Or is he dyslexic or something? Reading this reminds me of the first five or six entries in Flowers for Algernon.

I don't think I even have to say the account handle that posted this on the official boards. How does he even play this game?



In order to advace i had to convert my paladin to more of a spell caster wich i do not mind so much but athers do not rilly have that ability.

I think the camp systems should be more player typ spisifick.
And by that i meen a rogue is task to stealthly gain info on the camps kill a few with speed and such.
A warrior needs take out a non spell caster of sorts.

Second the sigils duration.

I feel theas do not last neer long enuf.
What is it 5 minuts at master?
With col its level bais and you can time it in voln the stack
It seems you sigil up now you just burnt about 40 mana and do not have time to gain it back befor loosing the abiltys
can some one pleas adress this?
I understand its new but i havent even ben useing the societys abiltys in the raids becouse the duration isent worth haveing in my eyes

It feels like sig madness great for ten seconds thin poof.

So can a name in red pleas respond to this post?

I read a whole slew of his "failing Sunfist" posts and kept wondering the same thing. How can people with no love for the english language play a textbased game? How can you keep spelling things wrong when you've got to see things spelled correctly by the game or other people most of the time?

He always talks like that in game too.

And yet you call it role playing when done in game. Go figure.

umm Don't put me in that you. I never agreed with anything about accents and RP. He just cannot type or speak english it seems and its annoying.

First time I read an MCARNEY (Hevinsbane) post, was in the paladin forum back in like 05. It was amazing. I personally love the guy.

Do you ever wonder if he meant to be "Heavensbane" and just fucked up the spelling?

I kind of find poor spelling and/or grammar more acceptable in game than on a message board because you can't easily spellcheck while playing. Posting something that mangled when you have all the time in the world to doublecheck spelling is pretty bad though. And I have a hard time believing whoever wrote that doesn't realize his own spelling shortcomings. Therefore, in my mind anyway, it is completely disrespectful to those you expect to read and respond to your words if you fail to perform a simple spellcheck before posting.

I knew it was going to be hevinsbane as soon as I saw the spelling.

He plays Calladus now? That's a shame, Calladus always used to be cool. Hevinsbane is a kindly soul, but his is slightly underequipped in the sense department.

at least the guy bothered to break it up into paragraphs, instead of one big wall of bad text.

I dunno if he's got any kind of valid argument; cuz his writing's so atrocious I just blow him off if I bother to read the whole post. that's just how it is with written communications: the way you write is taken as a reflection of your intelligence (or lack thereof).

When he started posting back when Paladins first came out, it was confirmed that he has some sort of medical condition (can't remember if it was dyslexia or something else) that caused him to not be able to spell normally.

Not that I'm defending him or anything, 'cause his spelling really does suck. But, he's been posting for a long enough time now (relatively) that most people (who read his posts often enough) have gotten over how he doesn't have the capacity to spell right.

Ooooo Thats right. They won't give us a search button for on there..

03-16-2008, 07:34 PM
This may seem mean but if he's got a mental condition that affects his spelling, why does he play a text game?

Maybe it's a way of trying to challenge himself or improve himself? I dunno.. were it me I don't think I'd choose a game that would highlight my problem.

SayGoodbye
03-16-2008, 07:39 PM
Maybe he's not aware that he has a problem.

yeah except..

Dyslexic or not (and my guess is not), the Google toolbar doesn't require anything more complicated than opening an IE window is, so I still don't really get why he continues posting like that.

Wait until he/she/it starts making serious monk threads on the officials and asking the folks there if he/she/it can buy heavy assault rifles for HARDCORE, SON ... multi-user dungeon ... gaming. Jesus fuck.

He's aware and he is pretty self conscious about it.

Hevinsbane was definitely bought because he wasn't talking like that in-game when I used to play.

I think he's being shared honestly. Sometimes he talks like that, sometimes he doesn't.

I think I started a thread about him a while ago, if it is in fact the same poster. The one I mentioned plays Hevinsbane, he posts as carney04 or something similar.

RainyDay2080
03-17-2008, 04:29 AM
Hevinsbane has always spelled that way, he's definitely not bought. (Dunno if anyone else uses his account cause I only see him occasionally.) He typed like that as a newbie. At least his misspellings are always consistent. What's weird is when you get so used to it you no longer have a problem understanding what he's saying.

There's still no reason for him to put up posts like that on the officials though. Dictionary.com or something, fuck. I don't think he's self-conscious about it, I think he's too lazy to spellcheck his posts.
