Nur Ab Sal Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Hehe that's right HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

Saraya Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Im sure your doing great work. However ive lost alot of faith in your 'team' as there are countless spelling mistakes over your website, even on the main page =/ Sorry but thats just how i judge things <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OH...MY....DEAR....GOD! The nerve. Go team!
Synaesthesia Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Im sure your doing great work. However ive lost alot of faith in your 'team' as there are countless spelling mistakes over your website, even on the main page =/ Sorry but thats just how i judge things <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you are should be "you're" NOT "your" as you wrote above. Just pointing out a spelling mistake. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If we're going to get really picky (and we will), "ive" should be "I've" (capital I and an apostrophe). The end of the sentence is also lacking a full stop.
Wild Storm Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 So, once finals week is over, then the project will be back on track and updating. Correct?
Azure79 Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 So, once finals week is over, then the project will be back on track and updating. Correct? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After finals, I usually found myself drunk. They'd have to party and drink first. Give them a few days to unwind. Staring at strings of code isn't what I'd want to do after finals.
Aurora Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah, if anyone spots actual spelling errors on the site, we would like to know. metadigital, thanks for posting that. Being a pretend-celebrity still excites the heck out of me. Soooooo, after finals, yes, things should pick up again. I'm personally also in the middle of graduation and finding a Real Life Job (ha!) and moving, so it might take longer for me to get back to work (not that I've been doing much lately, obviously). Anyway, thanks for the continued support and cheerleading in general, and sorry again that we can't toss out any kind of solid deadline. I am following my fish. A temporary home for stranded ML'ers
Tarquelne Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Awesome! (I refer to most everything, with the explicit exception of the spelling-error critique ) No, three "!", and all caps! AWESOME!!! ahem, sorry for the outburst.
Gorth Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 I'll just stand over here in the corner and look very impatient. Just ignore. >_ Keep up the good work! “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

The end of the sentence is also lacking a full stop. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, for purposes of thematic consistency: You should quote "I" as you've quoted "ive" and "I've". Therefore the following sentence can be rewritten:If we're going to get really picky (and we will), "ive" should be "I've" (capital "I" and an apostrophe). The end of the sentence is also lacking a full stop.

I'm anxious to play a completed game (or at least much more complete than now), but I realize that you are all doing this in your "free time." You are doing this without any material reward, and you are generously sharing it with the community. Thank you all for your work on this project.
Wild Storm Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Anyway, thanks for the continued support and cheerleading in general, and sorry again that we can't toss out any kind of solid deadline. Just promise us it will get done. Okay?
Yst Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 It makes me a very, very sad English Historical Linguist, when I encounter somebody correcting somebody criticising a source's grammar and find that all of the critics have a poorer grasp on the language than the source (the Restoration Project site) originally cited. Seriously. The Restoration Project homepage has more consistent grammar, capitalisation and spelling than EITHER the person who originally criticised its grammar, capitalisation and spelling here, OR the people who criticised him in turn.
tu2thepoo Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 At any rate, I think it's cool beans - and not just because y'all were gracious enough to link to muh site. I was wondering where the extra traffic was coming from
LadyCrimson Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 "However, I have lost alot of faith in your 'Team'. Last time I was in a classroom, there was no such word as 'alot'. :D And no, that's not meant as a insult. God only knows, my spelling/grammar on the net is often atrocious. hehe And it has been a while since the last update. :/ “Things are as they are.

Eplebit Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Just want to add how great I think it is that you guys are trying to fix the game. Keep up the good work!
GhostofAnakin Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I don't care about the mod. I just want my personalized autograph from Aurora since she's now a celebrity. :D "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Nur Ab Sal Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Autograph on her special celebrity photo? HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
Jad'en Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Im glad your so optimistic And sorry about all the spelling and grammatical errors, however i didn't realise that i was going to be judged on it. I'm just looking from a business point of view, that if i were an investor, or a stakeholder in your project, i would not be inspired with confidence. Also to all those who were very nice to correct me thank you, you wasted at least 30 seconds worth of posting time arguing a lost cause and i hope that when this 'mod' comes out your very pleased with it
GhostofAnakin Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Autograph on her special celebrity photo? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, you never know how much a signed photo could go for on Ebay. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Sinbreaker Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Sharp work fellas. Thanks for sacrificing your time that you should have been using constructively at your jobs, while sitting at your cubicles (ala Office Space) and doing this instead for us! :D No really, stellar work fellas. I think you should make the programmers of Obsidian Jealous so they'll try and outdo you guys and actually finish the game "
metadigital Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 ... And sorry about all the spelling and grammatical errors, however i didn't realise that i was going to be judged on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, the primary point of the correction was not to judge your aptitude for syntax (woeful as it is); it was to point out the hypocrisy and ludicrous nature of your blatantly flawed and insensitive comments. Or did you not expect Aurora to respond to your trolling? I'm just looking from a business point of view, that if i were an investor, or a stakeholder in your project, i would not be inspired with confidence. Also to all those who were very nice to correct me thank you, you wasted at least 30 seconds worth of posting time arguing a lost cause and i hope that when this 'mod' comes out your very pleased with it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Business pov? For an amateur project being completed by a brave group of fans for free? While most are doing finals? WTF? Even if you choose to measure their efforts so, they have thus far exceeded all expectations. Get a life, imbecile. You will never get a mention in a magazine by being a naysaying troglodyte.
