WAAAGH!!! Da EB!!!!

[Maion Maroneios]

Hmmm, this thread is starting to irritate me. Seriously. No offense here to anyone in particular, but I hate it when people rape the English language. At least write correctly, else don't do so at all. This forum is quite serious, and I was delighted to see there are not many trolls, major spammers and soft porn-oriented material here. But what I like most, is the fact that many people are quite smart and educated here, and bother to write correct English. Please, don't ruin this.

Quoted for truth.

[Duguntz]

Everyone please calm down. Don't we dare to destroy our royal language to let dwell into it the dark tantacules of stupidity, such as using a ''z'' instead of a ''s'' to the word boys, or to insult the 9 muses, especially Eutherpe, muse of the arts, when, we write ''da'' at the place of the only correct article ''the''. Who would dare saying ''Choppa'' instead of the noble and worthy word ''axe''. Friends, knowledge thirsty fellow, how we dare? Destroying a language that our forefathers die protecting, forcing it to the rest of the world by the noble sport of military conquest of Africa, India and America,
killing those who, sinfully, would prefer to keep their barbaric dialect such as French, Indian, and all other worthless tribalish sounds from Chile to Alaska, except, Mighty England. When I think about it, brothers, replacing that God given way of communication by mewling and growling, bring tears to my eyes. We are insulting Shakespeare, my brothers!

(You do actually realise that all this have been written by a seperatist french-canadian who say SCREW YOU to the english Crown hmmm? )

OK, you might find this funny but I don't. If you like the sorry state in which we've brought ourselves in not only in matters such as proper language but many others as well (which go straight to the core of the human society and its eminent disintegration), then that's fine by me. But don't expect me to just sit here watching you do your "thing". I've grown enough sick of this watching my little brother use Greeklish instead of Greek (and using "i"s everywere instead of "oi", "y", "ei" etc.), as well as apply several of what we call "barbarisations" of our language for example. I just hoped I would't see the same things over here as well. Especially from people which I would consider educated and, at least, intelligent.

[Duguntz]

How comes that languages subished so much evolution since their apparition? It's because people judged, by the time's standard, stupid invented new words, changed the orthograph, and so on. If it would not be form those stupid ''ignorants'', you would still speak ancient greek and I don't know what I would speak because french would not exist! So nobody need to be insulted because of the ''degradation of language'' i mean, actually, I win my life by writing poetry... That dosen't mean that because sometime I feel free to write ''uncorrect'' french or english that I'm automaticly destroying the base of their gramatical rules forever!
So Maion, I respect your opinion about the degradation of Human's society, and also share it, but no one needs to climb on a too big horse... meaning : wow, calm down!

Cheers!

[The General]

The Jerman Club Boyz have that nice low tech(even by EB standards) but still somehow effective. If only they came in green and red and retarded.

Finally! I wondered how no one linked these guys before, as they're pretty obviously one of the most "WAAAGHH!"-est units around - no armour, a few pointy sticks to throw at the 'umies from afar and a proper choppa to maul one's enemies in mêlée.

Considering this thread was intentended to be HUMOROUS, you're acting in a pretty darn partykillerish manner. I myself write almost exclusively in proper English/Finnish/etc. unless intent on bringing about a humorous reaction within the audience, but the time and place to defend proper language is somewhere else, sometime else, imho, than in this thread. Or, 'tleast, ought to be, as far my opinion is considered.

Also, I presume you have not exactly acquainted with the WH40k/WHFB fantasci-fi world and the Orckin that reside within, eh?

[Maion Maroneios]

*Sigh*

I didn't expect any positive reaction here anyway. I was just considering the fact that maybe someone would have the prestige and ethical posture to actually understand this was going way out of hand. And I may be too rough on this, but I don't remember any other occassion during which a thread fell so down (OK, maybe except the ones where I bashed about Makedonia, but I did apologise for those instances). After all, I don't see what Orcs and all those idiotic creations of some crazy person's imagination have to do with EB?

The tavern (in both of its incarnations)?

a) What does Bartix have to do with anything? Afair Bartix even had a joke unit card in the game files at one point...

b) "Idiotic creations of some crazy person's imagination"?
You seem to have some big antipathies towards folk/fantasy creatures...

Also, the orcs were reintroduced to the modern society by the good ol' J.R.R., who as far as I know did not suffer from any sort of mental illness or suchlike.

I fear the thread is derailing, but to express my opinion; I do not oppose the EB forums having humoristic threads aside more formal ones discussing game features, new ideas et cetera. Those not in a mood for a more light-hearted conversation need not participate, and may instead focus on the more serious threads.

[Duguntz]

Mee Sweboz happy crushing heads of Umies with club boyz and choppa boyz while no wearing what umies call ''clothes''!!! THE TAVERN!!! The favourite place of all swebii worthy of the name! For shakespearians discussion, wich i'd be very interessed to take part in, another thread is welcome! Here, as The General pointed out, it's a Humoristic thread to present Units worthy of Gork and Mork (just to reming the real topic!) and a topic of Choppa and Cutta, completly part of that topic, while dregadation of human condition, although very interesting, IS NOT part of this topic!

The General, you're the friend of Duguntz! come to the dark side of the WAAAGH!!!

Congratulations, you have had a "sense of humour failure", go read up on Warhammer 40K.

