Not by any convention I've ever heard of. Groups of 5 are IIII

Google '5 bar gate' counting and you won't find any examples of drawing 5 vertical lines and then crossing them.

Also the latest news letter has

So I guess who ever wrote the newsletter thought it odd too.

Not that it matters :), but it's just another example of FDs occasional sloppiness, like "Shit Kits" and using "innumerate" instead of "innumerable", but for some reason this one grates on my nerves (probably still going to buy them though :P ).

I just created a convention that works fine with the nameplate

Nope, wrong it's still just wrong.
They might as well spell it "WictolyNamprate".

I wonder what my ship would look like.
last I checked, 18 138 kills and counting...

Hey I'm Thor -
People call me Bob.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Hash marks are for counting days in prison or stuck on a deserted island. They should have silhouettes, but who has the space for that? The probably need gold stars or something for each 1000 kills.

I gotta say though, that it's really sad that this was released (and even created), even if they did acknowledge it 'tongue in cheek'. It's like they are saying "yeah, we're FD and we're stupid". :(
It's time to give this another go.
