		+	== Forgotten password ==
		+
		+	Hi bcode,
		+	the Forgot Password feature on this site is doing strange things.
		+
		+	1. I forgot my password
		+	2. I had it reset and a new password sent to me.
		+	3. New password didn't work
		+	4. Tried it on multiple browsers on multiple devices to no avail.
		+	5. Repeated steps 2-4.
		+
		+	Weeks later...
		+	6. I found I was still logged in on one device.
		+	7. Went to profile used my old password (which I found) to reset password (which should not have worked because it had already been reset, right?!). I set the new pwd to that same old password.
		+	8. I was able to log in on all devices using the old password.
		+
		+	So, just seems buggy. Thought I'd let you know.
		+
		+	Thank you,
		+	Thidwick
		+

		+	== Food ==
		+
		+	Hey, I've been playing Falcon's Eye on and off for about five years now. I love certain aspects of the game, it is a challenge(more on that in a minute) and the graphics are great. The variety the game encompasses is truly amazing as well... So I play for a while, get TOTALLY disgusted over dying so much, put it away for 6-8 months then get back into it, only to get frustrated again...
		+
		+	Long story short, why does this game make dying from lack of food so damned important?? I like a challenge like the next gamer, but really...
		+
		+	Points to consider... I realize that this is a GAME, but shouldn't there be some general logic to it.
		+
		+	For instance, why does the game only leave a corpse some of the time-same monster slain? I kill something, say a lichen, shouldn't it always leave a corpse? Did that killed lichen corpse magically disappear?? Shouldn't everything (yeah yeah, not ghosts etc...) leave a corpse? If the game is going to be so hell bent on starvation issues, it should at least be consistent on leaving food when you kill something. Leaving a corpse only some of the time isn't logical. And why are there some basic animals, that when freshly killed, are still poisonous? I'm not as clear on this one, but shouldn't fox, iguana or jackal meat always be edible? Dumb coding, in my opinion.
		+
		+	Another point, do you really die from hunger in like ten minutes?? In real life, one generally dies from hunger after five, six, whatever number OF DAYS!! This dopey game kills you off in five minutes. Again, not too bright when you apply some level of logic to it.
		+
		+	Just my thoughts... I won't even get into why the game always seems to send some wildly crazy group of monsters after you whenever your character starts showing any level of progress.. You go along, meet maybe two, three monsters tops simultaneously on any given altercation,throughout the entire game to this point, then you get to level 4 or 5 and suddenly a pack of nine giant ants seemingly appears out of nowhere, surrounding you, and oops, you're DEAD... Jeeez. Anyhow, my thoughts.
		+
		+	Oh yeah, how do I get into my own Talk page? Wikis always confuse me, very rule laden and not always that intuitive, unless I'm really missing something, which may be the case. Look forward to your response.[[User:Glorb888\|Glorb888]] ([[User talk:Glorb888\|talk]]) 13:17, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

		+	==The right wiki==
		+	That is a very good argument, and I don't have a very good response to that. However, I do not wish to revive the old wiki. I wish to use the old wiki because wikia just. wont. delete. it.
		+
		+	My idea was to turn the old wiki into a wiki for NetHack FanFictions. That way, the 'right' wiki would be this one, and the one for Reading stories would be the other. also, content that is known for Fact in NetHack would be effectively separated from content that is fanfiction, and might be wrong.
		+
		+	Also, WikiHack is a great name.
