"Bn_Kleenex: I don't remember the companies exactly.. they profiled a few different companies..
the report was on companies in general leaning toward online research for "background checks" on interview candidates.
It was on Dateline, or Primetime or one of those news shows.
"
Hehehe you might want to check out WHY they got to those shows  Especially Dateline, which more often than not, do NOT show companies that are "good".
"
From the companies perspective, I would probably like to research my candidates as well.. I would not want to hire someone who makes it a point to talk about how trashed they get every night, their illegal drug use, and how they like to break many laws for fun. Same if they use very profane language constantly throughout their profiles and messages. I don't feel that type of individual would have a place at my company. A lot of how a person leads their personal life ties directly into their performance at work. "
That's a BIG jump from using "u" instead of "you"
Even not taking into account any illegal activities (anywhere from illegal drugs, theft, assault, etc) as they are more often than not grounds for not only non acceptance of an application, but also of termination, the rest of what you pointed as example should not have any basis on a decision to hire someone, as long as they do not affect job performance.
Hell, my first out of college job was in an accounting firm - suit and tie kind of place. Very very professional. But gawd, when tax season over, last one to get drunk didnt try hard enough  Play hard, work hard, was their motto.

Getting back on topic:
For the next release, might I suggest that you correct the typo in the IDs for imbued items:
[Tings] [Slash Render ] Ivory Slashing Baton(7) SB [3]
The correct term is Rend, not "render".
And I'm wondering if you have any plans to put this into an .msi installation package, rather than having folks unzip into a folder and use the "Add" button in DenAgent. This seems to be causing some problems/confusion for non-computer-savvy individuals.

LingMei,
Always open to nicely worded suggestions such as yours. ( hehe u'rs ).
"Rend vs Render" honestly not thought about that.
Rending is the way its worded IG( ie "Slash Rending"  .
So Rend is correct.
Ok I just change it to Rend. ty.
Installer I may do. Time and finding what I have to generate one is issue atm.

I agree with Drakier to some extent, in that an on line search to give some insight into the personality of a potential employee can be very useful. Who wants to end up throwing away hard cash and going through employment litigation because you made a mistake employing an idiot, leaving aside the potential damage to your business.
BTW, the English language is constantly evolving and we shouldn't get too pedantic about it but slang has its place as long as your audience can understand it. In my case, I very often don't.

Rend or Rending, both would be correct in the context, I believe. Personal preference I guess, I was just thinking to save you time, and to free up chat characters, Rend would be shorter

Yup shorter is important as long as it does not get to cryptic.
I had considered CR,BR,..,LR but thought it should have more letters since
most toons are making a living ( err leveling) from them.

Bn_Kleenex: The point wasn't whether you agree with it or not.. the point was that companies do it, and that you can no longer really "hide" on the internet. The main point was that online persona and actions now have real life consequences.
That's why I attempt to maintain a sense of professionalism as much as possible online and offline. You never know when something stupid you post or say could come back and haunt you.

Amazing how off topic Drakier's posts are.
Stick to the subject of the plugin here.
Mr.Flipo,
I really do appreciate your hard work your putting into this. It's a great plugin.
