Pretty much. Has its origins in how pretentious Olde Englishe types write Encyclopedia as Encyclopædia. That and I was trying to differentiate the Sæleis from Faeries, which would make it a little bit too Zelda-like.

Development has stalled again. No graphics help at all seriously demoralizes me. I might get to putting together what I have so far in NPC form on Graalympus, maybe, but right now it's not looking too promising.

We also do in Denmark, but basicly you use the æ instead of ae on english ;O

Most people dont like to volunteer anymore.

Thats really cool. But instead of having to click on stuff, just have them walk, and after a certain time you start to dry up and need into a body of water or something. I like that picture where it shows the venus flytrap eating the ****, reminds me of "Little Shop of Horrors"

Anyway, I hope its completed, but don't make it on 2k1, then people would have to reset and that would suck.

I fail to see why it would require restarts...

Like how pretentious internet types use 'you' instead of 'u'?

Tyhm · #54 10-26-2003, 10:07 AM

It's not so much pretentious as lazy...

Perhaps you misread. I was positing that using the full, correct spelling of the word 'you' is pretentious. It is not lazy to type more keys!

My point, then, is that it's not pretentious to use the correct spellings for words. Rather, the opposite is lazy and indicative of the inability to spell correctly (eg 'ur' as an easy replacement for 'you're' and 'your').

Back when I was co-manager of G2k1 (alongside Kamuii), Kawaii talked me into scripting the Sæleis race. It was going to get done in one day but she decided to never get on RC and tell me what all she wanted them to do.

Tyhm · #57 11-02-2003, 03:30 PM

Tragic, really. So many races never got finished.

Scott · #58 11-02-2003, 04:18 PM

I'm sure it will be more considered in the future. Though they could have been done in the past, more needs to be working in the present.
