Re: banner
Duh is an American expression meaning:
replacement for the sarcastic retort, " No Kidding! " example;
" Hey, the Sun is bright "
" Duh! "
I said you should have said that because the helicopter part was amusing and the others should have known that.

I'd just use the current text, cut the helicopter engine out or change it into something else (if I remember right they are actually unmanufacurable now) and change the last sentence to "NEVER TRUST YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION" or something along these lines.
Pretty in pink.

That sounds awful to me. Are you serious?

Well, yes, but my sense of style is far from perfect when it comes to English.
Pretty in pink.

Re: banner
Eh, I'm not one to judge.
Maybe I should also change "MMORPG" to "PBBG"... MMORPG could be misleading to someone accustomed to the common concept of an RPG, but then, the "RP" part does need to be emphasised and "PBBG" gives no indication of that.

How about something a bit more "educational"?
2565-5.07: You notice a man in his twenties you haven't seen before.
2565-5.07: a man in his twenties says: "Hi my name's Albert. What is there to do around here?"
2565-5.08: You say: "Welcome Albert! *smiles at him* Read the local laws on the note over there. Besides that you can (same as before).
2565-5.11: Albert (a man in his twenties) says: ... (( He now has a name ))
...and so on.
Personally I'm not so fond of the slap and all caps at the end.

Sure, but I'm not feeling very creative so you'll have to fill in the gaps there.

Do not forget the actions: take, drop, read note... And I love that slap.
