h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A580961

this is a great entry...

a couple of grammatical type things i noticed:
*"One of the only games where players with a little extra padding is a good thing (i.e. a little softer rounder bunny).": this should read "where players with a little extra padding ARE a good thing" its a subject-verb agreement thing....

*"The two bunnies comfort." should be "bunnies'" its plural there...

again, this is a wonderful entry, i'm sure someone else will be along shortly to let you know some other points of view....

well done!

Thank you for your comments. I do believe you are right about the 'is' being changed to an 'are'. I am not sure about bunnies. I do believe it should be "The two bunny's comfort." Again thank you for the comments.

I like this, although I'm not a regular player. Just what does a love seat look like?

Unfortunately, I think it might not be suitable for the guide, as it seems to be a work of fiction - at least for the most of us.

Before writing an entry that you want edited, you might want to look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Writing-Guidelines (if you haven't already)

A love seat is a cross between a couch and a chair. A chair usualy has one cusion for you to sit on. A couch usualy has three. A love seat has two.

This was not meant to be a work of fiction, but is actualy a very real thing.

Like I said, I think it might not be suitable to be an edited entry - but lets get the opinion of other scouts - hey, that's the beauty of this system.

Alas I tend to agree, great enrty but maybe not what the guide is after.

We shall see what TPTB say.

ChawkE - Scout

TPTB?? - that's a new one on me

The powers That Be

ie Ashley at the moment.

Must go - need food and want to try and make a Snuggle Bunny later today, so need energy

ChawkE

I've been told elsewhere that I've got a warped sense of what should go in the Guide and what not but... I don't see why this one should be
rejected ?!

'Learning how to fly with Meditation' was kind of the same genre, and made it.

As to the main point: IMHO the Snuggle Bunny is a real thing, and hence no fiction. What if there was a latin name for it (compare with 'cunnilingus') ?

Let's see what Rome, err... the PTB have to say on that

Bossel (Scout)

I agree with Bossel.
It is not fictional and describes a real activity so therefore should stay.
By the way, what does IMHO mean, Bossel?
(Yes, I'm ignorant )

Oh, that's chat jargon: IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

I'll have to remember to use that then!

Well in the HO of TPTB Snuggle Bunnies, whilst being a bit sickly is a valid potential entry, all you need to do now is find a soppy enough Scout to recommend it

ChawkE

Well at least I have not been totally rejected. I see that my article has been called sickly though. How exactly do you mean that ChawkE? Is it something that I might be able to fix or does it have to do more with the subject?

is that a wee bit of bitterness i hear ChawkE?

Sickly!? No, not my opinion at all, just sort of quoteing what one of the PTB said, it would be wrong of me to say which one I believe I refered to it as "cute"

No it was IMHO a bit borderline, any "bitterness" stems from the rejection some time ago (before) PR came in, of my excellent entry on Quantum Life Momennts (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A186248) because it was viewed as a joke

ChawkE

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A186248 I think this is the link you tried to put up before ChawkE

hmmm, i can see where you're coming from with that... maybee try resubmitting? (although, if the TPTB smacked it down the first time, they may do so again.) imho its a pretty decent entry, but hey, I'm just a researcher...

Opps ta Tacsatduck, bit of mouse aim problem when cutting and pasting.

No, I'll not put it up, but anyone can put anything foward in PR, even if it isn't theirs
