Silly Facebook games
I just started playing a Facebook game called Utopia Kingdoms. Not really sure yet if the game is worth the candle, but I do somewhat like the look of the human character:

It's a shame that the dwarf isn't kilted.

Still, he's wearing the kilt back-to-front.....

I thought it looked more like a belted plaid....

Yep, Still back-to-front...;)

until we get people to accept the idea of a kilt in general isn't a little much to be asking them to get the details right???? I'll be honest, until I started wearing a kilt I had no idea that the pleats were so important....Just a thought.

It's been a long strange ride so far and I'm not even halfway home yet.

The kilt may not be back-to-front, but rather pleated all around, a style which would not be out of place in the 17-century Scottish Highlands.
Then again, given the way the plaid hangs (up the chest, over the shoulder, and down the back, similar to the Braveheart "great kilt"), I suppose there is a good case to be made that it is back-to-front.

Pleated around the entire circumference is/was correct for belted plaids (and even for the earliest "little" kilts). Or, perhaps you'd like to challenge Lord George Murray on the practice?

Gesh, after I modeled for the avatar, you think they could have gotten it right?
Oh well, at least they got my body correct.

That is what I was thinking - pleated all the way around
