Petition ID 643: Outdated flavour text: Ferryman refers to "Disgrace", not "Failboat
Submitted Wed, 04 Apr 12 06:12:34 +0000

Flavour text copypasta:
----------------------------------
Something Improbable!
The Requisition tokens echo loudly as they fall into the cup. The ferryman reaches out to a long pole. Bony fingers grasp the pole and drive it deep into the water. The ferry pushes off across the river.

About halfway across, the ferryman turns to you. You see green glowing eyes shining from within the hood, and recall stories about the Jokers, an insane and unpredictable race of beings that were once men, but are now suffused with Improbability.

A dense fog rolls in out of nowhere and envelops the boat.The ferryman, smiling, removes his hood. The twisted, ever-shifting features of a Joker stare back at you.You decide that it'd be better not to fight, or even show alarm; Jokers are extremely unpredictable. Instead, you keep your seat and sit quietly.As the ferryman steers toward the shore, you notice a figure standing there.You suddenly realize that you have been ferried, impossibly, to Disgrace!

The Watcher bids you welcome and seems pleased with your arrival.

Because you have been transported to Disgrace while conscious, you still have your Requisition tokens.

-----------------------
Along the lines of petitions 617 and 620, I'm reporting that this refers to "Disgrace" instead of "the Failboat".

Also, it mentions being ferried "toward the shore", and the Boat is not land!

And, being ferried "impossibly"? I would have expected that to be "Improbably"!

Finally, re petition 249: the spaces are missing between some of the sentences. They are all in paragraph 3: between sentences 1-2 (boat.The) 3-4 (you.You), 5-6 (quietly.As) and 6-7 (there.You).
