One might even extend this proof to World of Warcraft, too. Most unplayed game!

Maybe Machaka have a specific type of sorcerer they call a sorceror? ;)

Also my first thought. But...

@lch...The presence of a blatant misspelling isn't the proof. The proof is that this blatant misspelling is in THIS game, with its passionately devoted/loving developers and its insanely nitpicky/whining followers, would have been quickly corrected long ago if anyone had noticed. :)

I think Ich was trying to show that 'sorceror' is an acceptable alternative spelling, rather than a blatant misspelling.

I wouldn't call it an acceptable alternative, I'm just hardly convinced that a typo in the game is any kind of "proof" about users not playing a nation. Nobody cares about a typo like that. From personal expectations, I'd say that maybe Agartha would be the least played nation by most people - who wants to play a nation of mutated earthworms? - or EA R'lyeh or so.

cleveland, in case you haven't noticed, there's a thread about in-game typos. There's stuff in there that hasn't been touched for over a year, have a look at my repost of things from page two a while ago.

Anyway, good news on the Machaka front, KO is playing the nation in MP, Asia Twist. So hopefully plenty of, 'goodies' in a future patch! If we are really good, perhaps a Ea and La Machaka as well?!?

Go, go spiders...

Of course I wasn't really trying to prove anything. Hyperbole, and whatnot.

I just felt so bad for poor Machaka when I realized that nobody cared enough about him to even notice his TITLE was misspelled - perhaps not a good olde fashioned misspelling (see here) - but certainly inconsistent with the game's own conventions.

Truth be told, I like the little devils. Strat move 3, spiders everywhere, fireballs from the sky. Cool stuff. But still chosen last in the all-MA nations game I organized. Who knows, maybe fixing their title will give them a confidence boost (or at least correct their identity crisis). :D

I have noticed, but I felt this was such an egregious oversight that it deserved special attention. ;)

Really?

Since you don't have to be playing Machaka to see that text, I'd say all you've done is prove that there is nobody who reads the complete nation titles. :) Or else they just have a laid-back attitude about typos in a Swedish game. I'm not sure which category I fall into, maybe both. For instance, I love LA Agartha and EA C'tis but I couldn't tell you what their Era titles are.

Mutated earthworms? Hmmm. Pale, one-eyed amphibious giants. I think you're probably right! Who'da thunk it? Agarthans *are* earthworms!
