Proofread this site, and post any spelling or grammatical errors here. You will receive one point for each spelling or grammatical error you find in any content node of this site.

This is a great way for newcomers to get to know the project and get a few points while you're at it! You need to read the site content anyway, and you're bound to come across a couple errors as you do.

Note that the errors must be in official site content (such as The Game or The Project sections), not in discussion threads or the like.

Damn, I might have to reduce the rewards for this task before people run away with it. :P Nice work, though. Six typos, six points.

"This is the Fate of Io project charter, which describes the vision and goals of the project and how you fit into them."

The comma is not supposed to be there.

I'd split it into 2 sentences and maybe make it flow a little better:

"The Fate of Io project charter describes the vision* and goals of the project. You can also get information on how to contribute your own ideas."

*(visions? [there is probably more than one vision of this game within the minds of the people working on it])

Yeah, and in fact I coulda sworn I replied to it already. I'm getting senile. -___-;

Anyway, I think in the original document the "did" was italicized to emphasize the fact that we have seen this Antarean before, as opposed to some other random Antarean. Of course, the important thing is that we recognize the Antarean as Delloran, and since we haven't come close (ever) to finalizing his design, I have no idea whether he'll have that red stripe or not (probably not). In any case, a lot of Part II needs to completely revised anyway, so more subtle comments in that area should wait until we're done with that process (and it might take a while).

if anything a semi colon before the last and, but I think it reads good enough as it is ^^

Just some basic cleanup here for the sake of clarity and fluidity. ^_^

Awkword wording in the second paragraph. Maybe rework and fit into the first? "In an unlikely feat of engineering, Pylos erected its third large-scale mining facility on the face of Mount Nimbus, the tallest point on the Titan Continent. This facility's isolated, inhospitable location would suggest the company has discovered an abnormally high concentration of eumonite in the area - enough to make delving amid the glaciers worthwhile. Construction on Gamma has just been completed at gameplay, and the mines are being prepared."

One of four identical facilities, Pylos Delta takes the shape of three large pylons which converge above a central drilling shaft. This pyramid rears high above the alpine trees of the southeastern forest, encircled by a clearing where an army of workers is busy finishing construction. Forest wildlife has largely fled the loud cacophony of hammer blows, metal on metal.

Once the facility is operational, a main shaft will be drilled, from which miners will branch out in search of precious eumonite. Ore from Delta will be added to Pylos' already wealthy hoard.

Hidden among the dunes of the northwestern plateau are the Pylos Laboratories for Eumonetic Technology and Training. The administrator of these facilities, a human eumonetic known as Miriel, is a member of the Pylos triumvirate and a zealous advocate for the advancement of human eumonetics in Titan society. Her agents scout the population for the one person in a thousand who is born with eumonetic potential. To date, more than sixty students (including Rheya) have been found and admitted to Miriel's eumonetics training program.

As their name indicates, these labs also conduct most of Pylos's research and development for the eumonetic technology it will eventually sell to consumers. The desert outside provides an effective testing ground, far from civilization. A large tunnel through the plateau connects the labs with the shore, where boats can drop supplies and pick up shipments of new products.

Initially I am only going to proof read the node opener pages. After I've done those I'd like to try proofreading the sub-nodes as deep as the location descriptions for example. It's going to be a mammoth task but I'd like to do as much of this as possible before working on a different current task.

At the foot of every page is the copyright statement. It uses a comma delimited list. It is incorrect to use a comma followed by an 'and' in stating the final item in a list.
Original: Kenton Varda, and contributors
Suggested: Kenton Varda and contributors

The same problem exists in the statement below the copyright decleration.

Grammar. Which/that misconception.

Word order causing confusion. A game that role-plays a computer? lol
Original: a computer role-playing game.
Suggested: a role-playing computer game.

Isn't 'correct' English. Does not sound right.
Original: Please at least look through it before posting
Suggested 1: We plead that you at least take a look through it before posting
Suggested 2: We ask that you take a quick look through it before posting

Another comma, and error on the last sentence. It isn't needed to break the flow, either.
Original: progress, and
Suggested: progress and

Bad web design. Just below the member name is a link to 'home'. If you look about two inches to the left of this link is the same link in the navigational bar.

http://fateofio.org/news/
Under 'Midsummer Mark', the paragraph beginning with 'First and foremost'
Punctuation. Not sure whether either of these commas should be there or not. The original has one commas after the quote but I think this comma shouldn't be there but instead one should be there before the quote. The one before I'm definate about because you should always put a comma before a quote in the middle of a sentence. The existing one after I'm not sure about but it does improve flow.
Original: the site to ask "What's the hold up?", this
Suggested: the site to ask, "What's the hold up?", this

Fabricated word? If it's a joke or something, it looks messy! What was Dev smoking?!
Original: Finally (and... aftmost?),

Under 'Software Update', the paragraph beginning with 'Just about every page'.
Spelling mistake.
wavey -> wavy

Under 'Relaunch' on first line
Spelling mistake.
Hearby -> Hereby

This is where I stop checking through the News page because I don't think it really matters. They're posted by Dev and Temp so they've got a margin of error. There are a few more but I give up. I'll leave the above suggestions there for now just in case you guys appreciate these points.

