mikker Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 i mean that if you create a forum for those, it would mean that you could post pictures/movíes in there from other stuff then xenocide. Though i dunno if that could just as well be done in the offtopic itself. SVP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breunor Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Bad Nyyperoid! Besides, you mean he studied a little LATIN if you're going to go down that road... I can see it now, as all our "cunning linguists" line up to embarass themselves... Here's a suggestion for forums Stew, why not break the laboratory down into some groupings? Perhaps Laboratory UI Changes Geoscape Changes Battlescape Changes Baseview Changes Weapons and Armor Aliens etc Just something to reduce the number of threads per forum, and help people find those ideas we've discussed a dozen times before yet another thread is created...

Puasonen Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 After thinking about what you said for a while, I have to admit that if you tried to embarass me somehow, I don't undestand how. Maybe it's my stupidity or lack of english skills but I don't get it.. And I liked that: " I can see it now, as all our "cunning linguists" line up to embarass themselves..."

Perhaps Laboratory UI Changes Geoscape Changes Battlescape Changes Baseview Changes Weapons and Armor Aliens etc Just something to reduce the number of threads per forum, and help people find those ideas we've discussed a dozen times before yet another thread is created...As I recall I asked about this a while back (maybe in The Corner Office or maybe in The Lounge, I forget) and the answer was no. Perhaps this needs to be revisited? Okay let me see if I’ve got this right, Jenny says:S'il vous plâit, which literally means "if you please". J’ordos says:I always believed it was "s'il vous plaît", though maybe I'm wrong The difference being where (I forget the official name of it, in school we called it “The Hat” or “The Carrot”) thing goes; on the “a” or on the “i”.

Robo Dojo 58 Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Just something to reduce the number of threads per forum, and help people find those ideas we've discussed a dozen times before yet another thread is created...I agree wholeheartedly. I'm new to the project, and I'm already lost admist the masses of forums. I've also had trouble with threads titled "Just a little of your time" when there were about 10 of them. It sucks when "Just a little time" becomes an hour of searching. Perhaps they should be renamed, so casual skimmers and noobs alike would know what they were about? Just my 2 cents.

Puasonen Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I agree.. Topics like "I have a problem" should be renamed to respond the content so it would be easier to others to find the answer to the same problem. Finally some REAL work to forum moderators! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Which forums are you talking about? I looked at the laboratory, but almost all threads there are named properly (I guess 'some thoughts' and such are not very informative, but you can hardly include the entire list of things they brought up in one line ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Arguing about where to stick your Carrot to impress a girl, tsk tsk tsk!Now you got out of line :: Not really. My theory is that "Jenny" is actually a 350 pound man who works as a butcher in Antwerp. The pictures of "Jenny" are just of some cute girl he found on internet. We're all being duped. Anyway, I've created some new forums under Off Topic. As for the missions, I've adjusted the names and descriptions of the saved game forums to accomodate them (if the appropriate moderators would kindly move the mission threads, it would be appreciated).

The use of wasn't meant to point at you, sorry if you took it that way. I thought you were teasing LordT, and was putting my 2 cents in with some word play using homonyms of certain "latin terms".

j'ordos Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 The difference being where (I forget the official name of it, in school we called it “The Hat” or “The Carrot”) thing goes; on the “a” or on the “i”.Accent circonflex, you mean It is normally used where French used, several centuries ago, to have anS sound that later became silent. For instance, Old French "castel" = 'castle' became later "ca^tel" (and still occurs as such in NormanFrench, but that word continued to modify in Metropolitan French intomodern "cha^teau"). However, I don't know why the French used the particularshape of mark they did in order to record this particular property of words.Once the use of the circumflex for silent S had become established, in a small number of cases it was used in another way, just in order to make a visual distinction between words that sounded the same: for instance"du^" as past participle of "devoir" is written with a circumflex todistinguish it from "du" = 'of the', and in this case there never wasan S sound -- the circumflex is just added artificially. If you ask "why did the French want to mark S sounds at all, once theyhad disappeared?", I think one needs to realize that the kind of peoplewho took responsibility for developing standard rules for writing, severalcenturies ago, would all have been very conscious of the fact that Frenchwas a new, changed form of Latin, where the S's existed in every sense, sothey would have felt uncomfortable about writing nothing at all for the S's that were "really" there even if they had become inaudible. Puttingan accent was a sort of compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 It's hard to understand everything when you aren't reading your own language. Especially when I'm reading something which has been written by English or American.. Thank's for TV, games and internet for at least this knowledge I have now.. Oh and yes, I WAS teasing LordT, you're right! Just didn't quite understand your contribution to the conversation because it was too fine english for me.
