[edit] Hellfire

Hey I worked on the Hellfire game at Synergistic Studios. You can't use my name, but I can of course tell you anything you want to know about the project. So what's with the citations? --207.171.180.101 (Talk), 21:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Citations means that sources must be added, sources that can be verified. I'm not saying you are lying, but without documents (for instance a published work or website) it cannot be verified. Wikipedia wants verification to 'prove' things, otherwise everyone can write down what they think. So to back up the claims, you'd have to cite some documents (on a website for example) that confirm that. Look at this page to get more info: Wikipedia:Citing sources --Fogeltje 22:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

so show me the web citations for the cow quest... there aren't any. There can't be any. It's a "secret" level. Yet everyone knows its there. And in fact the text in wikipedia which I put there shows how to access it. If only web provable "facts" were in wikipedia you'd never be able to say that the CIA helped overthrow the elected leader of Chile. Yet they did. How about the CIA and the plots to kill Castro? The cigars?

But on this game, Hellfire. why is Bob Clardy now working for himself? The owner of a game studio? It's because that game got him canned. He and Ken Williams were and still are good friends. But Ken's out of Sierra to run his own stuff. Although the last venture failed.

did you know that the way the Blizzard North folks tried to keep people from hacking the game was to use random(seed) with a fixed seed, to generate the things you find in the game? And that's why it occasionally hacks up things that are diffrent if you save the game. 'cause if there is a code path, and there are a few, that don't regenerate the right number of calls to the random number generator it picks a differnt thing to generate. nice bit of hackery eh?

Besides if you look at the time line for when Synergistic ceased to Exist and that Blizzard North didn't. They quit and moved to Redmond after Vivindi ruined Sierra. It doesn't need a citation. The timeline fits perfectly.

Let the Blizzard North guys remove it if they feel its in error. --207.171.180.101 (Talk), 04:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lager

I do apologize. This is what happens you have too many tabs and edit wikipedia for too many hours - I was thinking the yellow was your addition and the green the removal. Once again, my apologies. --Ozgod 07:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
