Strange ,The in guild helps

Post by etadan »

for some reason many guilds have a strange ,The attached to them, like:
School of Survival, The
Templars, The
or this should go to typo command inside icesus?

Actually, that is a fairly common occurance in english.

Not sure if it is grammatically correct, but basically it means e.g. "The Survival School". In a way it speeds up glancing searches as the first letter of the guild corresponds to the first letter in the lists.

I guess the 'The' is added to the end so that it doesn't mix up the alphabetical order (almost all of the guilds would start with a T).. You'll spot the guild more easily if you can scratch 'The' and look at the first letter of the first noun of the guild name.

Idles or Jmz do correct if I'm utterly mistaken. :D

but they're not in alphabetical order :)

yes, "The <guild>" wouldn't look so good, but those "<guild>, The" isn't much better.

P.S. Who's Jmz?

Hmm they're not sorted in alphabetical order? oh well..

Jmz is a friend of Idles (not mudding to my knowledge), who has done a lot of work for these new pages (see Credits).. He rocks.

Where is the Subject seen? (wonder)

Where is the subject seen?

another typo, in guild help about chronos:
[quote]The world consists of several planes. The place of our existence, the material plane, is the only one of them.[/quote]
is (the removed) only one of them.

and again, do www typos go to typo inside icesus, or to forum?

Hmm the subject-thing is strange. It's visible upon replying to the message, but not on the forum itself?

I guess minor typos might flood the forumdiscussions, unless perhaps if they'd go under a specific topic under somewhere..
