Title: clan sic
Post by: xyblor on February 23, 2007, 07:16:39 am

There's a new clan starting up and everyone is invited!

It doesn't matter how good you are, or even what time zone you're in; all it takes to be a member of clan sic is a disdain for errors in spelling and grammar!

Here's how you join: just change your name to a word or phrase with incorrect spelling or grammar and add [sic] after the error. Your new name could be Tremulous related or not, but please don't use any colors. Here are some examples to get you started:

the Turrets [sic] (a classic)
I ate alot [sic]
better then [sic] you

To be editorially correct, you have to leave a space before the tag.

Currently, clan sic has no server, no teamspeak, no homepage, no forum, no organization, and no leader. It probably will never have any of those things. However, it is likely that in the near future two people who thought it would be funny to join will end up on the same server and say to one another:

- lol you joined clan sic to? [sic]
- ya! [sic]

and then the clan will have fulfilled it's purpose.

I hope you will all join this celebration of poor language skills!

Shouldn't it be "better than [sic] you"?
And is where does the name come from, is it from SiC in Quake 3?

Read this, it will help you to understand why he said "than" instead of "then"

I did, so is this a mockery of the Q3 clan that does the same thing with misspelling?

I had no idea there was already a clan using this idea in Quake; if I had, my efforts would have been in homage, not a mockery.

Yahoo: welcome aboard! I hope others will post their new names as well.
