New Messages On Central?
"Marquis WhiteCrow has defeated his master, Unélith to advance to level 6 when he was 7 days old!!"
What's with the new messages on central? how can I defeat anyone being only seven days old?  Read your bio on central, everyone - it's kind of funny.

I had to change the messages to deal with translation.
the '1st', '2nd', etc didn't work very well for translating.

I've changed the messages to what I hope is now better.
However, my new ones could be certainly interpreted by someone who didn't understand the game the same was as jrminga commented on. However, I'm not gonna futz with it any more at this point.

The text and variable replacements were awkward in different languages, and rewording the message to be easier for the translation tools was the simplest solution.

the old messages did things like
on their 1st day. This is all well and good, but wasn't very translateable with replacement. So either we had to not translate that, or we had to translate the sentance completely for every different value. This obviously wasn't a good solution, so I went for a wording where the number was just that and not an ordinal and thus could be substituted in giving the desired translatability.

Ah, I see. I didn't get the whole "how could I defeat anyone being seven days old" thing
I get the uh...joke now. Maybe it could say "Marquis WhiteCrow has defeated his master, Unélith to advance to level 6 after 7 days of adventuring!!"
