Discuss HIDDEN FUN STUFF here instead of the forum, and leave the spoilers to the people who want to be spoiled. --Jackard 21:22, 5 February 2008 (EST)

what happens to the old stuff from 2d, like the comments about when you scroll FAR too far into the back of the mountain or back towards home? --Frostedfire 08:27, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Oink sound[edit]

I just checked that easter egg out, turns out that it always plays during the intro, it's just masked by saying the "quality" word. When you hold the title bar it just pauses the program so you can hear them separately.--Richards 18:49, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I just noticed that earlier too. Odd. --GreyMaria 13:58, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

The oink sound is in the data/sound folder and it's called bayend --Vanarbulax 5:50, 7 July 1008 (EST)

Dungeons and Dragons?[edit]

With all respect to the reversion, 'electu' doesn't generate anything at all. --Squirrelloid 08:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Certainly does for me. d40. jobs, manager, queue new order, "electu". --Albedo 14:52, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
