Geas

It breaks my heart to see the decline of literacy in our beloved game...

A completely innocent Abharsair

What do we learn? Be nice to wizards, especially Admin.

He can't speak complete "leet" yet.

Anyway, that's nothing. if you saw how kids in my school write, you'd cry. A few basics:

-They always use their. And they spell it thier, at that. "let's go thier".

- Always use it's and where, not its and were, respectively.

-To, too, two? Nah. They use 2.

-Punctuation marks are a thing of the past.

-Never use two letters next to each other. "thats a realy col leter".

-Since some words in English have silent letters, they apparently become invisible, too. "wat".

-Don't remove an e or anything if adding "ing". "haveing".

-Much like punctuation, capitalization is a thing of the past. Unless the word in question is their own name. If it's someone else's name or anything else, it's lowercased like everything else.

-Why spell when it still sounds the same? Ogre = "ogir"; bored = "board"; which = "witch".



And this doesn't apply just to my school alone, it's spreading around the whole country. I'm just glad I'm one of the ones who were taught correctly.

Fun part was first 5-10 minutes when i was trying to figure out why the hell would they think i'm RL drunk... and almost completely ignoring my questions, ic and ooc... I was geting completely normal output ;P


...and then someone pasted me one of yeger's lines

Here I thought you actually did all that on your own free choice when I first read it. Didn't find out it was "not" the doing of Abharsair until later.

Hehe, well, must admit this was more evil when one of my chars suffered from gnott hugging him for weeks

i for one thought you were really really drunk, or maybe a genius

Drunken Genius?

I've even seen otherwise intelligent Geas players calling them "ogers". Ok, I get not being able to spell, but when you've fought hundreds of the things you'd think you'd have actually read their name once or twice.

*sigh*

Yes, that's our America, Tess.

Our wonderful lanned ov teh fre.

"Oger" or "Ogers" are the german word for ogre/ogres and 'Kobold" is the german word for "goblin".

Yes, and "dick" is the German word for "plump", but we still don't call our overweight characters that. We should just stick to English in Geas.

That'd be well and good, except the particular person I'm thinking of is a native English speaker.

Nifty...all the games I've played that had kobolds in them and I didn't know that.
