There goes mean, mean Jedi Learner again.

Love the picture, though.

I'm not sure whether I can trust or believe, this, so I'm not sure if I should try it...

You know, if there was an inn on that island, I'd totally just hang out there.

Now, your next mission is to figure out which secret grid-square gets you transported into the hidden "Beer" area of that one map!!

Aah - it was March 31 for me. Makes sense now.

Also helps to know that Jedi Learner don't need no stinking holiday to play practical jokes with the map editor.

Sorry.

Would it make you feel better to know that I loaded a game up and ran there to try it before posting?

I tried it too because BW mentioned that he was going to use something similar to access another chest.

I promise that Book III will have several super-secret bonus areas.

Can I admit something, then?

I like that kind of thing, but I like it a lot better if there are some kind of hints put around (e.g. something a character says, a 'torn' page/letter with an obscure reference to something that can be found in a drawer or chest somewhere, etc.) to "guide" players to finding those "super-secret bonus areas".

I probably wouldn't enjoy Jedi_L's hypothetical gag here, because having Item X in your inventory while on Grid-Square Y unexpectedly transporting you to secret area Z is significantly less satisfying than putting half-a-dozen clues together to figure out that you need to have Item X in your inventory while on Grid-Square Y so that you can then transport yourself to secret area Z.

Just (another!) $0.02 from me!

Totally agree. I wouldn't put completely obscure secrets in the game that have no chance of anyone discovering them.

...except for maybe one. One absolutely impossible secret that only I know of, which I would reveal on the one-year anniversary of Book III's release.

And I'm definitely cool with that!

However, I'm pretty confident that the super-fans around here would discover your "absolutely impossible secret that only [you] know of" within two months of Book III's release, and "spoil" your surprise...

That sounds like a challenge!

What will happen is Jedi Learner will post some and BW will put them in later versions to confuse the issue.
