This are all the messages you get when you try to do something you really can't do.

Messages

  • Trying to buy something from yourself:
    • You can't buy stuff from yourself. What a preposterous hypothesis! Did Steve tell you you could do that?
  • Trying to over drink:
    • Drinking that would be a bad idea. Your bladder might go pop!
  • Trying to over eat:
    • You can't fit that into your stomach.
  • Trying to use a device when you're out of Technology Points (TP):
    • You don't have enough Technology Points to use this device!
  • Trying to use a device you don't have installed:
    • You can't use a device if you don't have it installed!

    • You need to select an item to buy first!

    • You can't afford that.
  • Buying zero or nothing of something in an NPC store:
    • You need to tell me how many you'd like to buy!
  • Buying negative zero of something in an NPC store:
    • Don't be silly. You can't buy zero of something. Well, you can, but what's the point?
  • Buying negative one or lower of something in an NPC store:
    • How can you possibly buy a negative number of something?
  • Trying to generate more than three random jokes per day:
    • Despite much fiddling on your behalf, the device stubbornly refuses to do anything. Perhaps it's had enough for one day?
  • Trying to watch a movie with less than 2 turns:
    • It takes 2 turns to watch a movie. You're going to need to come back another time.
  • Trying to use a holographic pair o' dice when you've gotten snake eyes:
    • You open up the device, but instead of the usual pair o' dice showing, say, a seven or eleven, you see a pair o' evil looking red snake eyes watching you. Looks like you need to wait until later before you can use this again.
  • Making a trade offer with yourself:
    • Offer Not Sent: Trading with yourself is just asking for trouble!
  • Trying to change your age above 120:
    • The value supplied for "Age" is invalid!

  • Trying to send a gift from Florist Gump to an invalid recipient:
    • Your gift could not be delivered because the recipient doesn't exist.

  • Loading an outfit without actually selecting one:
    • You need to select an outfit first!
  • Inputting a non-numerical value in "Use multiple":
    • That's not very sensible now is it?

    • You specified too many ingredients! Maximum is 20, you specified <number>.

    • It looks like you tried to access this page directly, rather than through the Paypal donation interface. If this is a mistake, please contact us, providing as much detail as possible (ie. Player Name, Amount Donated, Time and Date etc.) and we'll do our best to help resolve the problem.

References

  • Did Steve tell you could do that is probably a reference to the Flight of the Conchords song Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros[1]

It could also be a possible reference to Steve Sawyer who told every one about hope and everything was possible.

  • "Oh no you Di'n't became response to a bold statement, accusation, or action; slang for "you're going to wish you hadn't said/done that,"
