You might change the word "bet" to "wager"-it's a little more refined and civilised...and insert in the title "wager match-entry fee required"

[COOLguy]

Ok,

inserting Max-Damage's suggestion and correcting some grammatical errors (also in manuscript form) here is the new text. Tell me if it works.

wager: i did not even hear this word before and i am afraid that non natives either (please confirm me other european forumers! thanks!)

We need a word that is so common and simple so everyone (an uneducated native, or a foreigner) will understand.

so this is why i chose "bet" or "betting", i only "feel" that i use is clumsily in my sentences.

other words that could be ok, and commonly known
- champ(inonship) game
- fee
- paying game
- award(ed)/(ing) game
- prize(d) game
- gem winning game
- Geme (meaning gem paying game)

or such are widely known words i think.

but actually "bet"/"betting" is very good i only think it is weird how i use it.

[max-damage]

Your usage is fine...it's clear and simple...i thought you meant you didn't like the word...

[draakjee]

the only reason i know what "wager" is, is because i learned it at school. so it's not really common imo

the only word i could come up with that hasn't been said yet, is "gamble/gambling"

[max-damage]

That works, too...

[COOLguy]

Well the grammar is corrected now. Just change all instances of "wager" to what you will and it will all be fine and dandy.
Just remember your article adjectives, please.

[Stratego (dev)]

ok! thanks!
(i did not understand the adjactive part )

[max-damage]

ok! thanks!
(i did not understand the adjactive part )

An Adjective is a descriptive term that modifies a noun...

[Stratego (dev)]

i know that, but i did not undeerstand why he wrote it.

[max-damage]

Oh, okay...i didn't, either...

[COOLguy]

Article Adjectives: "a", "an", and "the".

I know you have articles, but your English had forgotten them all.

And you say I pick on the guys too much!!!

[COOLguy]

Oh boo hoo.

If it is on the forum, I don't care as long as I can understand it. But we were asked to polish this for the official game.

[max-damage]

I know, I'm just jerkin' your chain!!

[COOLguy]

Okay if it's a personal joke let's PM!
That way we don't push patroid's buttons.
Because we are pointlessly posting now...

[max-damage]

FINE!!!!!!!!

[patroid]

Its yust bad if you post in hundreds of different topics
It dont make any difference for me to view hundred
Or one post in a topic (ok a small difference but nothing
That make trouble for me)

- Stone bridge can be built only by humans.
- new TC generation logic: if there are fewer players than 4 than the generator will think there are 4 players - placing TC-s around the "imaginary" players too.
