+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 OK, so my Brother has fever for going out at any hour for the chance at a FTF. Yesterday evening, I got a call... "Are you in front of the computer?" "Can you look something up for me?" "I'm going after this FTF, and somehow my printout doesn't have the coordinates" "Can you look it up and read them to me?" So...Here's the topic...I'm not really into the whole FTF thing, so if he goes out after one and finds himself not properly prepared, should I refuse to help?? I mean if you're in the race, you're on your own, right?? Quote
4wheelin_fool Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 He printed it out without logging in, or looking at the page and bolted out the door.. Hmm. Perhaps you may want to give him slightly altered coords to prevent being an "enabler"? Quote
+Taoiseach Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Why wouldn't you help someone? Particularly your own brother! Quote

Perhaps you may want to give him slightly altered coords to prevent being an "enabler"? Seems that there might be a glitch in printing after the recent updates?? Quote

That glitch has been around for quite a bit longer than that. I've frequently had that same thing happen to me, where a whole section, including the co-ords, Difficulty and Terrain ratings, cache size, etc. are missing for no apparent reason Quote
oakenwood Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I mean if you're in the race, you're on your own, right?? No, if you're in the race, you're using every available resource, including time, money, batteries, spousal tolerance, and favors from relatives. Just give him the coordinates and let it be. Hopefully, he thanks you for your help and owes you a favor. Maybe you'll call him when you're on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Quote
+SkellyCA Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Capt Kirk always used all of the resources at his disposal, you are that resource! "Scotty, I need more power!" If you were Scotty, would you help Kirk? Of course you would! Quote
