Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Oh fuck. Well fortunately its only accounts that haven't been logged into in 2 years... which means I've definitely lost a mule account. Way to go, SSG!
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Doubtful. If SSG were storing account passwords as plain text they are even stupider than any of us ever imagined.

Actually, that’s exactly what I’d expect from that lot.

I expect nothing, and they still manage to disappoint me.
