Bill Gates, evil genius
So I’m well acquainted with the notion that I have to strip out formatting from Word documents when I’m pasting them elsewhere. I have all the autoformatting turned off – something I learned to do the first time I was pasting special event messaging into Dragonrealms and none of the quotation marks showed up. Embarassing!
But I thought I had everything set correctly when I posted up this week’s Dunder Mifflin Infinity task, a review of Schrute Farms. But no, there’s plenty of freaky formatting to go around, and you can’t edit your entries once they’r submitted. I put a fair amount of effort into this – purchasing beets, photographing them, and Photoshopping them into my daughter’s easter egg carton. I even carved a freakin’ beet into a jack o’lantern. My fingers are still stained red. And it’s all for naught!
Darn you, Microsoft! Darn you all to heck!
ETA: Actually, I see another Mac user whose review looks like it’s all in ASCII. So maybe it’s not Word, maybe it’s Mac and Dunder Mifflin Infinity. Get with the times, DMI!
Considering the nature of the ARG game, is it possible that the site scrambles things and is deliberately underperforming sometimes?
An ‘Office’ type website would in the real world. Ask me about my last job’s official website.
(hint: They did the whole page as a really ugly, hacker-friendly Word doc with badly embedded image.)
