People posting spoilers

For the love of god put a spoiler tag on your threads, or at least a big one at the start of your post. Or white out the text. Or whatever method you fancy.

There's at least 2 threads on here giving away story points, a post in the "Tiberium's real name" thread has given away a potentially massive one.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd like to play the game before I know the story.

I fully agree with Daz here.

One more joining the club, not my idea of fun to spend money and get half of the story ruined by reading some forum threads.

Well the responsibility does not come from the reader but the person posting the spoiler Razz

Not exactly easy make out in what thread and when there is a spoiler or not. I got the idea it was about the demo before I read any of it Rolling Eyes

As gamemate says, if I don't know a thread has spoilers in it then I don't know not to read it.
Hence the request for [SPOILER] or whatever in the thread title, or whiteouts if it only applies to a reply in a thread.

I'm sure 'Tiberiums REAL name' and 'R.I.P. CABAL' are huge giveaways so you don't exactly need to look at those in the first place, at least I tried to contain the topic rather than Alex's 'oh I'll just explain the name in the topic title'.

Besides, the fate of CABAL was needed to be explained because it's EA's take on the story of TS, just like how they explained tiberium. It has no expansion on C&C3.

For topics which have spoilers in them though should say spoiler. I'll rename the CABAL one to steer away those who don't want to know spoilers.

It was more the mention of a second alien side in the tiberium thread that I was bothered about.
The cabal one isn't too bad, especially given I haven't played and have no interest in playing Firestorm, just once people start posting stuff from the string files we could have the whole story posted up.

Everyone should also note... something existing in the demo's big files does not necessarily mean it is actually going to happen in the game.

I imagined that if a second alien race emerged, it'd be shown in the end movie. Which I imagine wouldn't have an ini/xml file documenting it.
