    Man, some of you guys are sucking the fun out of this game.

    I stand by the decision to not count slang terms, or, words used in a slang type phrase.

    I don't think its fair for anyone to forbid the use of shortened words/slang or count it as a kill (i.e "commish").

    Its all about intent IMO, and I don't want people to be killed cause of technicalities.

    Also, on the edit feature: Editing in itself is not a killable offense. And if someone makes a typo, and corrects it before someone else catches that mistake, then there is nothing I can do. Just having "edited by" underneath a post is not a killable offense.

    Screw it then. I don't wanna be a buzzkill. I'm back in. If I win, I guess some people will probably give me an asterisk. But I can live with that.

    I don't know what counts as a kill anymore after reading the debate in this thread, but I think that this might just be the end for Rockets2K.

    Also about me typing up "commish". I'm perfectly ok (or should it be okay :p ) with it being regarded as a kill. It will just follow the trend of me going out because of the "sim" again. Last time around it was "textfile".

    Whatever is decided I'm fine with. I know I don't post much, so taking advantage of what I do post is expected.

    But I would think I type up enough "typos" for what I do post. At least that is what happen in chat. :)

    Happy hunting.

    It did not stand out last post so I'm trying again: "it's"

    Because Heath is a non-native English speaker, I think that "happen" clearly falls under the category of grammar rather than that of spelling.

    It is not a kill. For one it was before the 7 a.m. start time, and two, it was accepted by codell. By all means, you are still in the game unless Batman got you on "happen" vs. "happens".

    This may be safe under the slang rule, but I would like to know what it means.

    Does this count as a kill? It should be an Ent.

    I wouldn't think so. I would say that falls under grammatical error.

    that's one of those things that I always get wrong....the whole 'who vs whom' and 'a vs an' thing.

    I intended to say 'a' and not 'an'...if I had intended to say 'an' ( and trust me, I would own up if I did) then yes, I would be toast. ;)

    How about owning up to the it's kill instead? :p

    Also if Batman wants me gone on 'happen' then I'll do what's :D right and call it a kill.