The top paragraph
occurences -> occurrences

Under 'Characters'
The dramatis personae; get to know each of the principal actors in the story.
Wording. I'm not sure if we should call our characters, 'actors'.

Part I
Another comma delimited error.
Original: We are introduced to Syne, Delloran, Enna, Cade, Rheya, Wallace, Benivalle, Dantalian, Hyde, and Kydran.
Suggested: We are introduced to Syne, Delloran, Enna, Cade, Rheya, Wallace, Benivalle, Dantalian, Hyde and Kydran.

Part II
And again...
Original: We are introduced to Ko, Brooke, Rush, Kory, Paerda, and Tyrus.
[/b]Suggested: [/b]We are introduced to Ko, Brooke, Rush, Kory, Paerda and Tyrus.

completely different setting, when the heir of
I think the comma isn't needed and the when should be a 'where'.
also: heir -> heiress

http://fateofio.org/game/characters
First paragraph. There is an unnecessary comma.
we follow their stories, and this section

Second paragraph. There is an entire word missing!
Original: controlled by player
Suggested: controlled by the player

Brooke's line. The poor girl is not a man! She isn't an heir, she's an heiress!

Intro paragraph. Unnecessary comma breaking the sentence up too much.
Original: distinct person, with believable
Suggested: distinct person with believable

Another 'and,' error. This is incorrect English language. You can't have a comma delimited list with the last object being listed with a comma AND a comma.
Original: believable motivations, histories, desires, and fears.
Suggested: believable motivations, histories, desires and fears.

Rush's line. Not sure if it's correct to the plot.
Rush, a knight-turned-nomad and Protector of an ancient code
Sure, he's a knight-turned-nomad but what ancient code is he following exactly? Upon clicking his profile and reading up on him, I find the only 'code' is to keep the war going for as long as possible. I'm not quite sure if this can be called a 'code' as such. He sure is a Protector, though =) I'm not quite sure how this can be amended.

Under locations. Two seperate words that ahve made into one word.
Original: as well as the smaller wartorn island of Kay Pacha.

Second Paragraph.
Another ', and' error. in a list or not, this comma doesn't belong.
entirely different reasons, and it can't be

Third paragraph
Redundant dash that has no use. In my opinion, I'd take both these dashes out.
Original: to create small- to medium-size
Suggested: to create small to medium sized

Second paragraph. There's a that/which mix up.

There are two more in the following, third paragraph.

Capitalisation. (this will not necessarily be in the game) -> This

Under 'Example Puzzle' there's yet more comma-and error. Just get shot of the commas. The bullet that starts with 'The people of Titan Continent'
Original 1: Antareans (despite Kydran being one), and probably
Original 2: no battle at all, and is not likely

http://www.fateofio.org/game/gameplay/interface
More which/that confusions.

Third paragraph.
Original: menu listing all of the actions which the selected character(s)

Last bullet.
Original: highlight "special" objects which can be manipulated?
Suggested: highlight "special" objects that can be manipulated?

Phew...!! I believe that's all of 'em right up to the very end of 'The Game'. I haven't gone deep intot he sub-sub-nodes. I'll start that another day. This took me an entire day. That's most of 9 hours of proof reading and so I shall go now and relax my mind with a bit of MMORPG =)

The sad thing is, I could probably finish all the proof reading before somebody notices activity... *waves*

I understand a lot of my suggestions for change were very petty but I had a perfectionist English teacher in school and was probably taught a little different to you guys in the states. GCSE perfectionist tutors have a knack for hammering habits and standards into your head in school!

The habit of swapping 'which; with 'that' came from when I used MS Word in college and it does not like the use of 'which'. A horrible Microsoft spawned habit I probably should shake.

Despite the technical reasons for most of my suggested changes, I mostly wanted to dissect the site in such detail in order to regain some activity in the site. Show somebody out here in Britain is still willing to put the work in =)

I also probably feel like I've lost a lot of respect in you guys, and it's obvious with Temp he makes it clear. I probably acted like a kid a lot of the time but I'm 20 for Pete's sake! A lot of you probably think I'm much younger >_<

I suppose now a lot of the proof reading I do will be easier knowing I won't have to pull everything apart in such meticulous fashion.

Sorry if you took offence to the perhaps demeaning myriad of pedantic suggestions.
