Rule 1 No Spoilers in post titles, mark spoilers in comments

Rule 2 Hints only please, do not give out explicit solutions unless as a last resort. If you do, mark them as spoilers.

Looking For Solution Advice? Instead of asking 'Why doesn't this work?', try explaining why you thing it should work. Sub regulars will have an easier time helping you.

Spoilers:

Please report posts containing spoilers unless they are hidden using the following method or are inside a thread clearly labeled as containing spoilers.

>!spoiler!< = >!spoiler!<

(Note that extra spaces will prevent the spoiler marker from working. >! spoiler!<, >!spoiler !<, and >! spoiler !< don't work consistently for all users, even if they look like they work for you.)

If submitting a spoiler, please flair your post as a spoiler AND mark as a spoiler in reddit.

Please DO NOT include spoilers in post TITLES: neither mods nor users can edit or spoiler post titles, so the whole post will simply have to be removed.

Posts asking others to literally play the game for you will be deleted.

No “卐”s, please.
