User:Artie

artie is coaching the team Robmasters. He first heard of Hattrick back in 2003 when a classmate was trying to persuade him into signing up for a team. This did however not convince him, but when reading an article in Expressen he was finally hooked. In July 2003, after approximatley three months wait, artie got his team. His classmate soon got tired of Hattrick and ended his career while doing his military service, but rumours has it that he couldn't stand the shame of seeing artie quickly becoming more succesful than himself.

Grammar

When artie writes on the Hattrick conference, or when someone is writing about him, there are a couple of exceptions from the normal grammar regulations that should be followed.

Capital A

The name "artie" shall never be written with a capital A - not even when it comes first in a sentence. Normally there are exceptions which confirmes the rules, but in this case there are no exceptions whatsoever. Certain people would probably claim that "artie" always should be written with a capital A, because it's a name, but artie is of the opinion that "artie" is a symbol for his name, which can be expressed with letters.

Suffix

Since "artie" is not a name, but a symbol, normal rules when it comes to suffixes are not applied. When it comes to genitive, for example, it's not possible to add an "s" to the symbol. Instead, it is preferred to refrase the sentence to something like "the thing that belongs to artie".

Third person

When artie is talking about himself, he can choose to refer to himself as first or third person. Never second, though. Wheter artie can choose to talk about himself in plural is not clear, because he has never tried, but there should be no legal jurisdiction that forbidds him.

De Fantastiska Fyra

artie is, together with attif, Big T and mallot, a part of the volontary underground movement "De Fantastiska Fyra (DFF)". artie has taken a role as the intelligent expert who has an answer on everything and sees himself as a mentor for the other members. In this federation (which can't be an official federation due to too few members) artie is perhaps most well-known for being chairman of the cruise committee which was founded by Big T before the first annual Helsinki Risteily. The other members thinks that artie made a tremendous effort and describes his performance like following:

"Thanks for a wonderful journey." -Big T "No one else could have done it better." -mallot "I've got a long, skinny stick." - attif
