Your life is a shadow from a person who pretends to be other people but is scared of his job on the stage and then hides away; it is a story with lots of tiny important facts that doesn't mean anything to anyone.

Moderators work together and use their best judgment in each situation. If these rules are broken, any member of staff may hand out a fair punishment, e.g., removing content, issuing a warning etc. Harsher punishment (such as a ban) may be used when there is a severe or repeated offense. 

Example: Arguing with another member is likely to result in posts being removed and a personal message or warning being given. Continuing to argue, or harassing another member (either publicly or via personal message), is likely to result in infractions, posting restrictions or a temporary ban.

Take-Two provides a space for the community to share ideas, opinions and feelings. While we do encourage healthy and constructive debates, please remember to follow the rules, keep it in good taste and always be respectful. You don't go to your friend's house and start smashing their windows, so don't do something equally offensive in ours.

These rules may be changed at any time and it is each member's responsibility to keep up to date.

The police here work together and do the best they can to decide what to do every time something bad happens. If anybody breaks the law, any one of the police can get that person in trouble by taking away stuff they wrote, giving them a good telling off, and so on. The police can be even more mean (like kicking the bad people out) if the person is really very bad or just keeps on breaking the law over and over again.

Like, if someone fights with another person, they will probably get stuff they wrote removed, and a message will be sent to them, or they'll get a telling off. If they carry on fighting anyway or are really mean to someone else (in front of everyone or just quietly between them), they are probably going to get a really big telling off, might not be able to write anymore for a while, or they could get kicked out for a while.

Take-Two makes this place open for their friends to share ideas, thoughts and feelings. Even though we do want people to talk and say they don't agree with each other in a nice way, please remember not to break the law, keep it nice, and be kind to each other. You don't go to your friend's house and start breaking their windows, so don't come in here and do something just as bad, OK? These laws might change at any time, so you all have to read them every day.

The fields of medicine (particularly veterinary) and zoology often distinguish a poison from a toxin, and from a venom. Toxins are poisons produced by organisms in nature, and venoms are toxins injected by a bite or sting (this is exclusive to animals). The difference between venom and other poisons is the delivery method.

I agree, but that's not how this game works. You're supposed to translate the previous post into words that are approved by the tool provided in the link, then give your own text for someone else to translate.

Here is the latest text waiting for translation:

oh wait no I didn’t see that.

lemme try again 

The people who study the things that make people not sick when they are sick, and the people who study animals show the ways that three things that can make you very sick are different. One is made by animals by themselves, and another is put into you by biting or something else. The way that this one is different is the way it is put into you.

(is that right)

There is a fun game with little green men. The game is a good and fun way to learn how to fall without hitting the ground. I think everyone should play it.

make yourself smarter at telling people what to do, especially being nicer, being better at coming up with stuff that other people didn’t do (I cannot find anything for phrasing creativity, rip) and stopping people from being mean to each other.

show how good you are at telling people what to doand your thoughts about telling people what to do by studying yourself.

The current coronavirus pandemic/outbreak is bad, but we can all help by exercising personal hygiene (e.g. washing hands more often), staying at least two meters away from each other at all times (to avoid personal contact which can spread COVID), and always wearing a face mask to avoid breathing on each other and breathing air which could contain COVID.

Stay safe!

It's bad that everyone is getting the Big Sick, but we can all help by doing things to keep clean. To keep clean, you can wash your hands with dirt-remove bars. You should also keep Big Bird's wings between you and anyone near you, because the Big Sick can't jump that far. Always have a shirt or pants in front of your mouth so that you don't breathe on your friend, and your friend should not breathe on breathe on you, because you might get the Big Sick.
Continue being safe!

This new girl is really crazy about board games and space. She was really young when she became interested in computers and space, and it was because she liked the really well-known people, like the first woman to ever fly to space, that she got interested in stuff like that. So she went to school to study computers, and she studied a whole lot about earth and space, so the school gave her a bit of paper that said she was good at it. Soon after that, she was asked to join the most well-known space company in the whole world, where people would quickly see she was really really great at making games. Since she is also really interested in talking about good ideas, she helps out teaching visitors to the space company.

Hey all, small update for you all today:

Firstly, we're excited to announce that community-favorite and infamous bug reporter @Anth will officially be joining the Intercept Games team on Monday! His community contributions since launch have been incredibly helpful so we just knew we had to bring him aboard as our new QA Tester! You can expect to see a slight reduction in public bug reports from Anth, but we know that he'll be logging dozens internally from day one and we're ready for it. Considering Anth's contributions to the K.E.R.B. so far, we do expect him to continue to be a critical part of our public bug status updates - just now from the dev side!
