ign Yobananaboy, I bidded 21k on planet 9 I wouldn't worry about it. Your IGN doesn't match your Legion, so the bid is no good to begin with.

Yea, so let's break this down: Quote: ...if the bidder's in-game name and legion do not match... This is a statement of the form: Quote: if P and Q do not match where P is "the bidder's in-game name" and Q is "legion". Which "legion" are we talking about? There isn't one explicitly stated, so the interpretation is that we are talking about the bidder's legion (the bidder being the last possessive subject specified in the statement). No 3rd thing is specified anywhere else in the original post indicating what these two objects are being matched against, so the interpretation is that they match each other. Still with me? OK. So, the statement is essentially: Quote: if P does not match Q where P is "the bidder's in-game name" and Q is "the bidder's legion". In other words: Quote: ...if the bidder's in-game name does not match the bidder's legion... Not sure how you get to "Person has to be in the legion posted" from that, but OK. You're welcome for the grammar/syntax lesson, and you're welcome for the free bump.
