I used the first key. Thanks I played the game a little bit this morning before activating it and I totally loved it! I'm going to play some more now!

Also for your trivia question, I personally don't see why a person cannot have a change of mind in real-time. But more than likely the change occurs not because of any new facts being presented, but because there has been a change of heart (compassion and understanding, life-giving and complex) in that person. And if such change does occur, it would not be possible for another person (outside of self) to know at the instant moment it happens. In fact, I would argue that even the person itself may not realize such change has occurred until later.

I hope it makes sense.

Ooh, I like that reply, I'm glad you got a key and are enjoying it. +1 to the change of heart before change of mind thing. Def don't get anywhere being all sanctimonious with people, that's for sure, turns their hearts cold before their brain has a chance to warm to an idea. And I know all about being overly sanctimonious on here LOOOOOL.

Thanks for the help with the email settings on BN my dude. Still I don't like making my personal email publicly available, especially on here.

Your e-mail address WILL NOT be revealed to people e-mailing (more like messaging thru an email third party) since e-mails are sent via the web interface.

If I was to message you through the BluesNews web interface you would receive an email from:
Blue's News Forum • noreply@bluesnews.com
Consisting of my message
and a link to reply or report spam/harassment etc.
Neither one of us will ever see the other's email address unless we decide to exchange them.

Oh shit! that's amazing! I obviously was quite ignorant of this feature, I'll turn it on right now. Not that I'm a terribly sociable type... if it's not pissing in the wind in a BN thread, I mostly keep to meself.

I hope I didn't wait too long to post them codes, oh well, someone will grab em.

Thanks for the help with the email settings on BN my dude. Still I don't like making my personal email publicly available, especially on here. I'm not exactly a man who shies away from making enemies And I think I'm justified to be afraid of what angry gamers will do to people they don't like.

I really should get a throwaway email account just for stuff like this, but in general twitch whispers serve the same function. Lets me have a private convo without having to add anyone to anything, or give away any personal details, assuming they have a twitch account, which I'm guessing most people do.

You got the manhole answer correct.
I was looking for "they can't fall through the hole." Since you additionally added they role you scored 150%

As for the answer to your trivia question, it's NO.

If a person arrives at a destination despite readily available evidence to the contrary (ie your; "orgy of evidence") already freely available to them, there ain't shit you can do about it.

TLDR
They're broken.

Fuck I totally flaked, I'll just post em here. Sorry guys, I was gonna ask people to whisper me on my twitch (SirParcival) profile, as I don't think we can do DM's here... But screw it.

PS if anyone grabs a key it'd be nice if they said they grabbed one and which one they grabbed.


The site doesn't do dm's but it has an email function if you enable it:
User Admin - Main Menu
under Modify User Details

Show E-mail address:
Yes
No
Set to 'No' to completely prevent your e-mail address from being seen except on areas where an e-mail address is mandatory.

Allow email replies:
Yes
No
Set to 'Yes' to allow people to e-mail replies to you. Your e-mail address WILL NOT be revealed to people e-mailing since e-mails are sent via the web interface.

Also, Manholes are round for 2 reasons:

1) they can roll easily because they're heavy as balls
2) no matter the orientation, the manhole cover can never fall through the manhole.

Also, my trivia question is: "Is it still possible in this day and age for people to have their minds changed in real-time?" more of a philosophical one... but one that I don't know the answer to. The "real time" part is crucial. Like can people say something, then be presented with an orgy of evidence which totally destroys their position, and they change their mind right on the spot. Does that happen? Have any of you witnessed this in the last 5 years?

Hmm I'll have to figure out a way to give em out, only have 2 of em. Be home later tonight and will figure something out. I'm thinking trivia contest

First Question
Why are manhole covers round?

no cheating
and like jdreyer I don't need a key

I don't need one. Sounds like one of the other folks would appreciate it more.

No need for such troubles.. Take it easy on yourself and give it to the first 2!

Create a trivia contest where I win a key.

Actually trivia would be easy to cheat online. Why not just do, pick a number between 1-100 or what have you and two closest people get them.

A key would be too sweet if there's any left!

I have a couple full game keys for this title if anyone is interested, got em from testing some Ubisoft stuff last year and never had a chance to give em out yet.

That's very kind of you.

ll take one if one is still available, please and thank you.

I'll take a key if it's available. It seems like a good game.
