forum, I was wondering if you could add commas( , ) to the spylogs.

For example:
When I spy on someone I get this: Strike Action 9395896
It would be alot easier to read if it were: Strike Action 9,395,896

Just an idea,

Yeah, this is a good suggestion. I've attacked more than one person when i thought there strike action was 1.5 million and it was 15 million instead

Same here

I vote yes for the demarcation point...

heu oh, that is not a poll ..

I vote yes to the suggestion then

i second that

technically u dont put commas' in anymore, ur supposed to put a space every 3 numbers so it reads like this 1 000 000 same thing just with spaces instead of commas'

and you are supposed to write out numbers from 1-99

who decided this stuff anyway?

I don't care about the grammer. I just want a way to read it easier.

The only reason people put spaces in it now is because of the whole international issue...

13,000 in america is the same thing as 13.000 in other countries... and 13.000 would mean 13,000 to them. In a game like this, the 1000 difference could mean a loss when a win was expected

I think its understood this game uses the commas to separate numbers, and not periods, so getting involved with the 'politically correct' way is just annoying to me

So anyway, spaces, commas, or periods, Something should be done to make it easier to read, I agree with that.

Actually I think its only the numbers from one to ten. I agree with the suggestion though, I always find myself counting the digits to make sure Its even worse if they have a .5 in there lol

Could you plz tell us what counties or places that uses this or were the hell you found this cuz last I checked in math periods (.) are used for decimals and not instead of commas

yep does odd balls over their in Europa use dem periods and metra system


oh and i vote yes to having a comma or space!

France for one, along with most other countries...

" In English-speaking countries, the decimal point (decimal marker)
is the period. In continental Europe and most other places, the
decimal marker is the comma. ... Since the comma often means a
decimal point, the International System (SI) requires that large
numbers, like the billions above, be represented as groups of
three digits separated by narrow spaces, not by commas."

I found this out in another game... there was mass confusion because of this misunderstanding, so I looked into it since I find things like this interesting.

An example would be we would write 3,998.60 and they would instead write 3.998,60.


You just have to accept that we Americans are not the center of the world, and other countries do not have to do it our way...

same here! please implement it, does not matter spaces or commas or dots or dollar signs or anything. just implement it

Just bumping thread up for forum to see.
