Topic: Has not yet lasted for less than two weeks?

"As the war has not yet lasted for less than two weeks this information has not yet been distributed to all your soldiers. War bonuses are not applied."

Something seems wrong about that sentence...


Plus it's been less than 48 hours since we undeclared/redeclared... and I'm still taking planets (and they were able to do the same after they undeclared).

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad,
Staan wetten in de weg en praktische bezwaren,
En ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren,
En die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat.

Should read: "As the war has not yet lasted for MORE than two weeks, this information has not yet been distributed to all OF your soldiers. War bonuses are not applied."

Should read: "Viagra distribution lasts two weeks over your empire, bonuses not still applied."

Should read "your troops have not returned from their two weeks of vacation, good luck!"

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Better still:

"As the war has not yet lasted two weeks, this information has not been distributed to all of your soldiers. War bonuses are not applied."


The "more than" just confuses the meaning, and repeating "yet" for the 2nd time is better removed or replaced with something else. Imo.
