Meh there is a bit of a in-club going on and I don't think it changed much in recents months and with a bit I mean, I've littarly been banned for punching a player back after he hit me with a crossbow (fist used once, no one dead). The standart should always be the same punishment for the same misconduct regardless of person, with light varations depending on the situation, but instead its the buddy club. Surly I am overstating the issue, but it does exist. Who watches the watchman?

Regardless, most players are happy so w/e.

 Is there? I dont think I have really seen much to do with that, although that may just be the times I am on. But this sort of thing is exactly the sort of thing we have the forums for. Ban requests, to hit those the admins miss/ignore, ban appeals, for shit like what you just mentioned, and admin complaints to, well, what it says on the tin.

The most annoying group on this server has been the lizard group imo.

What lizards? There are all of two people who seem to play them, and of them one seems to be rarely on and the other plays other races too.

[Nienhaus]

Spoiler: grammar, enter at your own risk (click to show/hide)

Both of those are legitimate grammatically. the first is simply the (present) perfect tense, indicating an action in the past which progressed for a time and may or may not be completed. "Had been" would be the past perfect tense, indicating completion.

the added "has to" is mostly an emphatic indicating a strongly held opinion. I believe this changes it from indicative mood (i.e "actual") to subjunctive mood (i.e. sort of an ideal or hypothetical or perceived state).

Thank you biased Ozark.

[Ozarck]

Thank you biased Ozark.

w-wha? What? what did I do?

[Nienhaus]

For explaining grammar which I have a hard time with.

[Aedel]

Thank you biased Ozark.

Based Ozarck. Not biased, based.

[Nienhaus]

Whoops. I was close enough.

[Ozarck]

Oh. You're welcome. I have studied three languages, so I have some solid experience with grammar.

I tend not to be picky about it though, since living languages (that is, languages in active use by a reasonable amount of speakers) tend to change and grow, as all living things do. Grammar is only a part of language, a tool that helps the message get clearly from speaker to listener. What's most important (in terms of language) is the message, of course.

Stop! Nooooooooooo, you're making me pedagogitate! I'm nerding up like some bookish, fleshy Cthulu, come to scramble minds and incite insanity. Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
