Forum Rules Board Guidelines

1 - We ask that you do not insult, ridicule or threaten other posters, old or new that they may be. Also, please, do not spam :)

2 - We ask that whenever you wish to write about later parts of a game, you apply the spoiler tags to said text. Especially if it is something about the game's story, bosses, puzzles or items. In the help forums however, it is not required to use spoiler tags for anything except the game's story. Failure to do so may result in warning, suspension or banning; depending on the number of times this happened, the severity of the violation (such as describing the game's ending) and possible maliciousness of the violator. Alternatively, you may create a topic with the words *spoilers for "game(s) name"* in its title. That will exempt everybody from using spoiler tags in that thread for spoilers about said game. However know that said thread may not be modded, unless specifically requested for a violation of these rules.

3 - Due to the high level and frequency of malicious spam bots posting in the forum, registration is required to post replies in any of our forums.

Under the thing for AST, on the forums front page, why does it say Kodai no Sekiban, when the Japanese title is Inishie no Sekiban?
(Also, sorry for the nondescript title, I can't think of anything better).

It was ages ago when we opened the forums and at this time we thought "kodai" was the correct translation of the kanji. A japanese player told us later that the correct translation of the kanji is "Inishie" - we simply forgotten to change that in the forum description. So I changed it now. Thanks for telling this.

To be more specific, the reason it was read "Kodai" instead of "Inishie" is, basically, due to the lack of a pronunciation guide for reference. (To simplify, Japanese pronunciation rules are very different from English and other Roman-based languages, which could lead to situations where a word that reads out the same and has the same meaning is pronounced very differently - hence "Kodai" vs. "Inishie", which share the same Kanji and contextual definition.)

The forum only started hearing "Inishie" when, well, we got recordings of the original broadcasts.
