Re: Help me please! :-D

In Response To: Help me please! :-D (MereCatfish)

: OK. Please help me out here. After typing in .fortune, what do you do from
: there?

That's it. You should get a cute little saying at the top of the screen.

It's an egg. It's something cute they added. there's nothing more to it than that.

And to everyone wondering if the actual sayings point to information in the game...

.fortune files trace all the way back to the beginnings of unix; every time you logged into a BSD account, you'd get another cute little saying, and the program that handled this was 'fortune'. The sayings themselves are not relevant to your gameplay, except in a general sense.

It's an egg, folks, not the second coming of Christ.
