Fixed. Thanks

Re: The carpet bag: Um, must be a regional thing again. If someone claimed to be paying "good money" I'd interpret that to mean "a lot of money". Obviouslys soaK thinks so too.

A rather nice-looking student in a labcoat frees you from the straps and apologises for the inconvenience.

After reading through this thread, I simply refuse to believe there's no Z (or zed) in the Australian alphabet.

There's a z, but it doesn't live in the word "apologises"

In the description for the StufStik:

"of an astonishing number of physical items, and it fights right in your pocket! Assuming you have pockets."

I could be really missing something, but I assume it's supposed to be "fits right in your pocket"

Thank you sir

Although, a StufStik "fighting" in your pocket could be interesting...

Oh no! Not again! Why is everyone in here so obsessed about pants? Someone even nailed a rather shabby pair of trousers to the wall, along with a rather complicated flowchart."

Quotation mark not appropriate.

The proper term for "Flock of Bats" is actually "Colony of Bats".

There's a reason it's called a 'Flock of Bats'...if I recall correctly.

In fact, 'colony' is only correct for roosting bats. When they're flying, technically it's a 'cloud' of bats, apparently.

Anyway, mark that down to my lack of animal-collective-noun-knowledge and move on, because, y'know, 'flock' means 'move as a crowd or in a group', and that's what them there bats are doin'.

Whilst spading weapon attack/miss messages I can accross this miss message on the elastic-bat-a-ball thingy......

"The hit the ball so hard that it snaps the elastic, and the balls sails off into the distance. You scramble to retrieve and reattach it, but miss your chance to attack."

Shouldn't it be "You hit the ball........"??

Yep, thanks, it'll be fixed next update

Toy Problem, in the trig lab, one of the initiative messages. "A whole flock of applicants for a secretarial position begin pestering you to decide which one is best suited for the job. While they'e distracted, you get the jump."

They're has an R in it, usually.

*found by belsonc, passed on to me until he has time to make a forum acct*

-jB

Usually, but I believe the r is optional in some dialects. Are you a scientist?

Lol, fixed.

In the descriptions of any of the Wabbit Furs, rabbit is spelled well, rabbit, rather than wabbit.

EENH. WRONG.

Well, at least now we know what happened to the "r" from "they're". Apparently, the letter "r" is a trickier beast than we first suspected...

By which I mean "fixed" of course.

"You sell your stuff to a monocle wearing peanut for ?? moolah."

Shouldn't it be "monocle-wearing," unless it's supposed to be a monocle wearing *a* peanut, but that's just ludicrous.

Ludicrous? This. Is. PARADOX!
Er...sorry...heh

You're absolutely right, a peanut wearing a monocle is significantly less ludicrous than a monocle wearing a peanut. Fixed.

hehe. gobb was reply number 69.

"This is a pair of ridculously oversized novelty scissors, used by important people to cut silly ribbons."

Shouldn't that be "ridiculously misspelled oversized novelty scissors"?

Yes. Fixed.

Item: Was That You? Price: 48

Was That You?
For using 200 farts-in-bags.

Saw this, checked the wiki. Got confused.

Yes, I know there's sense on how you changed the spelling.
Place an 'a-' after 'in-' and remove the 's' from 'farts'?
There is only one fart in a bag so the plural should be 'fart-in-a-bags' no matter how silly it may sound.
Or you could say 200 farts-in-200-bags.
Just trying to be of help.

Just noticed this-
Ultraspatiotemporalanomalistics Lab - Stint Stunt
You curiously poke your head around a corner when quite unexpectedly a pair of trousers waddles up to you from behind."

That's a superfluous double quote, there.

They're the best kind

I'll sort that out in the next couple of days.

White Sugar Candy

The holo dice effect descriptions all say the duration is 50 turns when it should be 20.

I said I wrote them in a hurry Fixed.

Also just noticed LG's post about "farts-in-bags". No. The plural of "fart-in-a-bag" is "farts-in-bags". Although technically it should be capitalised. Shrug.

This is nit picking at it's finest, but shouldn't it be "No Changes" instead of "No Change" on the change equipment screen?

No. That one's correct as is.

Sure is

superfluous quotes at the end!

You tell him that noone really knows what quantums are, hence the term "quantum uncertainty". (the bravado option on the quantum uncertainty adventure in the ultra lab)

Is "no one" generally accepted as a one-word, non-hyphenated entity? This is something I've actually wondered about for a long time.

Bah, I already fixed this... Forgot to upload the fixed page. Fixed properly now.

I think it depends where you grew up, but I think I'd prefer it separated and I've changed it to "no one".

Description:
This is a milt-on-your-mouth tasty pastry from hell! No really, you can smell it. Anyway... Enjoy!

Is Milt-on-your-mouth... Forget it, I'm not going to ask any such thing about Milt-on-your-mouth. Especially about it being 'in' or anything. Or who Milt is... If it's a typo, there it is, if it's some sick joke, I don't wanna know about it. LoL!

I can tell you that it is intentional and is a reference to something Not a typo.

Though no light is emitted from the rather grimy smiley-face painted on his belly, his stare scares you to the bone. You pee in your pants (or pants equivalent, or pantslessness if you�re thus inclined), while your pride takes 10 DAMAGE!, I really doubt the � has to be there :p

Fixed - thanks.

FYI this is caused by copy/pasting stuff from word (or equivalent) into a text editor. It's a single-quote/apostrophe which looks identical to a "normal" one in the text editor, but shows up weirdly in HTML. You know, just in case you wanted to know that

You eat the battered banana. It's batterrific! Or is that bananarific? Whatever, its good.

Missing apostrophe in it's (contraction of 'it is'). And maybe too many Rs in batterrific...

I agree with you on the apostrophe but "batterrific" is as intended - contraction of "batter" and "terrific"... Well, it's right in my head anyway, and since it's not a real word anyway, I say it's right

Update: Debating the spelling of nonsense words with myself has made my brain go all sore.

Update: My solution - invent ANOTHER nonsense word. See the new consume message for clarification. Go me!

You eat the battered banana. It's batterrific! Or is that bananarific? Batternanarefic? Whatever, it's good.

Batternanarefic - ? Shouldn't it be an I, not an E? You're just doing this to torment me, aren't you?

Yep

UPDATE: Alright, not really. Fixed.

(Taken from the bat-a-ball hit message of hitting the six banana-wielding monkeys)

You spend a few seconds skilfully smacking the ball with the bat, then with one almighty WHACK! you send the ball hurtling right at your opponentw, hitting them for 108 damage.

That's no "s", that's a w!

Haven't you ever heard of an "opponentw?" Sheesh! Fine, I'll write it in in "common" then for you less-educated types.

By which I mean fixed, thanks

The Diesel_Brave award shouldn't have that _ in between the 2 words like most awards.

Fixed.

"You gain 1 mysterious white spores." Just doesn't sound right. Maybe "...pile of..." or "...group of..."? Dunno. Maybe just simply "...1 mysterious white spore"? I haven't verified, but it may be the same for the funky pink and strange green spores, also.

From the "Grinding Axes" movie at the cinema...

This peculiar occurrence is covered in astonishing detail by one of the biggest names (and biggest bodies) in the documentary genre, Gabriel Moost, who is known for his hard-hitting style and and even harder-hitting belly-flop.

Should be an instead of and.

Fixed, thanks

I'm sure we've already had this discussion before... or at least I've had it with someone before. In any case, the answer hasn't changed. The item is called "mysterious white spores" - you gain one of that item. If it helps to imagine the quotes around it, go right ahead, but it's not a typo and won't be changed.
