    Default Site City Texts

    If you've seen them before, you may know that the city descriptions are very outdated, since I remember them from when I joined several years ago. Since so much has changed, and we're re-doing the site anyway, I figure now is a good time to update.

    I've gone through the old ones and made changes as I think they needed to be changed. The old versions I've kept for reference, and placed inside a quote directly after my updated version. If there is only version in the spoiler, it means that I did not change the original version.

    Please comment on any ideas you think go too far or you simply don't like. This is also a chance for spelling and grammar freaks to go to town as well. If you want to propose ideas as well, that's fine too.
    If I wasn't sure if we wanted to keep something or not (ie. the Bank, the Ancient Temple-thing ect.) I left it in. If I took out something that ought to be left it, please also say so.

    Good. I have only one problem:



    I'll let someone else deal with grammar and spelling.

    Corphish's dex entry specifically refers to being farmed for eating purposes, so it would be a good match.

    Great stuff, thanks. Will update.

    I'm not ready for editors to get access yet but I will give you guys each a user/pass soon.

    Well with the Repository I gave out access to almost everybody but nobody could seem to understand how to do things or didn't have the motivation to, so it will just be IB, Reli, and myself with access this time around.

    All right, just thought I'd ask for Clarification's sake.

    Updated city pages with new stuff. Also did minor corrections, but didn't keep track of them. I should've, sorry.

    It was stuff like putting in a comma, changing dragon Pokemon to Dragon Pokemon, or changing rumour to rumor. Nothing major. I guess you'll need to go and copy/paste what is on the site if you want the updated text.

    rumour. colour. Things have "u"s in them. Bad lazy amaricans. You with you spell how it sorta sounds and your Stimulation spelt with "z"s (LASER is an acrynome, so it's laser, not lazer).

    *Ehem* The 's' is for "Ztimulated", thank you very much. I like the u's in words, it makes it seem more sophisticated.

    Most of our page views are from Americans anyway, so American spelling is probably the way to go.

    And we aren't using lasers as far as I know, so that bit isn't an issue.

    Don't forget armour. As for American/English spelling (they are becoming two different languages) I could go either way. It is definitely laser though.

    All jokes aside, yes. It has to be laser if we don't want to insult intelligent players.

    LASER RADIATION---kinda redundant do you think?
    anyway there are differences between US English and UK English but it doesn't really matter now anyway due to internet across the globe....
    now compare US & UK English to Australian English then you have different languages....
    btw i'm american so color, laser, rumor, etc....


    i also think we should get back on topic before we royally mess things up...
    so are there gonna be anymore changes to the city info?

    No one has said anything, and they've been sitting on the site, so I'll say no. If anyone ends up seeing something, they'll post it here.

    Hopefully no one will bump it without a good reason, so it can stay open.

    If you're changing rumor to rumour, and armour to armor, make sure to change defence to defense.

    Ah, hopefully this'll be a good enough reason.
