FYI: Issue with 524_rules_values_notes.sql
Just letting people know about this issue with this SVN file. Apostrophes are used to denote certain values which is fine if apostrophes weren't also used through out the file to show ownership (like Wizard's, Warrior's, etc) or conjunctions (and, weren't, aren't, you're) and it's going to cause SQL Syntax errors.
Code:
UPDATE `rule_values` SET notes = 'ms time until a player corpse is moved to a zone's graveyard:if one is specified for the zone' WHERE rule_name = 'Zone: GraveyardTimeMS';

Wasn't there supposed to be a "/" in front of apostrophes?

Like so?

Damn no edit button.
It's supposed to be:

Ah, I see.
I would use it, only there hasn't been any newer binaries posted since Rev497. :( For those that can't compile the sources like me, we're pretty much stuck with what ever version is posted.
Can someone upload the newest binaries? I mean, come on. It's almost 40 revs behind. If there were nightly compiles available, that would be most awesome.
Please?

I don't mean to be the grammar nazi here but I had to edit out so many of these it's unreal...
Just as an FYI:
When you are trying to concatenate 2 words together you use an apostrophe.
For example: It's = It Is (it combines 2 words into one)
When you are trying to make a word plural (more than one) you use it without.
For example: zone = zones (more than one)
It is not: zone's (that would equal zone is) such as is done in so many places in the database descriptions.
Sorry it just kinda grates on my grammar nerves.

We shouldn't be using apostrophes in descriptions anyway, unless they are terminated properly. I can't count the number of times a rogue apostrophe, comma, or exclamation point has messed up a query I ran. In cavedude's perfect world all strings would be lowercase using only periods.

Yes, I get your point. In fact, what makes it hysterical goes along with what lerxst2112 already pointed out.
You both are responsible for the coffee projecting from my nose.
