Kusari RP?

[Ceoran]

Wow, this thread accurately explained Kusari RP, and not the first half of the thread, that was all rubbish. Don't think that saying a few words in Japanese makes your RP any better or any worse, in fact, that merely underlines your lack of ability to RP when you fall back on such cheap phrases to make up for your lack of depth.

If anything, attempt to speak in an accent with your speech, this does not mean you should replace all L's with R's and putting a U at the end of words, this means attempting to speak English with the nuance of Japanese, overusing the word honour, referring to people as brother and sister, using out of place English like 'most understandable' and outdated English like 'worry not!', omitting 'the' and 'a' occasionally or saying weird proverbs like 'one who throws the stone in air, gets a soar head' or something made up like that.

People who simply say Konnichiwa and Sayonara (especially Sayonara, it's rarely said anyway) are not particularly deep in RP.

I also have a problem with the direct-from-dictionary naming of Kusari ships, it's weird, especially considering the naming scheme of vanilla ships.

Concerning language I'm a supporter of following the rules. It's an international server, with the rules officially stating the used language is to be English. I'm okay with local expressions of "hello", "goodbye" and maybe some localized insults ("gaijin"/"baka" for Kusari), but that should be the limit. Inventing pseudo-dialects like in Rheinland are just overcomplicating communication if not making it impossible to understand.

On the naming pattern of Kusari ships I have to say though that all most people have is a dictionary and a limit of 26 characters. I wouldn't mind a list on all Samura ships you think are wrong in our feedback if provided with a reason. In fact, I'd appreciate it. However, we'll continue to ignore the SIS- tagging due to character limit.
