Edit: I'm in favor of dck and duvessa, too. They're some of the best Crawl players there are and their advice is always solid.

edit: also amusingly you never asked the first group of counsellors, you just gave them a blue name
I probably would've turned it down if it were offered (I hate the idea of special users like counsellor status), but I was too lazy to bring this up until now

we always pay attention to the speaker
and there are good reasons for that.
The problem, otherwise, is that a newcomer can't tell between people who are full of good advice and those who are full of... other stuff.

Still, no matter how I felt about it, I should not have gotten irritated and been insulting, because I can't know if you were offering those posts knowing that they were manipulative and incomplete or not.
This is exactly what I mean when I say that I don't think you're arguing in good faith.

That's uncool for someone who, in a sense, represents the crawl "management" to the average poster on this board.

This is false but who am I for you to trust.
