Hi Lilac!

I haven't forgotten this post but I've given it some more thought and, if you're going to publish a separate PDF for Windows, I think it might need an overhaul. It's just so different from the way the game works on other devices. The last time I really played around with any of the info out there was in my June thread that I referenced on your Time Travel Basics forum thread. But I believe I noticed similar differences between Windows and the available documentation when I first started TTing. Some of what I tried then and in June, based on the available info at the time, can probably be avoided as either non-viable or at least redundant. A Windows-only TT guide should probably be simplified to cover only those steps necessary for Windows users.

I'm going to need to do some testing before I can get back to you further. Plus I try not to future TT anymore (no reward worth the risk) and have never TT'd for the purposes of talisman extension (never had good timing for testing it). So I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about those parts...perhaps we can get another Windows player to comment on them? That might be a good idea anyway since I'm currently still on Win 8.1 and other users may be on Win 10.

I'll be TTing tonight and can start getting back to you on the backward TT and general parts after that. I'll probably respond a section of the PDF at a time so there are no really lengthy responses and so I can get through it all eventually. It will probably take a few days, so I don't have to interrupt RL, gameplay or Wiki interactivity too much.

In the meantime, I was wondering if, during your research putting the original PDF together (the one for all platforms), you noticed if there was much commentary specific to Windows users. I haven't really checked lately but I'll bet the majority of what is available out there is specific to Android and iOS and that it might be better for the Windows information to be from scratch and not refer to any of the existing documentation, except possibly the YouTube videos. Not that I'm discounting any of the work that may have been done before. But info here can become outdated so fast, it's just better if the PDF is what Windows users reference moving forward instead of lots of email trails here and there that may or may not pertain much, if at all, to Windows users. Know what I mean?
