Many of these suggestions don't make any sense. So schedule I can be a menu? What the heck does that mean? Is it a mistranslation from the Engrish site?

Anonymous User Sep. 18, 2008  report  Yay Boo  0 pts

Schedule I refers to the U.S. Schedule of drugs. Schedule

http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/scheduling.html

According to the DEA:

(A) The drug or other substance has high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

No prescriptions may be written for Schedule I substances, and such substances are subject to production quotas by the DEA.

Is "Atlantean Empire" a reference to something specific, or just the Atlantis myth generally?

I think you might want to write it as "Schedule I" or Schedule 1 just to avoid the confusion.
