...i never stated that i had access to it. i was speaking generally, as in the fact that it's not a good game but it's cool (for aynone) to have access to.
I would definitely agree that jojobean's original statement only gives the impression that he has the game. The key words being "this" - which would indicate that the game is very close to him, as opposed to "that" or no such descriptor, which would indicate it not being so close to him - "isn't" - which indicates that he has the ability to form a solid opinion on the game based on experience, as opposed to "probably isn't" or something similar - and "it's" - which again strongly shows that he knows from experience that having access to the game is cool, as opposed to "it would just be cool..." or something similar.
Thus, if jojobean didn't have the game, a proper sentence could have read: "VB Faceball probably isn't that great of a game, but it would just be cool to have access to it." It's also interesting to note the unnamed prototypes that jojobean says he has in his collection, which would again lead some to conclude, especially after the above statement, that the Faceball prototype is part of his collection. I also find it interesting that in his reply, he never firmly states that he doesn't have access to it, which again causes some suspicion.
All in all, such info could, indeed, cause a lot of e-mails to come jojobean's way about his possible access to the Faceball prototype, unless he firmly clarifies the situation. ;-)
By the way, I actually don't care too much to play the Faceball prototype either, I'm just sort of playing around with this for a little fun. After all, the Faceball prototype doesn't even contain a finished game, right?
