Dear development team,

when the parser finds one unknown name amongst
the "players",
then it issues the warning
"No known players found".
It should read: "At least one unknown player found".

I sent to you this text bug before,
but it is still in the new version of Zillions.

Cheers, Karl.

The message means no known players were found that match that symbol.

Thanks for clarifying this by saying what the message really means.
However, you do not mention whether you are going to change it to the much clearer text
that you used in your reply:

"No known players were found that match that symbol."

If you know a better way to say it, why do you not use it??

In the case you describe, i.e. where you have put in an unknown name, the message means no known players were found that match that symbol. However, that is not the only case where Zillions can't find a player. For example, there may be no symbol at all. "No known players found" covers all cases where Zillions doesn't find a known player, but expects to.
