I'll choose to theorize it's not really a plot hole that you can buy the mai tai without money because its charged to your room (Do I get a No Prize? :P). More of a plot hole is the fact that you leave the island without your belongings. That's your clothes in the closet after all, or how else is your black book in them? You can't take the suit, wear the suit, pack the suit, do anything else with the suit before you take off on the ferry and you have absolutely no visible luggage on you. So.. yeah.. that suit and any other belongs besides your blackbook and ID card are simply there for whatever next lucky person rents that hut, or for whichever staff person cleans the room between guests and keeps it for themselves. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-12589440265992389842012-10-22T03:28:54.362+11:002012-10-22T03:28:54.362+11:00You ended your first session just about where I di...You ended your first session just about where I did, I went a tiny bit further to get off the actual island before stopping. :) Also of technical note, when you type 'look at ' if Westland is not facing it he will turn to face it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-12990590167663301282012-10-22T03:25:26.584+11:002012-10-22T03:25:26.584+11:00Orra gurer, qbar gung.
