The Dink Network

I hate it when people cheat to defeat a game.
In my opinion when cheating defeating the game is not a victory.
I never cheated in a game.
It's nicer to end a game on your own power and thinking.

Why cheat? When you could have a nice quest and do a little thinking and you can defeat the game on your own.

Because sometimes the fights in Dink Smallwood are very annoying, and not fun at all. A good example of this is when the enemy has more defense than you have attack. So I usually cheat because I'm annoyed, or when beta testing a dmod.

Um... because those pigs, you know, they be tough!

yeah right. Those pigs. No but seriously cheating is not fun at all.
I start in any game with fighting so the level up goes quickly and then are all enemies in the end easy to kill. So I don't need cheats.
And secrets? They are with a little thinking easy to find. Or just with a good search (screen for screen).

It depends on the D-Mod. Most D-Mods are perfectly fun without the aid of cheats, while some are almost impossible to beat.

Yeah,some people think that all they have to do is make an enemy sprite super-tough and that will make the game better.
As though it will make up for the lack of originality or something.
I only cheat if it seems obvious to me that I will never make it past a certain point.Why should I be denied seeing the 'idiotic' ending of a dmod just because I can't get past some uber-tough stone-giant.

I totally and utterly agree.

I hate getting stuck on a rock/house or up a tree, so that's when I use the cheat thing, move Dink off one spot onto another, rather than replay that part of the game again.

how many people have beaten SOB without cheats, walkthrough, looking in the scripts or the map? i would speculate merlin is the only one to ever do it, and probably in like a half hour.

I did but it took more like 12 hours. And I missed all the cool stuff I found after reading the walkthrough later.

I beat SOB without any walkhru's or cheats, but it took a few days... and then after reading the walkthru, played it again.

I didn't cheat "too much" when I played SOB. But I deleted the script for the poles in the maze, and after killing the ending monster once but being killed by a scorpion seconds later I cheated him dead.

Ok, THE STONE GIANT was to though. But with the new release I make his power less. Now He is easy to beat just like the rest of my dmod.

So noone has to cheat with my dmod.

I cheat the third or fourfth time through a game, the first time I'll play it to just beat it, then I'll play it to be uber (in ff viii I had my first 2 chars lvl 100 before I even fought the first boss, it was badass, I beat the supposedly unbeatable boss) then I'll either play for speed or cheat and whenn I cheat I'll ust the cheats that are meant to make the gameing experienct totally different (invincibility so that you can take a piss poor lame unit and crush an army with it chuckling and just enjoying the absurdity of it)

That is why I cheat.
