So, well, I'm the "noob" who requested it. I look up things in the wiki all the time, can't be bothered to memorize trivia (and yes, the *entire game* is trivia - that's part of it's charm). If that makes me a noob, there you go. In my particular instance, I was looking for skills to perm after I flipped boris post ascension - I guess if you have them all memorized, the link seems kinda useless.
As a "noob" - I don't even know what a "relay override script" is. Counting on people who are looking for information to know about obscure features (again - never *heard* of it until now, I don't hack kolmafia, I just play the game) is probably sub-optimal. (Teach a man to fish - can someone point me to a URL that talks about them, and how to use them? Best I can find googling is a link to forum discussions, and of course without knowing what they're called, googling is a tall order). Assuming there's a default script - perhaps this should be added?
I have a friend (not irontetsubo, another one) - he constantly makes decisions for others based on how he sees it, and I constantly have to remind him that he's not the typical end-user. He assumes - incorrectly - that everyone else knows what he does, and he knows a lot, and so he often chooses the *worst* thing to do... I wonder how many kolmafia users make "relay override scripts" - 10%? 20%? And how many comment about kolmafia hacking and features. I suspect you're all in the same boat - you are substantially dissimilar to the typical kolmafia end-user. You likely know the game better, and kolmafia better, than the vast majority of it's users - I wouldn't assume anything is obvious. (indeed - my chief complaint about kolmafia is the plethora of 'hidden features' - half of my suggestions are already there, somewhere, but it's not clear how to use them)
Just seems to me that it might be nice if dead text that says "pastamancer" was clickable to get more info. I feel that way about most text, frankly.
I guess the real question is - who is the intended audience for kolmafia? Call me odd, but I kinda thought it was there to de-obfuscate (and automate) a game that's kinda obfuscated, on purpose. I don't see how dead text is better than non-dead, for a n00b for for a "UB3r 31337 kOlM4f1A HaX0R".
Sorry for the Rant. EXCELSIOR!
