Are you suggesting that whenever I engage in a conversation about Thief 2 I'm supposed to note that I play a modified version, regardless of whether or not it's relevant?
"Do you like Thief 2?"
"Oh yeah, it's great. I love the atmosphere and the sneaking and the voices. I think it's better than Thief 1 and Thief 3, etc, etc... Oh and a disclaimer, I cheat by giving myself lots of water arrows in the last mission."
That seems entirely insignificant and irrelevant to the discussion. Why would I need to mention that? Now if I were to say, "I love Soulforge because it's a robot disabling fest" then it would probably warrant mentioning the fact that I have lots of water arrows but conversations rarely get that specific.
:(
Be honest, not ridiculous and defensive.
Clearly you know that there are levels of discussion that don't need the qualifier. You lose honest bragging rights if the cheat is what allowed you to do something and you don't say so.

I understand your point but I'm not understanding the reason why you're making it. Have I or anyone else said or done anything in this thread that was not honest or an attempt at unjustified bragging? Or are you offering a friendly reminder to avoid doing so in the future? Your point seemed to be pretty strict about calling out mods no matter what and I've been trying to get you to draw a line for me (such as with my specific examples about other patches or mods we all may be using).

I made a simple point earlier in response to what was happening earlier. Such a little thing. It's been a slow spiral down the toilet since, and each post since has been about something more and more off-point. All you have to do is stop leading away from the original thought like there's something bigger going on at all. What I said in the previous post is correcting a mistake in your post before that, and my post before that was correcting another mistake in your perception before that... Correcting your perception of what's being said post after post stops right now.:tsktsk:

So start a new thread and if you join one ongoing try to stay on topic. It's called courtesy and social consciousness. :p
