...I can't help but notice, when it came time to cast my vote for the heroes this week, that some of the bios were let down (in my opinion) by some errors that crept in, typos, sentence structure and punctuation.



Particularly evident for me was Shalandra's, e.g. : "she stole on of the most valueable Manuscripts", and the last sentence is strangely worded, "Even though being hunted by her outraged Sophon fellows her new life lets her feel free for the first time..." to me it feels more natural to say "even while being hunted"



I know it isn't a reason not to vote for her, but in the end, I didn't because my mind was grabbed not by the character but by the errors. My suggestion is just to make sure that, even if it is something submitted by the community, you make sure to check it for spelling, grammar and clarity - you whittled down all the choices to those 6, but didn't get the spelling correct.



I know some will judge as nitpicking, but far better to correct text problems now than when the game has been released!

Personally I don't think it's nitpicking. While I don't really care about grammar errors on the forum posts I would also like to have correct spelling in the things we vote for. I always try to keep my sentences free of errors, so in case of doubt I would even offer myself to do a little bit of fixing on community made things which make it into the votes.

Oh man that initial post... LoL

Though alpha tech support doesn't seem to be the right place to post errors which have to do with the votes, as they belong to G2G, but I suppose reposting the errors there couldn't hurt.

I deliberately avoided that post as this was specifically about the G2G voting. I apologise if that isn't the case, but I still think this is a slightly separate issue, and doesn't belong in the section about alpha errors.



Unless you mean, so that the erroneous bios don't get introduced into the game?



Additionally, I was more calling for generally overall better proofreading throughout
