Worse and worse, I didn't even manage to put the whole sad story in there. And it god funny, too! But somehow I truncated it.

Ha

I saw the title of this thread, and before reading it, I was 80% expecting something like this:

I love how the OP explicitly leaves out the help they got from help channels where it tells them precisely how to use the channel. Helps if we read the help that comes up when we type 'help channels'.
By Johnny at Nov 24, 2014 9:23 AM
That's what 'truncated' means. I got plenty of help, until I managed to turn off both channels when I tried to stop listening to ooc. It was a funny story, too.

But that's a strange and hostile reply, Johnny, and sours me on the game (despite the very kind help of players). Because oddly enough, I read 'help channels' several times. I come from other games, which work differently, and didn't understand the helpfile. Hence my questions.

Enjoy your game!
