#### Have they changed the Rube?

The Rube showed up while I was in Baqala (or maybe Xalanga, one of the ancestral lands) tonight and offered me a Sammich for a Mortar Barnacle. When I said no, he disappeared, after only offering that one trade. Do we only get one shot at him now? Or did I click some new "go away" button? Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

- I think sometimes the rube will only do one trade. I know the rube will do a 4 chance and 5 chance trade.

- The Rube should give 5 choices to everyone, every time. If not, it's a bug.
  edit: or you clicked the "no thanks" button on accident

- I suspect you clicked on the wrong button. I've had this happen to me a couple of times.

- Rube will start with offer #2 sometimes, or just skip around some. He needs some time off, I think. A nice vacation drinking those fruity rum drinks served in a pineapple.

- For a "normal" Rube encounter, you should get 5 choices every time.
  I don't know whether TS made the number random for tincture triggered rube visits though, and it's possible they tossed a bit of Glitchian humor in by making it variable number for 'tinctured' Rube.
