I really hope this is true. Implementing shadow traps was the stupidest change to crawl in the last couple of years.

Re: [POSSIBLE APRIL FOOLS TOPIC] pf got rid of shadow traps
I agree that I don't find shadow traps fun, but I wouldn't be able to tell you why they aren't fun before seeing them in action. A mistake, but not a dumb mistake. 20.20 hindsight and all that.
I was surprised I couldn't identify the April 1 changes playing one character through D1.

Is April in Trunk or 0.16? I played Trunk last night and didn't notice anything.

If this is an April Fool's joke it is the most cruel crawl-related one that I can conceive of.

I know... I feel like the rug is going to get pulled out from under me. Damn april fools day
I don't agree shadow traps were a bad idea, I just think it's one of those things that sounded better on paper. I hate shadow traps in the game, because getting the equivalent of god wrath at any time while exploring seems unfair, even by crawl standards.

April fools!
If you are offended by something I've posted, just PM me. It probably wasn't intentional.

Re: [POSSIBLE APRIL FOOLS TOPIC] pf got rid of shadow traps
I think shadow traps could be better if they spawned at edge of LOS when you step on the trap, instead of on top of you. That way you'd have more of a chance to get away or find an entrenched position.

Re: [POSSIBLE APRIL FOOLS TOPIC] pf got rid of shadow traps
There was a language update once that gave all game messages in an accent- maybe Scottish? And maybe pig latin was available?
Jesters were a background one year- They worshipped Nemelex, were under wrath from Xom, and were equipped with pies, which could be thrown to blind enemies.
Were there quadruple swords one year?
Playing on Christmas day is also entertaining, as reindeer replace Yaks and elves are busy making toys in the north pole workshop.
