I Hate Foerigners Who Join English Servers!

This something that really really really pisses me off. BTW I only mean the ones who have no idea how to speak **obscenity** English. I mean I only speak a little french so I would certainly not go on a spanish/french/german etc server because of the problems it would cause communications wise. So why do they all come on to English servers? do they not have servers in their own countries? most if not all have fast connections that I see.

It is so annoying to be playing marines as the comm and have some spanish/french idiot blabbering away in their own language and not following orders, or worse still standing around in the spawn typing "need hmg comfad3r" constantly. It's even worse if they are on the aliens team because they always want to be gorg for some reason (even if you have 2 gorgs already)and go around wasting res by building OC in stupid places (like on a res node) or by building sensory chambers first against the pleas of the entire team.

    ...

    And these people are different from all the English-speaking idiots...how?

    Sorry, just because someone is foreign doesn't automatically make them stupid.

    And just because someone's English-speaking doesn't make them automatically smart, either. I've run into plenty of stupid fluent English-speakers in my NS time.

    This just seems irrelevant and bordering on racist...

    Yay.
    Take some english-lessons, mate.

    That whole "GET YER OWN DAMN SERVERS **obscenity** NOOBS DONT YUO HAVE A SERVER IN YOUR COUNTRY **obscenity** **obscenity** DIE MISTER YOU SUCK HAHAHAHHAA I R LEET" sucks. I get that **obscenity** everyday when playing on finnish servers (I'm from Sweden). I even got banned once for being "a dirty **obscenity** homosexual swede".

    Edit: Sorry for all the obscenitites. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In a game which requires so much team work and communication, playing with someone who wont speak the language everyone else speaks in a server can be a major problem. Good luck playing with a foreign commander.

    I have to agree... respect other people and dont judge them because of thier language. Most french guys dont even speak english for some reason, but live with it. Theres LOTS of english guys who dosent respect the commander either and Ive played on alot of english servers and its a very common problem, maybe caused by the age of the player.

    BTW. im danish and ive been banned from 2 swedish servers because i was a "Jevla danska" (something like that) even though swedish and danish are very similare languages.. I tried speaking danish to them but it ended with a ban. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ALWAYS speak english when playing on a server from another country, no matter if it's another Scandinavian server. People <u>will</u> get annoyed.

    Also, danish people are VERY hard to understand for swedes, somehow. Norwegian is easy, but danish is difficult as hell.

    I've been on tons of servers where I've had no idea what anyone is saying. You know what I do? I keep playing, follow their lead, and do what I joined to do... kill stuff. You should do the same. Whenever I don't speak the language that everyone else does, I just shut up and kill...

    The fact that I said spanish/french idiot doesn't mean I think all spanish/french people are stupid. Try reading things before typing a reply.

    You said, and I quote: "I Hate Foerigners [sp] Who Join English Servers!" You didn't specify "I hate STUPID foreigners" or "I hate French people who talk into the mic constantly". You said. "I hate Foreigners". Period. As in, everyone.

    Far to many people are missing the point I'm trying to make and turn this into a "oo lets not be racist and racism is bad" thread.
  • CatgirlCatgirl Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5741Members
    Well considering you could have made the exact same point without bringing up anyone's nationality (IE, I hate people who talk into the mic, don't listen, and sit in the base and not follow orders)...it's you who brought it into the whole conversation.

    So you really have no-one but yourself to blame. Suck it up.

    There was a character limit on a title, the rest was ment to say "who don't speak English" I couldn't fit it in but the average peson should have been able to make out what i was trying to say in the original post, obviously I was wrong.
  • eagleceaglec Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9948Members, Constellation
    oooh, stirred something up hear!

    To set the records straight:-

    I have several French friends, I was excersising a sense of humour (although my mothers German and that may have had something to do with it.).

    I'm impressed and amazed at how many English people like myself are too arrogant, ingnorant or just plain dumb to learn a second language when the average 12 year old in Europe already has a better command of the English language than the average 12 year old in Birmingham.

    However when people join a team game that relies on communication they have two options - talk the common language, or shut up and follow as best they can. With this I agree whole-heartedly.

    I may as well berate your idiocy until Spider Monkey closes this...so lets go!

    Where does the idea that just because someone is on a server and doesn't speak the native language of that server's location make them an automatic idiot come from?

    You insinuate this idea SEVERAL times: Suggesting that they "blabber", don't listen to the Comm, and just beg for weapons. As well as saying that they "always" (key word) want to be Gorges and waste Res.

    The most telling part of the "discrimination" factor of your post comes from the whole idea of "Why do they have to come to <u>our</u> servers?". Just because you speak English and they don't doesn't give you some kind of monopoly on the server. It also doesn't give you the right to be judgemental about them solely based on the language they speak.
  • NessNess Join Date: 2002-12-17 Member: 10935Members, Reinforced - Onos
    Living in a country with 200 million + people who have learned english, and the majority of game servers being english, I suppose i'd be biased in saying if you want to play on a server, be courteous and learn the language.
  • V_MANV_MAN V-MAN Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 6217Members, Constellation
    For the record the best player I know at NS is a guy I know at University who happens to be spanish, calls himself "Jesus" in game and he speaks fairly good English as well as like 7 other languages.
  • Pi_GiPi_Gi Join Date: 2002-03-16 Member: 324Members
    I've played with perfectly nice bilingual French guys. and not so bilingual french guys. Doesn't help that I know enough french to get by in a server. But I understand your point. When I see german all over the server name, I don't join. When I hear italian over the mic I feel a bit weird. But seriously now.

    THERE ARE WAYS TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW YOUR LANGAUGE! You can ask if they speak english. You can ask for translations if you happen to find an interpreter. I understand your point, but if you can't cope with this small inconvience in a game, do not travel abroad, ever.

    ....and good for him.

    but I think the point that he was trying to make was speak the language of everyone else. If I joined a server and everyone was speaking spanish I would limit my speach to things that the team should understand(like the menu commands). I wouldn't join with joe and blab about how the footy went last night. Although this anoys me from all gamers not just foreign ones.

    THe part that makes a person STUPID, is joining a server where everyone speaks english and staying even though they dont know the language.
    The part that makes them an **obscenity**, is after staying, speaking in their native tongue, and not being undersood, they then say it LOUDER, so we can NOT understand it even BETTER!

    Lol at using the word "berate" instead of scold.


    By blabber I am refering to what they are saying as being of little or no use to the other people on the server, you know what berate means you ought to know what blabber means.

    Not listening to the comm, perhaps I should have re-phrased that as not following orders and waypoints. Such as "Defend target", "Proceed to waypoint" and "Weld target at waypoint" all of which come with a nice icon on screen to follow. Regardless of language if you have played the game b4 you will know what this means.

    As for standing around begging for weapons that is annoying whatever language the person speaks but if they speak English at least you can give them a reason why i won't give it to them.

    Only the ones I have noticed on the aliens go gorgs, it's easier not to be noticed on a server a skulk I guess.

    Scottish people are funny because the get mistaken for people like me who are Irish and they hate that loads lol. They also hate being referred to as English as do the Irish. We are a happy bunch here in the UK.
