So don't call me lazy please because your just making fun of yourself

Revolutionary Idea

[Phaedra]

As usual, it's not about making it a "way of life."

It's about the fact that people who can't be bothered to spellcheck are probably the same people that can't be bothered to put enough thought into their game design so that it doesn't implode unnecessarily. (And again, I'm aware that games sometimes implode despite the PMs' best efforts, but the recent number of implosions, IMANSHO, is far higher than it could have been.)

And who's yelling?

/me cocks head and listens for a bit.

I'd have to agree with the spelling and grammar thing. Some games I've had a chance to look at turned me off because of these issues.

Some of the really common ones:

*Random use of apostrophes. Every word that end's in s get's an apostrophe, apparently.
*Their, there and they're all mean different things.
*Likewise to, too and two.
*And pair, pare and pear.
*Get's is not a word. Not on this planet, at least.

And no, spell check is not really the answer. It will still let you use an incorrect word form. How about, oh, a Manual of Style, a good old-fashioned dictionary, a thesaurus?

If I may,

The better you spell the more respect you'll get from your peers.

Respect = Good


Without that respect people probably aren't going to be interested when someone with 2 posts asks for help, especially with something so time and energy demanding like an ARG.

Over all, if you don't care about spelling people aren't really going to care about your project.

This thread is really useful, though. It teaches you how not to recruit. Just as this threadtells you how not to launch one.

I suppose i went a bit overboard, i was really angry that day, my girlfriend just split up with me and it wasn't nice getting stuff from an online forum! Oh and i have changed the name of this post, have a look that's proving your point oliverkeers13

Is anyone else actualy intrested in joining me to help me make this new ARG?

[C_Brennan]

Not to be a complete bastard, but everyone else is completely right. You've nailed your own coffin shut, and while you may believe you are serious about your endeavor, you are not. And you have proven this through your posts and through your own acts.

Sorry chief. You know what they say about first impressions.
