Uhm, you have the wrong order. It must be like this:

Display("So %s! You have been kicked out blah blah blah.", playername);

thx

Maybe I should have made it clearer in the videos.  The %s is just a placeholder for your string variable.  So just treat %s as if it's the playername (or whatever the string is) in your quoted string as in NsMn's example.  Likewise, you can use %d for integers, and you can even put more than one placeholder in a string, like this:

Display("So %s! You have been kicked out of your flat because you don't have %d coins!", playername, priceOfFlat);

Just put the variables in the same order as the placeholders.
