So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.

*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*


Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.

"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "

Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?


Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)



Just something that's always bothered me.

Oh I can see it now!

*zombie squirrel droning voice* NUUUUUUTS! NUUUUUUTS! Must have wasabe coated NUUUUUUTS*

At risk of permanently warping the PG-13 mind...yeah Biggie, wasabe coated nuts would probably burn a l'il bit! Yes...even fluffy ones.

No idea if there's wasabe markers *hooked on black liquorice ones*

Better be careful about the Zombie Squirrel thing SS. Remember, Bad Ass kills zombies all the time when he's not Sleuthing with his Ak-47!

And Crunchpatty...why'd you have to go there LOL!

yay! Like autumn, says, VICTORY IS MINE!

Biggie. Biggles. Mrs. Bigglesworth. Thaaank you sweetie. But don't act like you didn't want to say it. Everyone loves fluff.

Few know that young Bobo was fluffing in Bulgaria before I saved her. They slathered cheap makeup on her and gave her a choice between that and sewing for the cheap clothing manufacturer H&M:

(Bad Ukrainian accent) Okay Bobbo, you floof or you verk de stitch machine, ok?

Bright brilliant bobo took the lesser evil. Poor thing, AlZ probably has her working hard on his zombie INFORMATION DELETED BY THE GOVERNMENT

Oh, pray for Bobo.
