The first level will be a tutorial mission just so you know. Note that even though it teaches you a lot, there are many functions they won't tell you about that can be found in the options menu. I think I went crazy trying to figure out how to drop an object when I just had to look in the config settings. Leaning is also not mentioned if I remember correctly. The second function is useful at times, but I found myself not using it very often. The drop feature similarily is only useful for doing things the Lytha way.

The Lytha way is something to consider after beating the game, if you want more of a challenge. It basically requires you to be an expert thief, closing/locking all doors, placing items where they were found (besides treasure) and not knocking out guards. The first mission is quite a challenge under those circumstances!

As it is unanimous I will finally remove them. I just have seen them as a game on the wikia. Editors will edit regardless, only people playing a game and not performing useful edits would resort to badges. This is supposed to be a collaborative effort, not a competitive area.

It stinks, but we are stuck with the wikia I believe. I have heard of other wikias branching off, but the funding is the difficult part. First, who wants to finance such a project? Even though I enjoy this game, I wouldn't want to finance a community site. Donations wouldn't be very helpful as we get such a small community. Besides 2 or 3 active users and the occassional spammer we don't see much in terms of activity. Even the admins find themselves lapsing into inactivity due to such stagnation but come back in an attempt to endeavor to boost the wikia forward. We are at the wikia's mercy. I hope you are right Ninja.

Talking about Thief to me is like talking about cigarettes to a person who just quit smoking. I think Thief too much and it comes up almost in every game topic.

I understand what you mean Raadec. I know how many times I have said I am going to play Quake and become active. I just seem to end up doing something else. At this time I am reading "The Whisperer in Darkness" and am going at a rather slow pace. As I have yet to even hit the novels I know it will be a while before I finish. When it is time though, I will be ready. Quake is completely set up on this computer and my test video seems to work (nobody really responded on it though as that is when everyone disappeared).

Vork never said he was going. He just disappeared for the time being.

EDIT: I also got a message from a wikia staff member about deactivating the new editor after testing it. I passed on the flaws, including some mentions about the fluid layout, in the hope to further the improvement. I mainly use source editor so hopefully someone more acquainted with the visual editor could further test it if they wish. For the visual side it seems like an improvement, it just needs to be completed and not depricating source editor by making it into a minimalized editor. Editing the walkthrough pages is easier when you can see a larger amount of source, which helps when you quickly need to switch between bold and normal whilst writing.

DOUBLEEDIT: It sounds like they have listened to my suggestion for the editor in regards to the size of the source editor and currently are also working on galleries, no response on the wikia theme. Hopefully this ends up better than the fluid layout.

Badges have been deactivated based on a unanimous vote among active users (Stoudemire having said his opinion before and the rest being captured here).
