EXTREMELY URGENT !!
XegaForce (#241249) finishes construction of an ultimate alien weapon !
Universal Council have removed attack restrictions on XegaForce !
47 hours before end of the galaxy.
Will there be anyone who can stop this Empire before it`s too late? Overmind Project

I notice a couple areas of bad grammar: (words added in parenthesis)
(Stricken words in " ")

1) x Hours before (the) end of the galaxy
2) (The) Univseral Counsil "have" (has) removed attack restrictions on player!

Basically, Add "The" between before and end and also before "Unviseral Counsil) and also remove the word have and replace with has.

This would make it a little less confusing. Thanks

all credit is being give to the empires that posted them, including date, empire name and

empire id number

agreed , sure there is reason to do this, it is a seemingly easy edit, finding the part of the code with that in there would take some time, for that matter the entire games code for every typo or grammar error.

A list of them all was in the old forum and would help were you to start a new list in the GC General forum, admins and guides have a list in a seperate place showing most of them, i`ll see if i can dig it up and post it on your post when you make it PM me.

It seems like it would be very easy to fix up grammar and spelling mistakes. Its not even a matter of being good at coding lmao, just an adjustment to a String variable... =P

can you read and understand the bad grammar =p ?

remember the programmer isnt english , so frankly he has done a good job making everything readable , even if it isnt perfect you get the point , but yes i suppose it will be fixed eventually :P

It should read as follows:

EXTREMELY URGENT !!
XegaForce (#241249) finishes construction of an ultimate alien weapon !
The Universal Council has removed attack restrictions on XegaForce !
47 hours before the end of the galaxy.
