Darque Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Disclaimer: This is not meant to offend anyone in any way, I'm just trying to see if the way they post helps or hurts their "discussions". As I sit here, getting a headache as I try to decrypt a post by Gromnir, I was struck by a thought... how many people acutally bother to read these "alternate" styles of posts? So speak up :D Do you bother? or do you just pass on by? Does it help to make their arguments more "memorable" or does it cause your brain to hemorage?
Volourn Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I don't need to translate Gromnir's posts. They ar every much understandable. Now, I'm lucky where Sarge is concerned as I'm used to his Wemician language I have a 1st Degree Knowledge of it now. I pity those who don't 'cause otherwise it's just gibberish.

Arkan Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I thought Sargy was wearing two baseball gloves when he first started typing the way he does. Now I don't have any problem understanding his gibberish 1 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
triCritical Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I understand Gromnir, but I really have a hard time understanding Sarge. Volkrn eis teh ddue tat need sa trbnslatr!

Gorth Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Neither. Both are fairly easy to understand. What I don't understand is, why do they even bother ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
mkreku Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 They're both gibberish to me. I just ignore them. It's difficult enough reading and writing english (I am swedish) without having to go through another layer of translating. Besides, 90% of what those two write is crap anyhow Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Neither. Both are fairly easy to understand. What I don't understand is, why do they even bother ? Second that...
Maria Caliban Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Both are fairly easy to understand. I find the same to be true. If you find either of them difficult reading try the Canterbury Tales or The Sound and the Fury. This knyght answerde, "Allas and weylawey! I woot right wel that swich was my biheste! For Goddes love, as chees a newe requeste! Taak al my good, and lat my body go!" "Nay, thanne," quod she, "I shrewe us bothe two! For thogh that I be foul, and oold, and poore, I nolde for al the metal, ne for oore, That under erthe is grave, or lith above, But if thy wyf I were, and eek thy love." "My love?" quod he, "nay, my dampnacioun! Allas, that any of my nacioun Sholde evere so foule disparaged be!" "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I have learned to read Old and Middle English. Sargie and Grommie are simple compared to that. :D
Aegeri Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Don't really bother Though Sarge is on occasions rather amusing. Boss: You're fired. Me: Ummm will you let me have my job if I dance for you? Boss: No, I don't think so- Me: JUST LET ME DANCE *Dances*
oherror Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I tend to skim it and read what i want to. other then that it is rather like reading a childs first attempts to spell and write sentances. some what hard, but you get used to it.

Darque Posted June 17, 2004 Author Posted June 17, 2004 I don't know what's more disturbing.. the fact you wrote that or the fact I could translate it...
Diogo Ribeiro Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 At a point, Grom's writing style pissed the hell out of me and i couldn't get most of it. Now, it's all sun and flowers.
Child of Flame Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Well, considering I was able to teach myself how to read Old and Middle English pretty well with a little help from reference sources here and there, Grom and Sarge are easy reading. I find it helps if you imagine Grom's posts in a Gollum voice, and Sarge's in a bad Scottish accent.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 ...bad Scottish accent, eh???...yer close, lad...OK; I's'll "spill the beans" a wee bit on where's I gits it: ...when I was in the military, me best friend was a lad by the name o' Chad "Moose" Hedderson from the grand Isle o' Newfoundland...now, y'all may 'ave a hard time believin' this, but I's'll be damned if'n ol' Moose didna talk jus' like this...ask any Kanadian whose had the pleasure o' takin' a trip ta "The Rock" an' theys'll tell ya that Newfie-ese ain't the easiest dialect ta translate, an' Moose's particular accent was e'en more poluted than most... ...there; now ya's knows... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... 1 A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Volourn Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Newfoundlanders - at least the ones I've talked to - do NOT talk the way you write. Don't besmirch their good name. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 ...e'er actually been there, dwarf???...go ta a few ol' fishin' villages (Moose was from Gricket (sp?)); some o' theys make me typin' 'ere look like perfect English... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... 1 A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile.

Raziel Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Well, considering I was able to teach myself how to read Old and Middle English pretty well with a little help from reference sources here and there, Grom and Sarge are easy reading. I find it helps if you imagine Grom's posts in a Gollum voice, and Sarge's in a bad Scottish accent. "Gollum voice." Love it. :D Anyway, Sargy's accent is fun. Gromnir's just makes me want to smack him.
