Familiarity and RP

[Ceoran]

Eich ja sehr aergerlich. Look at how many words for emphasis I used! It probably doesn't even make sense anymore.

Yep, you are right. It doesn't. But kudos for using the "ae", which makes it outclass 99% of all chatter that's going on in Rheinland.

PS: All that Japan speak goin' on in Kusari? I think it's silly. German speak in Rheinland? Probably equally silly (though I understand it so less silly to me). At this point in human history, we probably have developed a universal language already. We might have different dialects, seeing that we're all lightyears away, but everyone should really just be speaking English or human or whatever.

I can go with local forms of hailing and maybe insults, because that's what we have in RL anyways and probably will even have if we manage to develop a unified language. I'm fine with ranks too. Everything else is just annoying. If I get more, I usually ignore it. If the person keeps addressing me I point out that messages have to be in understandable english.

However, the main reason I can't settle in with Rheinland probably is that the players seem to always turn it into a Bavaria-rip-off, which only comes to my mind as the part of Germany with the most separatist tendencies in history. I know, it's the typical American stereotype of Germany, but it's like wondering why people in New York aren't wearing their Cowboy-hats all the time.
