She enters the thread and says "Hey guys! this will be added in a month!". It isnt added in a month. Everyones pi**ed at Gaile.

She doesnt respond at all to the thread. Infact she ignores everything Xunlai related. Only a few are pi**ed and Gaile isnt sent to the gallows.

I think you kind of missed the point. It took her less than 2 pages to squash this "rumour." If the Xunlai Market Place was only a "rumour", she would have squashed it just as quickly.

Here's my speculation:
it just goes to show that they obviously thought of the market place idea, played around with it but haven't found the best solution for it yet as the same market will be implemented in GW2 most likely so whether or not we see it in GW1 (as a beta test for GW2) is uncertain but possible.

I was disappointed with Gaile's replies to the Xunlai Market discovery. I would have preferred she said nothing, or "No comment," rather than talking about ANet's pet gerbils. She did revise her comments later, and I commend that decision.

On this topic, double party animal points makes as much sense to me as double sweet tooth or drunkard points, or in other words, it makes no sense to me at all.

That would be a Long Island Ice Tea... And I'm willing to wager the big bucks that you don't drink... because the more sugar in the alcoholic drink... the worse the hang over. It's the sugar that gets you.

It's actually mostly because of dehydration due to the diuretic effects of alcoholic drinks.

I get dehydrated easily so I usually carry a bottle of water with me to avoid headaches when I'm out.

That's true too. And it helps to drink your eight glasses of water all day long if you know you're going to drink alcohol that evening. I can handle the dehydration though. It's the headache I can't handle, and sugar causes that.
"Be careful about eating too much sugar before and while you drink. One cause of the terrible headache-hangover is the sugar hangover. Alcohol spikes your blood sugar levels. Think about how you would feel the morning after you ate 5-10 candy bars before you went to bed. Alcohol has a similar effect on your body plus other negative effects as well." ~ source
Somehow though I don't believe hangover would be an issue by mixing alcohol and sugar in GW... I could be wrong though...
