    I got this pop-up in the game client after completing a game this morning...

    WGT appears to be pushing pretty hard for people to read the TOC.

    Could be they are preparing for the  inevitable, There are rumors going around that complaints have been filed with the authorities. Have heard several people talking about it.

    Not seen it.  Assuming you not just jesting cos it's blank:)

    WGT may want to give this link example to whoever the quill pen is responsible for the present jibberish.

    Essentially though I quote in italics:

    Plain English advocates believe lead to greater clarity. A well-written legal document should :
    • Define its terms
    • Eliminate ambiguities
    • Minimize "Legalese"
    • Plan for "what if" contingencies
    • Use short sentences
    • Avoid passive voice
    • Address all issues
    • Avoid repetition
    • Be internally consistent in form and substance
    • Use simple sentence structure

    The point is that too many lawyers fail to recognize that the quality of a legal document does not necessarily increase in proportion to its length. Surveys in Michigan, Florida, and Louisiana show that when judges and lawyers are shown two versions of a document, one in a traditional style and one in Plain English, more than 80% of them prefer the Plain English version


    Get the drift WGT.  What you have looks essentially worthless jibberish.  Afraid say, and not being rude, but no point beating around the bush.

    Interesting.  And they find a quill pen to write it....Great! EDIT Looked at it again, and a little harsh, but not that far off either sorry to say.
