Edit: Also--

Yay for palindromic clicktotals.

Huh?

So, if the amount of code in TCB raises with each click, won't that raise the total status of TCB?

Clicking the bar does help The City Beneath development, but maybe not in the way you think. As the message you got says, each click adds a line to DROD:TCB. However, this is not DROD: The City Beneath! The message actually talks about DROD: The Code Bucket (In The Sky), where buggy and discarded code goes to die. Clicking the bar sends lines of code directly into the Bucket, we don't have to spend time debugging it. So, Caravel still have to make TCB manually, ie TCB won't be finished any faster no matter how much you click, but it might have gone slower if people didn't click the bar.

Somehow, I have the feeling someone will swap the two TCBs around at one point or another, and all the "real" code will wound up in /dev/null.

I suggest to implement endless loops to speed up the development of the game.

By the way, are we getting mod points for each goodie we get?

Yeah, it seems as though someone gives out one mod point for each post saying! "I have X goodies!!! WOOT!!"

I feel like my request got lost on the bottom of page 28...if someone could point me to the page with what they feel is the most valuable hint, or PM me clues, I'd muchly appreciate it.

Thanks Znirk. I had the right idea, just the wrong final arrangement.

And something interesting did, in fact, happen.

You bend the bar's arm behind its back and take 8 Mod Points and 8 Rank Points from it.

Question: What's the difference between mod points and rank points?

Rank points show up over on the left there, and go up or down when other people click on the Good or Bad links above your posts.

Mod points only show up in your profile. You get mod points when people rank you up, and spend them when you rank other people.

Wewt. I got a checkpoint. So all I'm missing is an orb, and a... well... hm, I can't remember what the tenth thing is off the top of my head. Probably a goblin. Because I don't have one of those.

...is it a problem that I've got eight goodies already and still have no *clue* about the riddle's solutoin at all?

It's funny how goodies are much more likely to appear with your first click of the day.

I'm up to three of them, anyhow. I'm almost halfway there! Okay, so thirdway there didn't sound that great.
