I am horribly offended by the foul language in this thread. The English language demands justice. ColonelEther's corporation "Black Market Warfare" is the target of my ire.
I will pay the following:
All fees related to war declaration for two weeks.
Fee Schedule:
Shuttle: 50,000
Frigate, Destroyer: 500,000
Cruisers, Mining Barges: 1,000,000
Battlecruiser: 2,500,000
Battleship: 5,000,000
Freighter: 10,000,000
All T2 variants of these hulls will have the reward quadrupled. Maximum payout of 200 million isk over the two week period. Your organization must have a killboard where I may track your progress, or have all kills posted on BattleClinic. I expect daily updates which may be as short as the number of ships killed, if only to know that you are actually logging in.
This is not a very big job but it may give a newer mercenary corporation something to do. I will be a reference for future work. If you perform well then I will sing your praises. If you perform poorly then I will let C&P know and they can perform the task of humiliating you. Unfortunately, I am not very good at making people look bad.
If your corporation is interested, please contact me in-game via mail. I may hire more than one organization. If this is the case, then the 200 million isk limit still applies for all corporations combined. First to kill is the first to get paid.
Please remember: Reply by in-game mail ONLY. Replies to this post will not be considered.

Sometimes you get paid even if you don't do the work, or if you simply amuse me.

My last bump for the night. Nobody has contacted me in game and I am sad.  I must note that this is not the first time I have hired mercenaries over this issue. I have hired Unspecial Forces in the past for this line of work (nice guys, actually stayed in touch throughout the entire contract, but didn't get much done), and before that, I don't remember (but they sucked). I also hired Certo Cita a long time ago to take care of the fail-alliance Evercon. It is too bad they're no longer in business, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Those guys ran up one hell of a bill...

You're thinking of a different kind of foul language, StevieSG. Thanks for the bump, though!
The foul language that has disturbed me includes, but is not limited to: Failing to capitalize 'I', excessively long run-on sentences, failure to use the apostrophe correctly, failure to capitalize proper nouns, and a failure to use "there", "their", and "they're" correctly.
Merc work still available!

My corporation is up for this... please contact me ingame. We would like to be reimbursed for the war fee in advance, the rest can come after successful kills. I hope these people are not just another station hugging corp.
Killboard: UBOBC
And of course, we're keeping any goodies we get from the wrecks, considering your ISK/kill rates.
Also, please tell me: Would you like us to smacktalk and produce those yummy carebear tears, or would you prefer that we stay quiet and just kill?

I fully endorse proving to small children the value in doing their English homework.
Direct in-game consequences of poor grammar.
Now, if I could somehow figure out a contract on my 12 yr old...

So, you want to talk about the proper use of English? Please allow me to pull out my red pen:
The foul language that has disturbed me includes, but is not limited to: failing to capitalize "I," excessively long run-on sentences, failing to use the apostrophe correctly, failing to capitalize proper nouns, and failing to use "there," "their," and "they're" correctly. Mercenary work is still available!
Also:
- "...that has disturbed me..." isn't really appropriate, as the event concluded at a definite point in the past or it is an ongoing event. "...that disturbed me..." or "that disturbs me" is correct.
- "The foul language... includes... failing..." isn't correct. It is the writer or speaker who failed to do the things you describe, not the foul language. You used "a failure" as well, but that was also incorrect. What you should have written was "The language was foul because it failed to...," or you should have used the actual foul language, since the introductory statement "...includes, but is not limited to..." prepares the reader for a list of examples, not a description of grammatical errors.
- The phrase "...excessively long run-on sentences..." is nonsensical. Is there a run-on sentence whose length isn't excessive? A sentence is "run-on" when it combines two or more separate sentences or independent clauses without proper punctuation or a conjunction. It is, by definition, too long.
So, please, STFU about the correct use of English. |

I, too, find such abuse of the English language downright revolting, and I fully support this endeavour.

I got the red pen out again:
"Now that is a proper grammar ****!"
"This" is for something present at the location at which the word is used, and "that" is for things not located where the word is used. You could have gotten away with adding my quote to your sentence, and then using "this." Technically, "****" is an acronym not a proper noun, and should thus be in all capital letters. The sentence construction also leaves an ambiguity: is it that I'm a grammar **** who is proper or that I am a **** of the type "proper grammar"? I think you meant to use the compound adjective "proper-grammar."
Please, for God's sake, stop typing. |

Wheee, this is fun. "****" is an abbreviation of national socialist, or rather, Nationalsozialist, at least "technically". I guess un-technically it's totally different. Wat?
