I have to say, the quality of tech support that I received over last weekend was above and beyond. The trouble was all on my side, though I hear what Shadowcat is saying about the download counter.

The other option is something like a time limit, where you have 3 days to download the software, or something. The problem with that, of course, is one person telling their "warez" newsgroup to all jump on the server to download the file over that time period. Slightly worse than the possibility of someone shareing the ISO arround.

I would guess that replacing the download counter with something like a emailed certificate or cookie, would actually create more tech support cases than it averts.

But those are just my uneducated guesses.

Now the real question: Is Esmerelda based of a real person that the game designer knows? I have several interesting stories about exes stealing towels.

it would be easy enough to mod in some HHGTTG items and events. The real trick would be making something that has a random effect each time you use it. not sure thats possible.

I don't think it it, but you could mod in several identical items, and have them trigger an event to disable the others when one is found..
