Typos / spelling errors / grammar errors
The random messages for outhouses, pots, and graves need to be checked for spelling and punctuation errors. There are many, so I don't really want to list them.
They're just typos, so you'd notice them immediately if you looked.
If there are any more anyone has seen, post 'em here.

There is a problem, like you see. It should be, like you know:
Message 51: ten_trolls._No_Less._No_more."
Read the whole message. You will see it is wordplay and intentional misspelling.
Message 50: "Here_lies_Les_the_great._He_was_torn_apart_by
Message 51: ten_trolls._No_Les._No_more."
I've fixed a few others though.

Yes, but I think one occasionally gets JUST message 51.
Also, I have gotten a tombstone that said "in the sand palace. Haha!"
Number errors of some kind? Randomizer problems?

Yeah, well, I have problems with the gravestones. For example, I sometimes get the ending of a message, and sometimes I get the same message twice on different gravestones. Maybe we should give each gravestone its own message...

Bug me if you want to play a game.

The fact that you get the same message twice on the same gravestone is NOT an error.
We might be able to script it so that that doesn't happen, but it might be complicated.
They shouldn't have set messages though; there's too many messages, and randomization is cool.

Yeah, but only to a certain extent. When I first saw four Spyros buried right next to each other, I laughed hard, but the second time it wasn't all that funny anymore, and the third time it actually was annoying. Maybe setting states would help?

Yeah, I wonder if there would be a way to check if other instances of the same object have a certain state?
I'm not saying I like duplicate messages, I just don't think the messages should be the same every time.
