the object of round 2 is to test your precission and dedication to that precission.
Until this friday your task will be to find, and correct any errors on the main shop page.

the task is simple, but in order to spice it up, the scoring will be a little more...entertaining.

each error may only be reported once. to that means only one person can recieve a point per each error.
but, if you wait and report multiple, unreported errors all at once, you'll recieve an exponential amount of points.
(so 1 error in 1 report earns 1 point, but 2 errors in 1 report earns 4 points (3=9 etc.) but you'll only earn the exponential points if all of the errors are unreported.
so you'll have to decide how, and when to report. because your competitor might just yank the points out from under you!

now, what exactly is an error?
incorrect pricing : maybe there are too few zeros, or too many.
spelling
LACK OF RESPONSE

the last one is ESPECIALLY hainus. so if someone posts a question on the main shop page, or the suggestions box, take a stab at replying, and report (if the response is suitable, you can earn bonus points)

well thats about it. gl to you and your competitors.

wing out!

EDIT: whether you post her or pm me the error report. make sure to copy paste the line before and after the error. that way I can see where it came from

not sure, but might have found a few

at the top at currency it says ce is 74 cr per, but when you go down to about SKBS it says 100 ce is 6700cr to 7000cr
and also in that place it says CER not CE
Also, you list all stranger hats twice, once in stranger hats and once on the shade. Don't know if this is mistake or on purpose.
As well, on the error in your favor part, it says one TWO many zeros, that should bee one too many zeros

Thanks

Found One?

Mounted in 'Helm-Mounted Display' should be capitalized according to wiki.

Alright In brokering with

Alright

In brokering with SKBS section, the "you're" in the section should be "your" (in the parenthesis)
in the same section, the opening "its" should be "it's"
in the same section, honesty should be honestly

in the rewards program,

"theres some free crowns in it for you!" needs to be "there's"

there's the first batch of typographical errors

Bobomasters-Alt

second batch

capitalization errors will be in a separate section

in the selling section,
"Ill reply with my offer" needs an apostrophe (I'll)
"if you find an item who's price" should be "whose price"; who's is a contraction for who is

how to order section,

"Ill confirm if the items in stock and if so Ill include the items current price(locked in applies)" needs "I'll"
"Unless you send me apm via Uplink (its<<< the 4th button from the left of the five buttons at the top left hand portion of the screen when you're playing SKs. (its<<< got an envelope on it), you run the risk of missing a lock in!" both of the its should be "it's" (contraction for it is)
"when im doing price updates" needs "I'm"

CAPITALIZATION ERRORS

oh boy
*breathes in*
here we go

"don't worry about the mailing fee, you'll be making plenty of crowns soon enough" capitalize Don't
also you either need a semicolon (;) or use a conjunction (put an "as" after the comma) for a complete sentence

"a few notes : the pm is so that OOO has an actual record in their system of the transaction, so you have that security, and I have the security of a backup message, so Ill be able to respond easily, and by respond, I mean send you all the crowns you'll be earning!" the "a" probably needs to be capitalized if you want that to be a valid sentence

"and we'll go from there." needs a capital And, or you can use a comma in the previous line (second option is better as its more grammatically correct)

"just so you know what to expect." needs capital Just

"(that means you'll earn 25% more brokering than outright selling to skbs" has no ending parenthesis, also formally parenthesis need to go inside sentences but I'll let it slide, (SKBS is also lowercase in this case)

"well thanks for looking us up!" capital Well, you should have a comma after it also

"i will be awarding shares in SKBS for various reasons" capital I

"these shares will earn you all sorts of goodies" capital These

"if you find an item who's price seems to have one two" capital If

"good luck hunting" should have capital Good, but it's still okay if you don't

"For If you just want to get rid of your items and you don't really care how much Cr you're going to get for them." lowercase if

"Last but not least; this is where you can find out all our nifty promotional programs!" improper use of semicolon, you should use a colon (:), as last but not least is not a complete thought

"check out the skbs feedback box" should be SKBS

"well, thats about it." capital Well, that's should be a apostrophe

whew
there's your second batch

"send me a friend request

"send me a friend request with the name of the item you would like to buy as the reason" Needs capital 'S' in 'send', 'as' should be changed to 'and', there should be a period at the end (maybe not).

"a few notes" needs a captial 'A.'

"If I am gifted an Item off my wishlist, instead of taking the shares, you can instead earn your guild 10% off all purchases with SKBS!" The word 'item' needs a lowercase 'i'.

"I send you the Item(s)" needs a lowercase 'i' in 'items,' not uppercase.

More later, possibly.

My corrections are in parentheses

In person
send me a friend request with the name of the item you would like to buy as the reason
I'll accept and reply via pm with the current price(locked in from the time you sent the friend request)
join me (needs capital J)
trade <- this is when you'd make a referral (capital T)
and you're all set! (capital A)

By mail
send me a pm with the name of the item you would like to buy in the title ( capital S)
Ill confirm if the items in stock and if so Ill include the items current price(locked in applies) (I'll)
Send me the necessary Cr <- this is when you'd make a referral
I send you the Item(s) (no capital I) (I,ll)
and we're all set! (capital A)

a few notes : the pm is so that OOO has an actual record in their system of the transaction, so you have that security, and I have the security of a backup message, so Ill be able to respond easily, and by respond, I mean send you all the crowns you'll be earning! (Capital A)

- oh and being a client has its perks, since their points only expire when I sell all of their items, and if I decide they weren't a good client. (capital O)

What SKBS Has For Sale - This is where you'll want to go if you're looking for a hard to find accessory or costume; it's where our selling list is posted, naturally! ( no capital H)

I typically offer 35% under what I sell the items for. just so you know what to expect.( capital J)

(Wishlist should be two words)

In the dragon wing section 3 out of 4 are selling for106.5, but the dusky is selling for 67k
