' Wrote:People don't speak like that. Honestly, we've got plenty of German, Dutch, etc players on Skype. I have yet to hear a single one speak English like that. They don't zpeak like zis all zhe time.
I know people who speak like that, and hearing them speak always makes me smile and puts me in a good mood.
The objective of that game is to have fun, remember?

Fun is fine. But when it takes you 5 minutes to figure out what they are saying,and they start shooting cause you can't understand them is a pain. Personally i have shot a few for this. I interpret it ingame as a nomad that has not fully taken control of it's victom,and shoot it before it finish's.
If cannot understand a person,it is not RP. It is abuse to PvP IMO. And abuse of the "must speak english" rule. Like Dab said. It takes time to figure out,and sounds like jibberish.
' Wrote:Many of those Rheinland players need to consider this;
Because they very much overdo it. I hate walking into a post where every other word is an english word they have "Rheinland-ized". It's not Rheinland-ized... It's simply making it harder for everyone else to read while giving the idea that I'm talking to a mentally retarded Rheinlander rather than someone with an accent... People don't speak like that. Honestly, we've got plenty of German, Dutch, etc players on Skype. I have yet to hear a single one speak English like that. They don't zpeak like zis all zhe time.
This is just a method to keep german players out of Rheinland because they could not bear to read that. Rheinland is a good place for native speakers who just love to make fun of their own language.

Everytime I zee zomeone trying to zpeak like zat ... argh ... it makes me wanna go *insert short but heroic pew pew combat vid* all the time to those who think every German/Rheinländer has an accent ... we DON'T!
And I think there should be a "Small guide to the language of Rheinland" as well ^_^

So true :lol:
Thanks, Enoch, this will really help everyone encountering a Gallic invasion force ^_^
I'm an Englishman. We invented English so that everyone could learn just one language and not have to bother about dozens of different jibber-jabber sounding foreign lingo's. Over the past two centuries we've got pretty close to our aim of making English the universal language. We do however have a plan B for dealing with those people who are just plain awkward and insist on hanging on to their local regional dialects - speak louder and louder until they understand and gesticulate a lot. :lol:
