Probably something to chalk up to the Curse of Knowledge. I mean, I've been keeping one eye open for the last couple of weeks, and haven't found much other than Blaat's comment about not being able to be bribed, which can be taken a lot of different ways.

Be amazing if that was ever brought back permanently - the RP implementation to that would be amazing. Ooo - especially if you could use money you gained to 'buy' power in regions when R/D. There ya go, RP and Gameplay friendly.

Yes, "but that would be too easy"... as in both this thread being the joke and the Zombie pranks

*Grabs a conveniently placed spare TARDIS and time travels into the future to peek at the joke*

I "know" now (or do I?) but I'm not telling... That's probably what the mods are up to...
