This is really no big issue, but it bothers me a bit: In some storyline maps, there are certain four letter words that I would consider cursing (like one meaning 'May you go to the place of eternal punishment!' ). In my opinion these don't add anything to the game or the story, so I would suggest simply removing them. Or if any would prefer, replace them with the ever popular ---- or !@#$. As I said, I don't believe these words help the game in any way, but they may actually turn some away from it (in other words it does not help but may do harm).

Hahahaah thats a good one.

where are these? which maps? thanks.

I am thinking mostly of Map 3 of the Carnage Campaign and Map 4 of Hornbourgh's Dominion. Thank you SO much! I will let you know if I come across any others. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE these campaigns , and the triggers on these are pro ; but I feel that these words add nothing to the story and could be offensive to some (myself included).

Again, Please do not misunderstand me: I have no desire to be the "Thought and Word Police" , but there are a couple of people to whom I am not recommending (as of now) this game because of that reason.

Thanks once again.

sorry could you write here which sentences are problemous? (i read them tru and found nothing harsh)

maybe the term "damned"?

actually i am not native english so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Those words arent met to hurt no one why makebit a big deal? It fits with the storyline

Yes, Daniel, that is what I was referring to. In English, 'damn' and its variants are curse words. I understand that no one is trying to offend anyone, least of all me. I also do not wish to offend anyone. However, I would make a case that such words do not fit with the storyline or add anything to it or its effect: at least not anything that substituting '!@#$' would add. Since it ISN'T a big deal, would everyone be willing to make this small change just for my sake? I would be most grateful!

ok, i see
please contact the authors: Longinus(Kirk) and Hardeep (you will find them as forum users) and ask them to rephrase it so i can change the map flavour texts.

thanks!

Ok! Thank you! Will private messaging work for me?

yes

Well..... i suppose its okay for my newest campaign to have plenty of '*@!@? $&$&//:$;#€&$!$£×€@! $*$($¥-*+?+¥¥' right? Cause it seems very unseemly for the characters to be as cultured as a less violent human.

It is okay with me - I have an issue with seeing the 'curse' words, but it I am okay with using symbols "!@#$%^&*()_+" to convey their uncouth manner.

Btw thank you again for editing your other campaign. I still enjoy it!

What is wrong with this picture? I can't use the word "password" in a message, but I can name a game "BROKE NIGGER"?

I already reported it and maybe it will soon be solved, though i dont find so much offense to '----'

Lol, yes, I think the system is being worked on/tweaked lindsey.
