Lynneth Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yes, it means, esentially, a non-Japanese person, I believe. And nowadays, it's politically incorrect to use it See: The Wiki article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 No, merged nations cannot destroy the nations merging into it. That's not how I read it. If you ask me, the rule was abit ambiguous. And nowadays, it's politically incorrect to use itSee: The Wiki article Why am I not surprised... Personally, I really could care less if someone called me that...it IS true i'm not Japanese after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargun II Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Why am I not surprised... Personally, I really could care less if someone called me that...it IS true i'm not Japanese after all... And? I don't care what it means, I care that she's speaking Japanese on a majority-English forum and I'll be damned if I have to go and look up whatever she says.

King Kevz Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 And what gave you the idea that I was saying anything other than the explanation for what it means and how I personally felt about it?

Sumeragi Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Foreigner doesn't have the same impact as gaijin, given how the Neo Japs should be revolting by now. The giveaway of Japan never made much sense, which is why I'm helping Sarah do things realistically. That being said, I still believe in a reset of relations. Let's try to be civil.

King Kevz Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Forum rules are that post have to be in english. Yes a post not words. So if I typed a full post in another language then it would be wrong but one or two words should be ok. Also Sargun I am sure has read one or two other posts like Frost's in French etc and never complained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Nova Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Forum rules are that post have to be in english. I've posted a few times with words in Russian. I think that those that want to post in another language, just provide a translation so people can stop their complaining about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumeragi Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Posts almost completely written in a foreign langange without translations are forbidden. That waswhy Frost got warned while Martens or I never get warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargun II Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have seen others offer translations and Frost was banned over not posting in English, I daresay I should be complaining to him while he's down. In any case, I'm not saying she has to do something, I'm saying that having to go look up a key word in a sentence is annoying when it takes the exact same amount of time to simply write the English version.

Lynneth Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 In CNRPS, I had several posts with german text - but I always provided translations, so people could respond accordingly. Just throwing that in, for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargun II Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) No, merged nations cannot destroy another nation they are attacking in war without that persons permission. Sucks for you. Any rules that discriminate against a certain group of people I will just consider to be in the same vein as "I don't like you so I'm going to make it harder on you" rules.

I see it as meaning when merging, if you leave CNRP that part you contributed to a merge leaves too.

LeVentNoir Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 You didn't answer my question. (I phrased it wrong I think ) So merged nations cannot be destroyed by other nations? A merged nation is vulnerable to outside attack yes. And it can be utterly destroyed. Where as a nation attacked from outside by a merged one cannot. I believe the question is: We can't roll over other nations with tanks anymore? You can, unless you are a merged nation. Its called game balance. Also LVN, check the neo tokyo times thread. It is waiting for your presence. People are getting up in arms about me 'picking' on you. You have nothing, and even if you did, you have no permission. Don't derail this thread, just sit down and shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I like how you just managed to ignore RP realities. You asked for links, I provided them. Ready to ignore the evidence before your eyes?

Voodoo Nova Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Go read what Stormcrow wrote.You can't destroy your own nation, can't destroy other peoples nations Actually, you read what he said After careful consideration, mergers are back on the table. Although fine-tuning is still going on, the basic rule of thumb is:1. No roleplaying another person's military 2. Can't kill of their players. 3. Can't end their countries (as in destroy them) 4. Have either a historic, logical, regional, or very well roleplayed reason to them. Look at #3. They can't end their own nations. THEIR. Let me repeat it one more time. THEIR nations. There is nothing about asking permission to destroy someone else, there is no way you can interpret as such. Good thing I went back to actually read the wording of what Stormcrow wrote.

Stormcrow Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 No. This is not going to continue. I see nothing but chaos and screaming matches, and alot of rudeness, as though I'd never told any of you to play by the respect policy. This thread is locked, and until a well written suggestion is sent to myself or Spock, my previously stated rules about merged nations are the only ones that are going to fly. GMs: Telling someone to shut up is not only a poor representation of yourself, but of the Staff members who elected to place you in a position of authority. If you believe we have matters to fix, send a detailed pm to myself, Spock, and HK47, and we will discuss this together away from this forum.
