Familiarity and RP

[Sturmwind]

Eh yeah. Mixing the native language of a House with English doesn't make you a good role player. Learning the mentality and social structure of its populace and basing a character on that does.

[Backo]

Hm... I've had a character in every single zone of Disco. Though Rheinland and Liberty are somewhat my all time favourite for character origin, hehe.

Sadtranslation said once to me: "It seems like playing a rheinlander is a habit for you".

Well, perhaps I should try to leave Rheinland with a new char. Somewhen, in .86, maybe.

We make the rules, you follow them.

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.

Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

Yeah, I'm trying to remove all forms of accents from my characters since:
A: Translators turn it to your native language automatically in lore
B: Easier to read plain English (for me at least)

Meh, I do sometimes say things like "ja" and Volksfront members call eachother "Genossen"(German word for comrade) though that last thing is something that has been a policy from long before I joined.

Well, it would definetly affect my choice if there was a House of Romanov from ooold evolutions mod.
As of now, I just pick random things. Although having my own preferences, like I would prefer corsairs over outcasts, or lawfull characters over unlawfull, etc.

Kusari is very proud of their culture, very proud of their traditions and they're generally very old fashioned. I don't know about Rheinland, but when you fly into Kusari, everything is upside down and back to front, there are lawful-unlawfuls, the people are racist and things are unnessesarily green. I see Kusari as ever refusing to accept a universal language.

[Kuze]

Well since I am from Slovakia not a single thing in FL is familiar for me. However somehow Kusari is the most familiar for me. And Liberty, but Rheinland, Bretonia and Gallia is the most unfamiliar.
