I'm right, you're wrong, don't argue.

And everybody else should accept your opinion as "inarguable" fact because...?

OMG, Subject, something we can agree on. ;)

For those that haven't played Thievery long enough, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Subject is correct in saying it can be ghosted, it is a LOT of fun. It is still being played today.

You get a great group of people playing, its a hell of a lot of fun. I've ghosted, I've killed, I've knocked out as well. It's a game of skill, and patience. For on line play, there is a definite learning curve.
To each his own on the game, that's fine. If you haven't played but a round or two, I don't take opinions seriously from people with little knowledge and experience of the game. Because you just do not know the game. I know, I'm a super moderator of Black Cat games, and played Thievery since the beginning, I say this because I do have knowledge of the game.

But, like I said, you don't like it, fine, go play something else. Just don't spout off at the mouth on something you have little knowledge on. I DON'T LIKE IT, WHAAA. Thats an opinion, not knowledge of the game. Ok, go play something else, instead of whining about it.

No other game gave me the adrenaline rush that Thievery did, my hands used to shake after a good game, my favorite was thieving, and ghosting, not too many women played the game, I loved being a thief, and slipping in and out of areas, it can be done.

The game doesn't have as many players as it used to, despite that, it still is being played, and continues to be tweaked. That could be part of the problem, not as many players anymore, and the high learning curve, if you can't handle it, don't let the door hit ya. ;)
The hard core experts, could run circles around noobs, and show a thing or two. Awesome to watch, and spectate.

As a matter of, check out the NEW GUARD SKINS, they don't look so much like Gladiators anymore. :P

And of course, we are waiting for NightBlade. Expected release on that, we don't know yet.

Well, when a bug breaks my play experience, I consider it pretty serious. Maybe you can tolerate such things, but when something takes me out of "Thief-Mode" like that, I can't really get past it. I didn't see this bug until after I played 1.6, and as far as I've read and seen, the official site says 1.6 is final... Unless there's something that I don't know about, like official/unofficial/community patches that aren't stated on the main page.

I wanted to like Thievery, I really did. After all, I keep downloading it thinking that there's some option I keep missing in the configuration that'll solve my "problems". Maybe I should just switch back to 1.2, if I can find it. When I played 1.2 I felt everything was fair and it was rather fun.


Because I don't care about your feelings when something is consistently breaking the game for me. If there's anything I'm right on, it's that it happened and it's repeatable as a "bug". And it's inarguable because I'm not going to debate whether or not it existed and whether or not it hurts the attempt at a Thief-like experience. An AI guard running at me out of nowhere when I've done little more than start the level is not within the bounds of Thief. I'm not breaking anyone's rights by stating I don't want to argue about it.

Edit: Ah, I see what you were commenting about--I did the big "generalization" no-no. I recant my statement that "Thievery wasn't very good, and that much is inarguable." Sorry, I had forgot I even said that.

(Although I could say it's inarguable as I wouldn't consider it useful, fun or productive to argue about whether or not a game is good.)

Why report a bug for something that won't be fixed?

TUT continues to be fixed, and tweaked.
