I think I know what might be the problem.
Which page are you looking at? There are currently two versions online. One is saved on my Oxford server space (users.ox.ac.uk/~trin1035.....)
the other on my angelfire account (angelfire.com/games5/gmwippo....).
Since I am going to loose the Oxford wbespace I have set up the second site which I am updating now and which you get to if you click on the link in the Kaobase. However the old page is still there and if you have bookmarked it that might explain why the page does not appear to be updated.

Korexus has asked for a 24h extension because he is "stuck on a very little island with a slow internet connection."
When I was in England the internet connections were not that bad but he can have his extension.
New deadline is monday 24th 1pm GMT.

I know I got the "am Start" part wrong and the rest is guesswork but like I said it would be fun if I was right.

Even if my translation is wrong it's at least funny. "My buddy has a little bit of grass to begin with, therefor tonight will be fun."

My....hmmm Kumpel??...eee...Kum?...Compell?...Couple, yes that must be it. Ok, hat, that was easy, nen?...need maybe bisschen is "a bit".
So far so good, "grass" easy piecy, am Start? "to start" probably. Also must be also. Xarfei probably didnt know the german word for that. I do that mistake all the time. It will be a funny sentence due to it so I'll add "it" right after it. wirds......"were"? Yeah that must be it. What do we have left. "heut Abend lustig" heut must be "hot"....lustig could have something to do with "lust"....hm lusty? strange word. I'll go with sexy.
*looks at what he has got*
I'll switch were to was.
The proper translation would be:
"My couples hat needs a bit of grass to start. Also it was hot and sexy."
You are strange X. What hat? How does a hat "start"?

Fredo got pretty close. Kumpel = buddy, mate etc. "Am Start" is a slang expression. "Am Start" (i.e. at the start (start as opposed to the finish)) basically means that you have something ready to be used.Xarfei wrote:PS:Mein Kumpel hat 'nen bisschen Gras am Start also wirds heut Abend lustig (anyone who manages to translate this must truely have some german language skillz).
So the first part of the sentence translates as "My mate has got some grass ready to be used".
"Also" is a german word that has a slightly differenet meaning than the english "also". The german "also" translates as "so" or "therefore". "wirds" is short for "wird es" (it will be). Abend=evening and lustig=jolly, fun, etc.
Hence the whole sentence translates as:
"My mate has got some grass ready to be used, therefore it will be a fun evening".
It was.

I was way off on a few things there. To my defence I wrote that straight out of bed after a night of crying children with fever.
I still remember A O U Å as mjuka so I guess some stuff has "fallen out".

From this we can see that Undertaker had the most active Magicians (26 spells + potions) followe by Shakira (24), Allister (22) and Grave Maker (20).
Shakira was the "meanest" player since she casted 8 Red spells on others, whereas Undertaker was the most evil (3 Black spells).
Allister turned out to be the greates Creature Lover (6 potions) followed by Shakira (4).
By far the biggest target of the game was Grave Maker: 20 out of 38 used Black+Red spells were cast on him, which is more than 50%!
