g//anarki Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Originally posted by Master William screed, English is the most universal spoken language in the world. It is a must to know, seeing as everyone doesn't speak your native tounge. As for your cockyness -- I'm only annoyed at germans who won't speak english in english servers, where it is one of the rules to speak english only. It also annoys me when they are talking to me, but they refuse to speak english like they hated it. I have an opinion and thought of a certain thing. You sir, should not bash me for having that. I've played on German servers now and then. Do I get banned for speaking English (which a lot of German players do know) on their servers? No. Do I get banned for not knowing much German? Nope. If the point that you are trying to prove is that you're xenophobic, I'd agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlapNut Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 ive only played on an american server once, and as soon as i got on, no one was playing properly and they were saying mean things to me, im not saying all usa servers are like that, but it was a first impression.

Nemesis787 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Will you next thread be titled "Has anyone noticed something about the Ignorant and the prejudiced?" While I do notice the language point which I cannot blame them for, I notice all are sore losers equally. I could not agree more. Well said. Poor sportsmanship occurs among all nationalities. Why post a thread like this? Who cares if someone chats in German or French or Spanish? Even if these players know English, every language has its colloquialisms that do not translate into english and vice versa. everyday english is full of colloquiallisms which are not taught to non english speakers. I speak spanish , however, I have a very hard time with spanish "slang" and many jokes make no sense in english. This is why many people who speak english as a second language choose to use their native language while chatting with friends. The interesting thing about people who master multiple languages is that they also tend to develop an appreciation of different cultures and points of view. We could all benefit from such understanding. Note: I welcome all nationalities on my server. Including Germans and Americans.

griff38 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Originally posted by Rumor many american kids are pussified little bitches nowadays. hell just about the whole country is. when i was little kids got in fist fights and the next day they were best friends. now you fight at school you get suspended and put on probation and ****, and the hatred festers between them, because they cant settle their differences on a very basic level (lot easier and effective than on a cognitive level). You said it my brotha man. Just look at the panties in wad cry babies shouting about racial slurs and the like. The diversity between human cultures promotes growth and new experience for all humans, regognizing this and not being afraid to speak about it is not racism. And in this day and age it brings out alot of people whos emotional state is stunted from Political correctness. My point about citizens of the US (generally) being poor loosers and poor winners has been made over and over again in this thread.

Master William Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 plazma I'm saying that they refuse to speak english when it is needed. Let me explain what I mean: Austich: nexus Nexus: yes? Austich: <something in german> Nexus: i dont know german, please speak english if you want me to understand... Austich: no Nexus: well then dont talk to me, because I don't know german Austich: <continues to talk with me in german> Nexus: look either talk to me in english or leave Austich: **** you Nexus: -=LOL=- That's my point (a bit dumb explained).

FK | unnamed Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 This is actually a very good thread, just don't get all bent out of shape people, we all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. Serious though, here are some observations I made in the last year and a half playing these two games: Germans and the Swedes have the weirdest binds like vert1go said: GOOD==+>>***L<--->O<--->L***<<===FIGHT! I have no idea why this is, but even in the German competitive community, they use these silly binds... Now that said, I will say the "most ruthless player award" has to go to the German competitive community. By this I mean they simply show you no mercy what so ever in matches. Now don't get me wrong, American competitive players are just the same, but for us "style" counts as well. We like to bulldoze people and beat the living hell out of them. When we "own" a person/team, we want them to know it. For the Germans, well here is a typical scenario: Match starts, 20 minute time limit. German player zaps one single point off your shields from across the map with level 2 lightning... and strafe jumps around the map like a bat out of hell (so you can't get close enough to touch him) for 20 minutes straight until the time runs out and takes a "time win". Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing that way of playing, but in the global competitive community there is a term known as "playing Euro" which basically means doing what I just mentioned. As for the U.K. players, well to be honest the only thing I noticed about them is a lot of them are really, really heavy into the "honor" thing. As for the Americans, well keep in mind that most of our kids these days are spoiled brats raised by parents who were spoiled brats. When I grew up I would get a belt across my ass when I did something bad, today kids get "time outs" or they get sent to a therapist and pumped up on dope all at the expense of mom and dad’s insurance company. So if you think dealing with them in a video game is frustrating... try making it through the day with out choking the living **** out of these types of people when you are surrounded by them day in and day out in the real world.

Kurgan Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I think it's kinda cool. There seem to be a LOT of German Jedi Knight players, and the one's I've met have been by and large pretty friendly/nice/players. It's also neat because I'm learning German, so it gives me a bit of practice even when I'm "not studying" heh. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the wooden spoon across my a**. My mother's thoery was that it took away the fear of her hand and replaced it with the fear of a physical object. The belt and a switch work too, especially when they make you go find your own swtch(stick). I think placing a kid ina corner is much worse then this, physical scars go away(theoretically) and mental ones tend to not sometimes. I feel bad for my dad's generation. My gramps is a WWII Navy vet(a great and kind man though), you should see the belt he sharpens his razor on, yyyyeeeeeoooouch. Personally, I put my son on vidoe game restriction, works everytime.

psycore Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Originally posted by vert1go I've noticed a lot of Germans have some real bent binds such as: ---+++[ GF ]+++--- **((-- ROFL --))** etc. Such binds, in my opinion, look pretty stupid, and as I said I only really notice people who speak German doing it. :x i mean what is stupid to bind several for some creative bindings if they wish? i think it looks better and so everyone has his own style and some look really cool imo. then i mean what is better a bind spammer which has his own style or almost all the american and english players with their KT-Spam..... also languages i mean what som think they come on a german clanserver and spam: stop german talk english ffs, i mean pah just go out of there... simple but effective:) then second most if not all germans and that are aswell swiss and austrians like me:) learn in school minimum 8 years english every day and i know enough people who dont like this language and cant speak after that english very well maybe its too hard.... and what i also want to say is u cant say everything or better translate into english from your native so its a bit hard also for me sometimes to say my feels or what ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Here's a theory: They don't understand much english. They know that english speaking players like to throw around a lot of slang anyway. They take those oft-used phrases and bind them to keys for ease of use. I guess it would be like if I joined a german server regularly and I knew a few german phrases, I could bind them to keys to save time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't implying you were rascist, I am very sorry.

acdcfanbill Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yea, i, from america, have also noticed this anti 1st place mentality of US players. I've also been accused of using an aim bot, with my SABER! i chuckled for quite a while. I think most of the negative american vibes probably stem from teh fact that most players stand around and polish their hilts while waiting to duel honorably, in a FFA server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
