I was thinking of posing this in the thread about angband, but it's really about something different.
One other thing that I noticed in every rogue-like game I've played is a collection of editable text files that could be used to changed the monsters in the game, the objects, just about anything.
If you knew what you were doing, you could add a lot to the game ย or use some of the greatest cheats known to man.
In coldstone, will we be able to make external files that would be used with our games? Such as, making our game's set of monsters an external file that could be edited by any player, with a word processor instead of coldstone. Naturally, you can screw up your game by editing these files, but the people too stupid to learn hot to do it usually don't go looking for the game's data in the first place.

This is a classic mikee argument: 1) Make an outlandish, inflamatory statement 2) Backpeddle from it 3) Throw up some straw men 4) Nitpick to divert attention from the real argument at hand
