Attention: Wolfstar and Daedelus

Message to Daedelus and/or Wolfstar:

I've just read some of the history of Atys. Very interesting, BUT... would it be at all possible to get a spell checker or an editor for this English version of the website? You could use an anal English speaking person or you could just use an MS-Word type program.

The grammar and spelling are really annoying. I keep expecting "All your base are belong to us!" lines and I'm actually finding them. I mean this is supposed to be an epic storyline. All this work and effort has gone into the game/story. Readers see great concept art then BAMMO! Huh! What! I don't understand what the guy who wrote this just said...

It takes you right out of the story.

It just takes a couple of minutes to go over your work and make sure that everything is passably understandable and easy to read. Using a spell checker should at least be the minimum effort.

Can you ask if this can be done? Or is it too much to ask?

Zeke.

I feel like a speller Nazi, but this is the Atys history story I'm referring to:

I am glad to read, that all the problems with installing the game and creating an account went right past you!

Now you have the time to quibble about some wrong spelling and odd sentences.
The german forum is full of it.

A little note like: "Could you please go over the text again? It has some flaws." will be sufficient.
There are bigger things to solve right now, don´t you think?

My opinion.

[ZonMezz]

My mistake was that I didn't post in the North American forum. Ooops. I'm from Canada. I've never had any log in problems because I don't even have a chance to get the game probably until somewhere in early November.

Also I don't read German. French yes. German no.

Anything else?

Stop hitting me with the Stick of Sarcasm please.

Zeke.

But i like this stick so much. It´s my walking stick.
Next time i´ll use a baguette...

ZonMess we try our best to proof read all we can, but sometimes due to time constraints a couple of miss spelt words might slip through and the spell/grammar checker doesn't always catch them...I should know I'm one who complains a lot about it too.

We did note your comments about the storyline Zonmezz and it is being looked into.

[ZonMezz]

Cool. I just don't want you guys to suffer from the "Zero Wing Syndrome".

*AND* just to torment people as we wait for North American video game distributors to get their lazy butts in gear (yes you E.B.):

In A.D. 2101
War was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You !!
Cats: How are you gentlemen !!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: HA HA HA HA ....
Captain: Take off every 'zig' !!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'zig'.
Captain: For great justice.

<edit> Note: Except for 'zig' which I assume is some sort of ship, there are no spelling errors in the above conversation.
