Moditorial

Having exceeded the size of the fourth edition in less than two thirds of the time, the last version had become the most lengthy, most brief, and fastest growing incarnation of this age‐spanning tradition to date. However, there were fewer questions asked in it. It’s clear that a sizable proportion of the questions developed into longer discussions.

Since discussion is not the aim of the Q&A thread, you may find longer topics being given their own threads in General Oddworld Discussion. It remains to be seen whether or not I can be bothered to keep doing that, so this is a somewhat experimental edition. Let’s hope it doesn’t get messy.

Credit forever goes to TheKhanzumer for devising our Q&A tradition. Our ever‐growing bank of useful links will follow in the next post.

Happy Q&Aing!
