While the general populance probably doesn't use this spell, some of the
'figlet glyphs' are completely illegible. You have to /guess/ to figure out
what letters it's asking you to type.

I understand that this is a way to defeat people creating triggers, but lets
be honest, it's really only obscuring it. We could just as easily create a
trigger to translate the glyphs (once someone figured out what letters they
are) and have those letter sent. Even if it's choosing one of the more
legible figlet glyphs, 30 rounds is a long time to waste for something this
silly.

It was just easier to remove the abusers.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theyre not.

I agree, some of the figlets are hard to read, perhaps the hard to read
ones should be removed... but perhaps I am naive here, but I think it\'d
be REALLY REALLY difficult to trigger those glyphs, so saying that people
will trigger them anyways is not a valid reason to remove them...
granted, I am not a master trigger writer, and I obviously dont use trigs
since I am a wiz.

And even still, I could change it to questions like, using figlets to say
what is 1+2, etc. I havent tested the figlets since elwood added a whole
lot more, but in my experience with the first set we were using I almost
never ever misguesed the answer. Granted the color of your background
might make a large difference, i use a black background, I would imagine a
white bkg might change the perception a little, but mostly I am merely
guessing.
