|desc=No, not the figure from Hellenic legend who was part of the sacking of Troy, this Odysseus specialized in financial protection services. In other words he guarded Twilight's largest banks. You could call him a protector of troy (ounces, that is).
A crafty strategist, Odysseus only turned to fighting as a last resort. He was often heard to claim that fortunes were saved or lost by the time the blueprints were drawn.

This mask contained a variety of optical enhancements that served him well, providing multi-spectral vision that allowed him to see details others would miss, and exceptional ranged targeting ability, because both the original and the modern Odysseuses were good with the bow, see?

Talk:Cutting torch

Added article. Please insert ItemID and Plural as soon as you know them.
Oh, and it'd be great if someone would add the Cutting Torch to the tables (Offhand Items and maybe Metal Drop Modifiers?). I've got no idea how to do that. --[[User:Alarion|Alarion]] 08:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

It would probably go under Item Drop Modifiers, with a note that it applies only to metals.

I'm a little surprised that this can't be used like a firecracker/enerbun globule for welded items. Seems logical.--[[User:Jettclecto|Jettclecto]] 14:36, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Bard's Play

Found a bug. I'm getting this message when I try to use the play (it's after 6AM on April 17th, 2009; a Thewsday, but also a snow day):

"You pick up the the play and start to read ...

There's no time to read right now, you've gotta go to work—you don't want to get fired, do you?"
It might be worth spading to see if this is purely a snow day idiosyncrasy or if this happens on Fraydays too.
