I am going to start doing an advice column on the forums

If you need advice you should send me a private message. All letters are anonymous (include a pseudonym). No joke letters, you are not funny. You can ask about love, food, your car, whatever you want, but bear in mind that I am not going to let my complete lack of knowledge on any subject preclude me from giving advice on it.

I am guaranteed to get bored of this after one runthrough so you know, go ahead and get it out of your system.

    No advice will be given in this thread, send a PM. No, it's not a trap.

    Why is is that every time Tube does something someone says "it's a trap". It's never a trap.

    And half of them will be joke PMs regardless of the warning

    I'm pretty sure that the only things I'd seek advice about are things that I've talked about here, so I don't think I'd be able to get away with asking about them while maintaining anonymity.

    I appreciate the offer though.

    It has always been a trap!

    Wasn't the "anonymous" poll in the unfair banning thread a trap?

    A hilarious trap, to be sure, but still a trap.

    I don't think it counts as a trap when I explicitly declare that I will be perpetrating shenanigans at every opportunity

    We don't have a subforum to get specific advice from me on a weekly basis.

    Ah, fair enough. I didn't participate in that one, so I didn't know you'd made it explicit.

    You really expected to win, though? Fascinating.
