Ok, got a couple questions about credits. I've posted the screen capture:



1. For the "elders" part, should the "e" be capitalized or do I enter as I see it since the first part of the credits are capitalized? Reading the rules, I would assume now it's with a lower case "e"...
1b. Also, it would be "Elder" or "elder", correct?

2. Do I add a blank group divider between the two? Again, I doubt I should but thought I would ask anyway.


Not to confuse things as I don't want people to misread my second question, but wanted to note that I know each of the "elders" is credited as such and not under as a group divider. Just wanted to note if a blank group divider should be included at all.


Edit 2:
I went further down the credits and there are two more groupings which might lend to adding blank dividers:

1)  I would simply enter it as "elders" since that is what appears on screen.  No capital, no elimination of the s.

2)  I would not enter a blank divider - but I object to them, so that's my personal opinion.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

1. I don't know what to say about the capitalization... I would probably do it lower case to match credits exactly

1b. Per Rules (exactly as credited) No... Elder/Elder wouldn't be right... it would have to be elders (plural)

2. IMO... No divider in credits... so no divider in profiler. I never use dividers for spaces... never noticed it being done before... and must say if I did see it I would vote no to it.

Ok, thanks.

What about Sacrificed Children? Would that be credited as such as well?

Heheh, I'm wondering if the person responsible for the end credits crawl is secretly a Profiler-head who hates group partitions!  It just popped into my head because that's how our credits used to look.

I agree with Pete on all counts.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Typos and case errors in overview and roles stay.
I've seen a few updates recently that are nothing more than chaging caps to lower case in roles. Make em match, but everyone hates blank dividers, so ignore those.
