It was me, I told him.
Of course, he didn't know this. It was all an elaborate plot. For months I've been stalking the dev team, learning their habits, patterns, and secrets. Using this knowledge, I constructed computer simulations of their brains, and asked these simulations to create passwords to the Stratics forums. After several failed attempts, I modified the drunk%, high%, and tweaking% values of the simulations and gained entry.
Using my new found dev-ness to gain his trust, I contacted Kelmo about his thoughts on a new tamable, the "discreet sheep", the only pet to have a "Uses remaining" counter. After several back-and-forths, and some disturbing pictures and background information provided unrequested, he then asked me about the aforementioned Soul Stone issue.
As the culmination of my plan, I told him it would actually be fixed! Aaaaaah hahaahaahaha! AND YOU FELL FOR IT YOU FOOL!
...I need a better hobby.
