner the hobbits are.

#2297
You then think about the friendly Ent ruthlessly SQUASHING guards, zombies and such underfoot while you're riding it! (Sounds like fun, really. ;) )

#2298
You then briefly savour the particularly tasty, vengeful image of the friendly Ent stepping on the EVIL Ents that tormented you in the first place!

2299) Whenever you go into a dark room, you try to adjust the gamma instead of turning on the lights.

2300) you get mad at yourself for being so stupid, because you thought that you had the 3000th post

2301) You don't take your rage out on people, but on burricks and zombies in Thief, but not humans in Thief so not to end you non-killing streak.

Actually, that would be the 2300th clue. Read The Cloaked Wolf's post again.

G23,

Technically, I'm not in Cleveland either since I'm in the 'burbs too (South Euclid, to be exact). I have some friends who live in your city, though and am frequently on the West side. Small world(wide web), huh? :D

HOLY CRAP! :eek: . I didn't know you guys would even get to 1000! That's dedication right there :thumb: .

#2302 - Trying to, and actually succeeding in getting into the Cathedral your first visit (The Haunted Cathedral)..

#2303 - And then wondering why you have to go through all the trouble getting the talismans to go in through the front door. I guess Constantine really didn't think much of me after all, master thief and long-time 'mind over matter' practitioner that I am ;)

(Read "Has anyone visited THC Cathedral been visited?" .. I know, I want some recognition, but hey, I can't help it! :joke:)

Back to the top!

#2304 If you know from personal experience that Craymen aren't drownable. (The one in THC, underground pool, near the burrick cave kept falling in!)

#2305 If you've written a parody of T:TDP (pointing at LoneCoyote + Golden Skull - (http://ttlg.gmxhome.de/klepto/) Kleptomaniac - The Not-So-Bright Project)

#2306 If you've ever been sneaking around your own pitch-black house... and run into something.