[Ghaust the Moor]

Wow, that is a pretty F*****d up conversion

[Ghaust the Moor]

Ok. We are using this speak because, this game(warhammer 40,000) has a group called the orkz. Their two gods are gork and mork. The orkz also speak as if they have really heavly drawlling southern U.S. accent. We are just speaking as if we are getting into the story. Read some of the books and you'll understand.

Do not talk about the Tavern! The Tavern is a sacred place, a sanctuary.

And Tolkin was a complete freak, totally mad person. Which sane man would invent entire new languages, with grammar rules and everything?

[Watchman]

A scholar of languages by profession ?

J.R.R.T was a really bored and imaginative man. What else was a scholar to do when siting in a F***ing trench for most of ww1. He was a brilliant scholar of linguistics and if you think he is a madman, you are entitled to your opinion. Just don't tell the rest of that like him that we are stupid for such. If you are, take your shit somewhere else, so we don't have to smell it.

[Maion Maroneios]

Getting a bit touchy about our beloved fictional writer, are we Ghaust? You dissapoint me, really. As brilliant as one might be, if he looses connection with reality I consider him a madman, yes. Spending almost your entire life dedicated to "creating" a world of fantasy were "orks" and "elves" live, "inventing" whole new languages for them and the like seems like enough evidence he had a screw missing. Don't take me wrong, he probably was brilliant. Just not the type of guy I'd spend even a minute with. This includes all people that spend hours and hours behind a computer screen, getting hard-ons with digital women and being the people they always wanted to be but never could (actually never tried) in their real lives. And oh, I know plenty of those. This, of course, also applies to the bookworms that spend ridiculus amount of time reading fantasy, locking themselves in their protective shell and dreaming of this "perfect" world forever.

Your response above copied my thoughts verbatim.

[Watchman]

Um, may I ask where exactly Tolkien is supposed to have "lost touch with reality" given that he was writing fantasy...? His business if he wanted to invent a whole new language or two to go with the story... at least he knew how to, on account of his academic career.

[Maion Maroneios]

I didn't say it's wrong or anything, I just consider those people at least eccentric.

One, could say the same about us. We sit on the computer all day coming up with histories that never happened. We invent stories for what happens on a VIDEO GAME!!! If you want to get technical, what we do is worse. At least what he did was worth something. He contributed to the world, all we do is entertain the few people (In comparrison with the world) that visit this sight. I don't care that you don't like him. You have that right. I just can stand the fact that you go on this website and act like you can criticize peoples methods of writing in their own languages. It this their words, let them spell them how they want. I am not trying to make enemies with you, I am just saying be more accepting of people trying to have fun. It is a freakin website for gods sake. Go be an english teacher instead of a phycisist since you are master of the english language.

Oh, he did not invent languages for the elves, orcs and other such races he had come up with.

He invented races (and their related histories) for the languages he had come up. Big difference.

He was a linguist, after all, y'know, and a folklore enthusiast.

Also, all this while he had a succesful career as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and later English language and literature in Oxford, and also had a succesful, life-long marriage with his beloved Edith, with whom he had no less than four children.

The elven languages and the whole Middle-Earth shebang was but a hobby to him. I fail to see how exactly he lead a pathetic non-life.

It's the internet, I'm afraid - it's only a matter of time before someone decides it's time to end the party and/or bring in the hate.

Good, good, a meter-long blade is always nice to skewer into one's opponent's body.

Also, a variation of the marauding club-wielding Jerman:


WAAAAAAAAAGHH!

"Oomans are pink and soft, not tough and green like da Boyz. They'z all the same size too, so they'z always arguing about who's in charge, 'cos no way of telling 'cept fer badges an' ooniforms and fings. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it. Wot a lot of mukkin' about if yer asks me. An' while they'z all arguing wiv each other over who's da boss, da Orks can clobber da lot"

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned these choppa' boyz:

WAAAGH!!!

[sqeecoo]

...such stuff as madmen tongue, and brain not.

[Duguntz]

Hmmm, as i said earlier, I win my life presently with my poetry. I write symbolist poetry (as Verlaine and Rimbault) following the movement of the ''cursed poetes'' from 19th century. Symbolist, meaning, everything is suggested, not said, that the perfumes aren't smelled anymore, they're tasted... It's an example of the mixing of the sens that we use in the form of poem. Now because we mixed the sens, the odours, the colours, to suggest what rationnal and logical thinking cannot conceive, dosen't mean that we're mental nor anything else... I'd rather qualify this as superior understanding of the subtilities of languages as we're able to uses the words as we want... The same with J.R.R It's not because logical or rational thinking cannot concieve that elfic is a language (now as complete as french or english, with gramatical rules and exception) or that Orcs are an absurdity, dosen't mean that the man was absurd... Let's say that he was artistic, with an actual artistic way of thinking. I can't myself get use to think rationally (surely because I passed all my life in artistic context) and...

damn... i stop here. Why do we talk about this here hmmm? if we really wanna continue that conversation, let's open a topic about that or by PM, but that thread is funny and I don't want it closd just because we're not agree on humanity's future and the conception of rationality vs Imagination.

We're all friends and Intelligent, let not destroy that topic that by that way ok!

BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE

Satalexon I love you , really sorry to disturb the topic like that... Just... don't send the Choppa Boyz after us... We're only poor umies after all..
