Incorrectly calling the rounds resets in this message has bugged me for years.

I think it could be argued that 'Reset' is a proper term as well. The game even calls it a Reset if you go to "Top Players."

See the links to "Prev Reset," etc...

https://www.earthempires.com/alliance/69/ranks

I'm sure other areas refer to it as a Reset as well; I'm too lazy to look, though.

If enough people use it, it's the correct term.

Also iirc we never used round in e2025 it was always reset/set.

I don't disagree with that. To me, reset is a counting term in that example. "Who won last reset?" seems fine. This specific ingame statement mentioned in the OP makes me think the game is in a state of resetting for 60 days. Alliance game server is set to reset on June 11th. But saying "the reset set to reset on 6/11" seems odd. Or has the Alliance game server been resetting since it started on April 13th? Then we could say "the current reset is resetting and will completely reset on 6/11"
*shrug*

It does.

You'll have to elaborate on "we". If you mean the game itself or Mehul, then you aren't recalling correctly... Which is probably fine given that it was around 12 years ago

I'll fix that reference if someone makes a B&S post.

For me, "round" is the preferred term but it feels impossible to break the habit of calling it a "reset". It doesn't help that tons of code references it as reset as well.

Are you folks sooooo bored that you think it really matters?
Or, are you just hung up on social media and just looking for something to cancel?

It's a one word change that doesn't require any testing and resolves confusing wording on one of the most important game pages.

If I had to pick something to complain about, it would be all of the armchair developers around here. =)

Well this site is a pretty big example of what not to do UI UX and probably even infrastructure.
