At least some people have to be doing it on purpose at this point.
I agree. I think that people asking for Holiday Island save files/full saves fall into three categories or groups:
1) People who are just looking for a shortcut to unlocking the game's scenes and content, who are ignorant to the fact that that approach doesn't work the way they expect it to, and who haven't done their homework to find that out. I think this is the largest group, representing about 50% of full save requests.
2) Trolls, who were either previously part of the first group or are very aware of it, and who get their kicks from trying to trigger the long-time members of the Holiday Island game thread community and get a rise out of them/us; it may also be a way of protesting the fact that other people's save files don't magically unlock scenes and content. I estimate this accounts for about 40% of Holiday Island save file requests.
3) "Smart-asses" (
) who post "full save" requests as a parody of the first two groups and the typical response they get here. The existence, persistence, and predictability of the first two groups motivates this third group to create these posts for (hopefully) humorous effect. I'm an occasional member of this third group
(and I'm looking at you, 882036). This group would be the remaining approximately 10%.
Also, thats a great reaction pic, saved.
Thanks!
True confession time: I have a folder/directory on my computer labeled "FORUM IMAGES", where I have a fairly extensive collection of (mostly humorous) image files that I have accumulated and used (or intend to use) on various F95 threads over the years, and I have a sub-directory/folder labeled "That Face You Make" where that reaction pic lives, along with about a dozen others
(I really need to get a life...).
