| **Hint:** Seeing as the box for the description isn't //that// big, it's a good idea to type it out in a text editor first, then copy and paste. That way, when you make mistakes, they're a lot easier to find and correct, and there's much less chance of accidentally losing them. | **Hint:** Seeing as the box for the description isn't //that// big, it's a good idea to type it out in a text editor first, then copy and paste.

| <note important>**BLOODY BIG WARNING:** Notice that I said //text editors// ((such as Notepad or Notepad++)) not //word processors// ((such as Word or WordPad or TextEdit)). There's a very good reason for this. Word processors use clever tricks for things like ellipses and other special symbols. These tricks aren't known to the game engine which looks after all the different Place descriptions. Funny things will happen, ranging from getting strange symbols in the middle of your writing up to //totally shafting// your Place. ((This last did in fact happen on one memorable occasion, to every Place (Or Dwellings as they were back then) on the Island that had a single strange symbol in it. See the Cataclysm thread! ((CSODAS SEE IF THIS IS RECOVERABLE))))</note> | |

| **Pro tip:** If you'd like to display out the player's name or weapon, type in, instead of a name or name of a weapon, "[pcName]"((Pay careful attention to the capital 'N'. This is case sensitive.)) or "`w"((That's a grave mark, like in color codes)), respectively. Those phrases should turn into the name and weapon of the contestant who views them. | **Pro tip:** If you'd like to display out the player's name or weapon, type in, instead of a name or name of a weapon, "[pcName]"((Pay careful attention to the capital 'N'.
