To Radek:

Just wanted to point out that your analogy of Nalia as a joinable NPC is flawed, as it is stated in the SoA manual.

I get your drift though, but stating that Firkragg is a Dragon is a genuine spoiler, as the player has absolutely no idea that Firkragg is a Dragon until the player actually meets him face to face.

Also, most threads regarding Firkragg are tagged with the spoiler tag. Those that are not, does not justify that it is okay to do so in the future. As I have said to previous boardies who do not see the point of having spoiler tags, instead of pointing out such examples, why not rectify it by asking the thread creator nicely to modify his thread title?

The movie analogy was not a metaphor for the thread, but for the forum, although I admit there are limitations as to how a movie and a forum can be compared. To put it in layman terms, a person enters this forum wanting answers, but not unwanted spoilers. Ironworks Forums strives for this aim, if I am not mistaken.
