Tumbleweed
Hey man,

I undid your edit from a little while back-- allow me to explain. A few days ago I went through the Tumbleweed page and deleted all of the BS rumors of hauntings, and spent a good deal of time playtesting other ones to be sure they were real or not.


 * A fire bottle does splash damage and can injure NPC's near the point of impact even if they might not be visible to the player; the fact that you threw a fire bottle and heard a dude screaming isn't really a haunting, it's either a glitch or just the fire bottle doing what it's supposed to do-- set dudes on fire. '

If you were in a horse-free zone, or you heard an NPC screaming in a place like Barranca that's supposed to be abandoned, well, that would be something else, but as it stands...
 * The shadow girl thing is pretty much a load of crap, not sure where you got it. I edited out similar stories of a "ghost lady" before that somebody wrote in.
 * The shadowy horse or whatever is probably a dark-colored wild horse; they roam that area. People need to check that there isn't a really rational explanation for something before they write it in as a haunting, especially when the explanation is really obvious.

Anyway, see what I'm getting at? Please do check the "Talk" page before you make an edit along those lines, 'cause I put a lot of work in cleaning that page up. Also, as a side note, don't make personal statements like "I (so-and-so) did this"-- even if it was really you that did it, say "One player did such-and-such and such-and-such happened."

Take care, and happy editing! EmceeGrath 22:59, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
