Bad Accents

[Nieninque]

Speaking in broken common to Kyrrin, Tese says, "That am a new game I am not knowing.

Ali G in the house?

[Nieninque]

Do you know who Ali G is?

[Iriscience]

Who is Ali G?

[Artha]

Yes, but I can't understand a word that guy says.

[Nieninque]

Ah...in the UK it was TV program of a white bloke from Staines (yes that really is a town) who pretended he was black and used to wind up celebrities and (my favourite) Tory ministers by saying stuff like "you just saying that coz I'm black, right?" and watching as the fell about themselves trying to show they werent racist.

Anyway, Tese reminded me of Ali G.

Obviously lost on the trans-atlantic translation... :shrug:

<--- used to watch Ali G on HBO.

[Artha]

I attempted to watch it, but it didn't come with subtitles, so I gave up.

[ThisOtherKingdom]

HBO will still put an episode on rarely. It's really hilarious, you just have to pay attention. It's like watching Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch.

Broken common... Would you rather they mispelled the holy hell out of every word so you couldn't read it? It annoys me even worse when someone speaks in broken common, but it comes across as perfect, so I'd say Tese is doing a good job. Maybe that's just me.

Do you remember way back in the day there was a merchanting character named Guido?

He used to say, "Lette me save you the monney!"

He was well trained in trading, and at merchants would buy stuff for you for cheaper, taking a cut.

Kill all Altoids. Pull off their wings. They're dumb.

I dislike accents in game. I dont really have a logical reason for hating ones that are used properly, I suppose. Even in books and other forms of text I find reading accents annoying.

On Altoids? They are a freak race that has no right to claim our world as home. Enslave them or remove their kind, the are nothing but winged pests and should be treated as such.

[Amaron]

ack...

Runs to hide her small winged one...

who does speak broken common by pronouncing things phoneticly ( sp?)

But since she is learning to speak common I make it better sounding every week or so...

soon she will just speak mostly normally with the broken common messaging.

Just messing up a word now and then.

I thought the game would remove the "broken common" messaging on it's own in due time?

Oh I hope so... After a period of time in the lands it would be nice to speak common fluently...

And as second generations are born here they will grow up speaking common as well..

Would be a nice touch..


J who's bug still hides from the wing pullers guild of Elanthia

Hey I'd love an Altoid slave. A cute, young female that I'd dress in a loincloth.

i own one. her name is May.

[Fallen]

It would be interesting if an Altoid had a feature alter that removed her/his wings.

[Betheny]

I'll give them a free wing removal.

Maimara is under the impression they're some weird breed of kiramon, and Raveyna just hates them.

I'm gonna make myself a human slave... and buy a whip too... just for kicks.

[Fallen]

Multi-accounting your own slave. That just reeks of integrity and humility.

[Xcalibur]

I was thinking about that, making me an aeototoeitoeit or whatever you call it and treat it as a slave, would be cool.

That being said, I was one of the few guys with a very bad accent, but it was not my fault:)

any french accent pisses me off when it's badly done (à la selanbradford)

[Bobmuhthol]

btw Ali G was on a couple days ago and I was like, "Yo yo yo Ali G my homez" and it totally kicked ass.

This one time, I was looking for slaves and a whip on the amunet, and I got silenced :(
