@Mystic Phoenix:
No, I wanted to say:
"Someone (from the judges) cheating out there" - they are responsible from count or not these worlds.
They do a great job
I know - reading all these words, counting them and do not become insane/crazy - I don't know if I can hold out something that.
Seals - Are they ever somehow in focus?
IIRC there was Archibald's seal in MM7 manual (his diary) and Gauldoth (I never can remember how his name is spelling) mention something about lack of his "royal" seal in his campaign (when he send letter to Emilia about Great Arcans/Necross borders).
And of course MM7 two quests - delive letters (with seals on them).

Niece - still too general
Someone hasn't been playing Dark Messiah much :-D
It really isn't too general.
Cleanse - Spell's name is "Cleansing"
Not according to your guide :D
(Just kidding :) )
Vehicles - No
Eh? :S
Okay then :)
Caste(s) - Can't remember any, further input?

Druid (upgrade: Druid Elder)
"As such they have access to the secrets kept within their caste."
As a quick example.



My favorite contest so far :)

Sails/Veins: one comes across veins of ore in MM7, which is why it's accepted. I know no quest or similar involving sails, which is why it wasn't.
In H4 elf lovers campaign (last map IIRC) you had to chose the right-coloured sails for your trip to home. Wrong sails lead to failed mission if i am not mistaken.

Spot on!
Leech: is a noun. ("Leeches"- one can see the spell as a leech).
I beg to differ. "Mana" is a noun, "leech" is a verb.

m-w.com:
Main Entry: leech
Function: verb
transitive verb
1 : to bleed by the use of leeches
2 : to drain the substance of : EXHAUST
intransitive verb : to attach oneself to a person as a leech
Main Entry: leech
Pronunciation: 'lEch
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English leche, from Old English l[AE]ce; akin to Old High German lAhhi physician
1 archaic : PHYSICIAN, SURGEON
2 [from its former use by physicians for bleeding patients] : any of numerous carnivorous or bloodsucking usually freshwater annelid worms (class Hirudinea) that have typically a flattened lanceolate segmented body with a sucker at each end
3 : a hanger-on who seeks advantage or gain
synonym see PARASITE

Like I said, don't go to much into detail and don't take it too seriously. Endless discussions about the one or other term lead us no further.

Tust the judges... they know what they do.

I have seen contests where perpetual nagging annoys the organisers so much that they stop the contest.

We all trust the judges, but hey, they said themselves to correct them if we spot anything :hoo:
