Definitive, irrefutable proof that Machaka is the most unplayed nation in the game.

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.

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

I always assumed that they were mutated cave salamanders. Slap an eyepatch on an Axolotl and you've pretty much got an Agarthan right there.

If we're talking about Olms here, then I'll agree.

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).

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