Really cracks me up.
RAWA tells people that, yes, the pellets light the lake.
Others jump up and call him out on it because "It's not wired into the game!"
Big SHMEAL.
NOTHING, in MOUL:a is written in stone as far as the Age's prp files, .fin files, .sdl files and python are concerned.
As has been stated, that can be changed, in very short order. It won't take a massive overhaul to see a difference, even a small one.
So why don't they change it now?
Ah! Lots of reasons.
RAWA has told us that the "Freetime Fairy" does not pay Cyan a lot of visits. That this is a big lake, will take a LOT of pellets, and should be measured in terms of months and years. I'd say that's a very good hint.
Don't forget, when MOUL:a started up, we all had to start at the beginning again. I would assume so did the pellet count for the lake, heh.
What's that? You want to know NOW what the answer is?
Hrmmmm......I thought most people understood, this is a Myst game. Answers may not always be obvious or present themselves. Sometimes, we don't even get a hint to a solution, until something has been done first.
I would think that in this case, X amount of pellets of the right combination have to be dropped first. What X is, is something that only Cyan knows.
So if you want to know what X is; you have to keep dropping pellets, until something happens (wired or not, it is something that can be put in place very quickly. Why should they have that already wired so that you can cheat to figure it out? I think it's pretty cool that there's at least one thing that no one is going to figure out any time soon until it happens. Just like the Markers and the GZ being turned on).
If you're the type of person that has to be "in the know" about everything, and can't stand waiting or not knowing.....:shrug:....then as RAWA said: "It's not your cup of tea."
Deal with it or not. Move on.
If on the other hand you like to do things with the pellets and have fun with it (oh man, all the different things that went on during the GT days: The "Eco Terrorist" thing, the competitions, the Pellet Parties, the "Physics" experiments.....the list goes on and on). Fan's have in the past figured out ways to have fun with pellets and other aspects with MOUL, and none of it was always "wired in".
If that's true, then it is "your cup of tea.".
So should you drop pellets? Again, that's completely up to you. If you have ways to have fun with it, then go for it.
If you feel it's a waste of your time, again, that's fine. The pellets will be waiting for you if you ever want to drop any. They don't care.
Can a blind person tell if a cup is half full? Oh most certainly yes. My uncle has measuring cups with raised notches on them. He has to have his finger in the cup to tell (so it's a good thing he washes his hands when preparing food), but he most certainly can tell if the cup is half full or not.
Can he see everything there is to see? Of course not. He's blind, and has been since Vietnam. Does that keep him from enjoying life?
From what I've observed, he still really enjoys life. He even told me once that being blind means he gets more surprises...heheh. And he likes most surprises.
I guess dropping pellets would be his cup of tea!
