English..? Please?

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I can help in translating the rules to Turkish if you want. I know its not the majority of this server but I saw certain people speaking Turkish here, so it may help.

Gobble-Gobble? :) Oh, sorry, you said Turkish, not Turkey. (I know, I have a strange sense of humor at times. And my wife does know basic Turkish, but not much anymore - she was there for 4 years when she was a child.)

And for those of you who are not native English speakers, and asking us if we know how hard it is to learn a foreign language - Hai, Da, Si.... Spanish in High School for me, Russian in College, and Japanese since then due to business. With a smattering of French, German, and Latin in there as well. But that's not the point here.

As Johann did state -

But yeah, players who can't speak English can't properly roleplay, I don't go and play on a German server because I know I wouldn't contribute anything to their community and I'd just be a nuisance, I expect the same respect on this English server.

I may be putting words in his mouth, but he's NOT knocking people for not speaking English. He's knocking people because they won't or can't properly Role Play here.

I commend the people who make a serious attempt to RP with a language that is not their own and welcome them wholeheartedly.

Exactly! If you mis-spell a word, or use the wrong word, not a big deal. If you just put out 'No English' and continue on your merry way, you're going to get a CD up your tailpipe and a whole lot of grief.

That is the most biased, Ignorant, arrogant thing i have ever heard said on this forum and i hope i never see something like that again.
English has become a mainstream language in this day and age, and UNFORTUNATELY THE MISCONCEPTION is that those who do not speak fluent english, are not intelligent....
Unfortunately, USA is lacking in many things, especially education....

He did NOT say that people were unintelligent. He said that people who don't (or WON'T) speak English on a RolePlay server that is based on English Only can't RolePlay here properly. If I went to a Cantonese Server of Freelancer, even though I might know the mechanics of the game, how well do you think I'd do in player interactions since I speak no Cantonese?

It's not like there aren't pop-ups in game saying things about what language to speak here, true?

And your last comment - our general education system is lousy. I agree. But that has no relevance to this discussion.
