Shouldn't be a comma after containing as well.

That was me. You can't copy and paste the text as it is a tooltip. When you move your mouse away from the activation point the tooltip disappears.

I don't know if this is a type, but when reading the cost table for the workshop, I cannot see the time it takes to level it up. Can the table be minimized or the font be shrunk?

"If a caster tries to cast a card with NoPirate on a pirate, then he will get an error message and no vooodoo or turns will be consumed."

Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... n=nopirate
Spelled as vooodoo instead of voodoo.

------------------------
"For example, Avenge 5 multiples any effect described by the card, by 5."

Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... ion=avenge

Not a typo, but a grammar check: I think it should say, "For example, Avenge 5 multiplies any effect, described by the card, by 5."
------------------------
"NoFail ignores defenses (ie Mindbar,Countercurse etc)."

Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... ion=nofail

Not a typo, but a grammar check: I think it should say, "NoFail ignores defenses (ie Mindbar, Countercurse, etc.)"
------------------------
"All Artifacts are NoFail except stated otherwise."

Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... ion=nofail
Not a typo, but adverb confusion. I think it should say, "All Artifacts are NoFail except when stated otherwise." The previous makes 'stated otherwise' look like the exception and not the cards that actually state otherwise. Makes 'stated otherwise' look like an object.
------------------------
"Every voodoo card needs turns in order to be casted."
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview
Casted is an old form. Examples are easily found in texts from every century from the 14th to the present—but it has given way to cast in modern English.
------------------------
"(Witch Hut) - Obtain new Voodoo cards (through credits)"
"(Market) - Trade/Exchange Voodoo cards with other players (through an auction/bidding system)"
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview

Both of these are not complete sentences, as they do not end in a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. These should end as (through credits.) and (auction/bidding system.)
------------------------
"(Voodoo log) -Keep"
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview

This does not match the (word) - Start format you have set for the previous points. It should be "(Voodoo log) - Keep" instead.
------------------------
"You can currently obtain cards with the following (3) Ways:"
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview

"Ways" does not need to be capitalized, as it is not a proper noun or a start of a sentence.
------------------------
"Typically 5 a day)"
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview

Should end in a period, as this is an incomplete thought, or this can be combined with the previous sentence. Could be rewritten to say, "(Win up to 4 presents on your own + whatever presents other players will send you, which will add up to 5 a day typically.)"
------------------------
"Through Credits at the Witch Hut"
"Buy them with credits from other players at the market (Also read above)"
Under http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... e=overview

These should end in periods to match the rest of the format of this overview. After all, most of the bullet points end in periods.

I'm too lazy to talk about the rest this late at night, so I'll just repost more later.

All reported typos have been addressed. Thank you everyone.

For future reference, we use casted in PG. This issue has been brought many times before and we still use it as we prefer it. There are 35 instances of it so it should not be a big issue anyway.

When a player asks for a loan, the game sends a message to every banker with:
"Send him a loan offer now"
even if the player is set as a female.

(The him/her could be avoided by changing as like "Send a loan offer now", maybe)
Stay tuned on Radio Image Bermuda!

Are you a new player? Contact me in game and I'll cast a helping voodoo. Consider this like a sort of "tutorial mission".

Perhaps "them" would work better? Game rulebooks in hard books, usually use one kind of adjective (usually him, I suppose because males are most of the times the majority). It is kind of disturbing. Luckily, here we can use the registered gender and produce the relevant message. However, how about when we create a help file? Use of him/her is not good. Would "them" work?

If it's not a big change, yes using the registered gender would be great.
Send him a loan offer or Send her a loan offer, depending on the player profile, if it's set as a he or a she.
I'd prefer not to use them .

Yes English sometimes uses the male form, other languages do the same (or sometimes twist the sentence in funny ways in order to avoid any sex reference :D )
PG is kind of unique in this, and it is a plus of the game.

Oh, I checked this

I am putting this under Typo as I believe it is more of a typo:

So with Confuse and the Avenge capability it reads:

First off Multiplied is missing the "I" and casted is suppose to be "cast"

"You have selected Confuse
Card ability found: Avenge
If target player has casted more than 2 voodoo against you in last 24 hours, effect is multipled."

But my real issue is, the avenge only works if the player has two cards affect you. I had a player cast 48 times at me and only 1 flood was able to break my barriers, so I cast confuse on them and it was only for 24 hours, it did not give me the avenge capabilities. The wording needs to be changed if it is really for 2 successful cast and failed attempts are not accounted for.

Also sorry if this is repeated.
