Thieves & cage traps

Not sure that Goblin (master) thieves /can/ evade traps. I've caught a bucketful in cage traps. Didn't know what to do with them, mind... Runspotrun 09:23, 13 November 2007 (EST)

I've noticed that when i melt down Narrow Steel Equipment, all i get is Copper! can someone verify this as a bug or intentional? -- Bullion

I would think that that would be a bug. Mindsnap 18:42, 3 December 2007 (EST)


Does adding [CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER] actually semi-fix sieges? I thought that it didn't. Mindsnap 18:42, 3 December 2007 (EST)

Snatchers / pedophiles

Why not just leave it as pedophiles "snatchers"? I think it's funny. --Peristarkawan 13:55, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Why not deal with it as "civilized" people? I mean have some sort of a voting with an argumented discussion on the talk page before a wiki admin say his final word. Those who reverted the change were at least stating something in the summary field. I myself don't think that this bit of humor is appropriate to this article and the user who did it again and again seems to be a vandal for me.--Another 15:12, 12 December 2007 (EST)
Whatever you do or say, pedophiles are no laughing matter. What's wrong with you Peristarkawan? >:( --Eagle of Fire 15:28, 12 December 2007 (EST)
There are about 30 episodes of Family Guy that would beg to differ. However this turns out, please stop the edit war. --Peristarkawan 15:51, 12 December 2007 (EST)
I'm very confident that if it continue, it will result in the ban of Billdauterive. --Eagle of Fire 15:54, 12 December 2007 (EST)
I support the word "snatcher" over "pedophile", for three reasons. First, it's more likely to be immediately understood by all wiki readers.

I wasn't suggesting removing the word "snatcher" at all. You've got to agree that it seems a bit peculiar that the snatchers only target children. Why is it that murderous carp are funny but pedophile goblins are sick? Seems like a double standard to me. --Peristarkawan 16:27, 12 December 2007 (EST)
