I'm probably the only one who cares about this but:

"Through September 8th, 2013, all battle sprites purchased from the Supply Depot will be sold at a 10% discount."

The sprites are 1900 CE

If 1900 CE = 90% then 190/9 = 1%

Therefore battle sprite are 19000/9 CE or about 2111.111111... repeating. you can't pay 1/9th a ce. >n<

If battle sprites are 2000 ce then they are discounted 5%. If they are 2100 then they are discounted 9.523809523...% repeating.

They could be rounding it,

They could be rounding it, I'm pretty sure 10% is a lot easier to say than
"...will be sold at a 9.523% discount."

Same implies to older prize box promotions where all the percentages sum up to a nice 101.5%.

@Flameshadowz

That's not how 10% discounts work.

1900 x 10/9

not

1900 x 11/10

Also, is it bad that I first mistook Sir-Wuddle for Orbwanter?

Now I want to see after the discount the Battle Sprites having a ce cost of 2110 just to be uneven to the hundreds place.
