Pad Seayew Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Would love to see Niels style incorporated into the UI design. I adore those old fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Terkildsen Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm not sure it would be user friendly if half (or more) of the player base mistakes s for f... I look forward to see what the developers come up with in terms of the UI - hopefully it will be both functional and immersive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Seayew Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I was actually going to mention that, just ditch the 's' as 'f'. An unnecessarily confusing antiquation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Terkildsen Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm contemplating putting together one or two new issues of this newspaper, seeing as things have picked up a bit again - which I wish to encourage by providing some fluff, so to speak. To help me with this, I encourage anyone that is in possession of relevant news, information, opinions, &c that could be conveyed in this humble newspaper, to contact me. Other contributions could be in the form of poetry, as well as satire, &c. I'd also encourage business-men within the proximity of the Danish American Islands to submit advertisements of any sort, be it requests or offers. All of this can be sent by private mail, or delivered personally to me, Niels Terkildsen, Queen-Street, Christiansted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobby Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Nice, love the old newspaper style. Just wanted to say though that the 'long s' ,or 'f without crossbar', is only ever used when in the middle of a word. Never when it's the first or last letter of a word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that the ſ (long s) was used both in the beginning and the middle of words, the exceptions being, obviously, when capitalising, and sometimes in compounds and the like - words such as successful where it may be written "ſucceſsful" (where the first part is ſucceſs, and that is how you write double-s when in the ending of words). Example: 28 minutes ago, The Red Duke said: Only British used it afaik. Also it is lovely to read the Prussians in the leewards as Ruffians It was also used in a similar manner (with slightly different rules) in fraktur (in Germany and Denmark for example). Ruffians is glorious indeed ^^ EDIT: See the issue from Friday the 23rd of September for actual use of Ruſſians under the headline: "Pirate Aggression".

Knobby Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ah yes you are right. I'm sure it's not used at the end though, but i must have been mistaken about the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
