Thought it was kinda funny...

I'm not sure what ur point is

Soul Shaker · Feb 20, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

you have a very warped sense of humor...

insidious420 · Feb 20, 2006, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Hmmm... would someone mind explaining...?
I'm not sure what I'm missing... I have a fairly dirty mind and am usually good at pickin up sarcastic & subtle jokes but I'm not getting this....

maybe hes talking about registrar

Arcanis the Omnipotent · Feb 20, 2006, 04:14 AM // 04:14

which would be stupid, since Registrar is spelled correctly.

"Registration"
Registrar

Funniest thing ever. :-|

Ok maybe its my bad... It just clearly looked mispelled to me :/

ObsidianJoy · Feb 20, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

It looked misspelled to me, too. But now that Arcanis points it out it makes sense.

Wow, if you find correctly spelt words funny you must have a hoot every time you open up a dictionary.

I guess it is just one of those words that look wrong but are actualy correct, happens to me, if I look at a word too long the letters start to look funny and I second guess myself, even something as small as "The" can look wrong to me. Hmm, maybe I should get that check out.

I think what he found funny was that the game tells you to talk to the Guild Registrar to create a guild. Like someone telling you: 'To get water from a tap, push the handle to make water come out.'

I.e. something so obvious that there shouldn't be something there to explain it to you.

Yet how many times do we answer the question 'How do I create a guild?' in Ascalon, and once received the answer, the asker replies 'Oh, thats what a registrar(registerer, registrarer, registr, ect ad infinitum) does. Why didn't they just say so?'...Actually playing a game on a medium that can also be used as the worlds biggest and most complete dictionary..and you'd never know.
