Want to be a Sentinel? (in General)

We have an opening in the clan from thursday until the 20th. Your character needs to be around 30K PR or so, you dont have to rotate or anything as it is a temporary position.

You'll need to bag about 2.5K cps daily and that's about it, you will hopefully be getting a permanent 15% bonus to rewards, plus if things go well your name will be top of the list if a permanent spot opens in the clans.

Just apply below or by chatmail, you will of course have to not be in a clan by thursday. Okay, thank you for your time.

Oh yeah and contrary to what recent posts have shown, the leader is not that unhinged.

Not to belabor a point, but its words like "you will hopefully be getting a permanent 15% bonus to rewards" that make SOV a target for other clans.

Bragging like that will always set you up for a fall.

Like right now, I spend about 20 BA's on SOV just so Battle Royale could be the number 1 clan, at least this hour.

Maybe you dont understand English, that isnt a boast... Go to dictionary.com, search for the word "hopefully" it might open your eyes to what that sentence meant.

hope·ful·ly ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hpf-l)
adv.

1.) With Hope; In a hopeful manner.

Usage Note: Writers who use hopefully as a sentence adverb, as in Hopefully the measures will be adopted, should be aware that the usage is unacceptable to many critics, including a large majority of the Usage Panel. It is not easy to explain why critics dislike this use of hopefully. The use is justified by analogy to similar uses of many other adverbs, as in Mercifully, the play was brief or Frankly, I have no use for your friend. And though this use of hopefully may have been a vogue word when it first gained currency back in the early 1960s, it has long since lost any hint of jargon or pretentiousness for the general reader. The wide acceptance of the usage reflects popular recognition of its usefulness; there is no precise substitute. Someone who says Hopefully, the treaty will be ratified makes a hopeful prediction about the fate of the treaty, whereas someone who says I hope (or We hope or It is hoped) the treaty will be ratified expresses a bald statement about what is desired. Only the latter could be continued with a clause such as but it isn't likely. ·It might have been expected, then, that the initial flurry of objections to hopefully would have subsided once the usage became well established. Instead, critics appear to have become more adamant in their opposition. In the 1969 Usage Panel survey, 44 percent of the Panel approved the usage, but this dropped to 27 percent in our 1986 survey. (By contrast, 60 percent in the latter survey accepted the comparable use of mercifully in the sentence Mercifully, the game ended before the opponents could add another touchdown to the lopsided score.) It is not the use of sentence adverbs per se that bothers the Panel; rather, the specific use of hopefully in this way has become a shibboleth.

2.) It is hoped

I understand English far better than you think. No need to get into my education. But that aside, from Dictionary.com:

Boast:
To speak of with excessive pride.

Is that not what your saying and how youve been acting about SOV?

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, darn, must be a duck.

I was a duck once for Halloween.

I don't see any bragging or boasting in this thread, although I do see someone stirring up unnecessary crap.
