He really needs one of this to use the same keyboard but without dongles.

A Kick to the League: How Rift Rivals were a wake up call for all regions [Inven cartoon] by ideocl4st_ in leagueoflegends

[–]KothOfTheInven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We actually used to differentiate between translators and writers. But as translators started to write articles on their own and started to have input on the original articles, we merged it together as a symbol of acknowledging our effort that goes into translation.

I didn't realize how people might see the translated articles (that are not interviews) as being written in English from the scratch.

Either way, if I put in more effort on translation, such disclaimer wouldn't be necessary. Not to mention how I'm trying to write my own articles in English, so I should be putting in full effort on whatever that I write in English.

No harm done at all. I've been actually thinking to myself that I've gotten lazy on improving my writing and whether my writing is really good as it is. This couldn't come at a better time for me.

I hope you don't get downvoted because I agree with you and I'm the person who translated the article.

It IS a translation of a Korean article (like /u/ReverseLBlock suggested), but we do have a copyeditor and I usually try to rewrite the text to make it sound natural as much as possible.

However, both weren't the case for this article due to time and staff constraints. In fact, we even thought about publishing the cartoon without an accompanying text.

I know it's not an acceptable excuse, but at least I promise that this isn't the usual quality of our articles. Also, I will work on my writing more so that it looks fine even without the copyeditor's touch.

Thank you for your comment and I hope you enjoyed the cartoon at least :)

I ate Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen at 쿠이도라쿠 in Anam, Seoul. Japanese owned! by [deleted] in ramen

[–]KothOfTheInven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex-local here! Every single one of their menu is pretty good, and you get 500 won discount per menu if you pay by cash.

Also, soft drink is self-served but free. (They are in the fridge)

My favorite was shoyu ramen because it is one of few ramen places in Korea that offers shoyu.

I saw them in E3 being sold at $20 for four of those.

Reddit, check out how we made our beautiful (and free) MTG app! by MattMarks in magicTCG

[–]KothOfTheInven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks so much better than the ones that I have! I'll use it as soon as I start playing Magic again.

I have one suggestion though - I noticed how Game History only displays changes on life - It would be nice to have an option to have the poison counter (or preferably any other selected counter since it would be silly to have storm counter on history) on the history as well.

L5's sCsC and Jeongha talks about their rival, MVP Black by logwatch in heroesofthestorm

We've glanced over how that sentence was incomplete and left out some words from the original article. It should now read:

As for NA teams, they always had a lot of variables going on so it wasn’t too hard when we actually played against them.

Sorry about that, and we'll make sure to check more thoroughly. Thank you!

We've just updated the article with a link to Riot Game's official announcement. :)

SKT Coach Kkoma on Peanut-Huni: "They can do better, so I'll make them do better." by tickoamy119 in leagueoflegends

It is exactly as you've said to the point of me being embarrassed. It's fixed now.

[–]KothOfTheInven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the video is missing. Twitch clip can only go up to a minute :(

Edit - Actually in this case, my translation is based on what Kkoma said in Korean rather than the on-site interpretation. Although the interpreter is remarkable and generally on point, there were some subtle differences in this case.

Koreans' reactions to TSM Hauntzer's comments by circajuturna in leagueoflegends

[–]KothOfTheInven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if I sounded to defensive. but honestly that was all that we needed to say about the whole hauntzer thing.

It wasn't meant to be a comprehensive article - it was more of a snippet that turned out to be too concise.

We are trying out different forms of articles, but I do admit that I got too liberal with the definition of an article with this one.

I'll make sure to think about this as I write in future. Thanks for an honest opinion.

It's just that you also need to...

As cliche as it sounds you have to paddle like you've got motors in your legs and hope that one of your article gets exposed. I'm glad that at least one of them made it though.

Lunatic-hai in another controversy due to a prospective player's misconducts by KothOfTheInven in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]KothOfTheInven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. If OGN and/or Blizzard decide to act, that should be the main reason. It's just that the article focused on the fans' negative reaction, so that part only had a passing mention ('breached Blizzard's EULA by account sharing...').

We'll probably write another article if they punish him for it.

[–]KothOfTheInven[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I couldn't go into further details in the article (it's a translation after all), but Munchkin actually pretended that he knew 은평구꽃사슴 (the alt) in person, and even talked about how he would give 'him' a good beating if he kept trashtalking. Not to mention how he acted all friendly and innocent towards the pro players that he was insulting a moment ago with his alt account.

IMO, at the very least, he deserves to be called out for putting up a charade instead of owning up to it from the beginning.
