The OOC Hangout Thread (New people introduce yourself here!)

[Tanakietsu]

In order to save myself the grief of always editing posts I'll just post my idea in a second post, which is in no way a double post. A while back I used to have my own little slab of heaven in the OOC subforum. I am thinking of either reviving or creating a new one with the same general purpose: me being me and owning the pants. wahmbulance Like a feminist rant column in the local newspaper. Some-time soon probably.

You think you're ancient? cool

Edit: I'm getting tired of bringing this up. Last time - I swear.

xp You ONLY beat me by a month or so...XD, Mr. Captain #2!

How are you? surprised  

[Electric Kool-Aid]

It'd be for any language it's so that you yourself can practice and that's why the english translation at the bottom...but I'm still thinking about it...*kicks it around for a bit more* I really do want to do it but it'd be slower than most and I'm afraid it'd get second paged really easily...

*pokes Kyou* Welcome back!  

[xXKyousukeXx]

I'm all for multilingual, as long as it uses basic roman alphabet(english letters), since many computers may not be able to support certain foreign fonts(namely me, with most languages). It needs to be Unicode, in short...or romanized. (eg. Japanese, Chinese etc. would be do-able but in Romanization)

So we don't get a bunch of boxes... evil

(Thankies!!! Glad to be back!!)  

[PFDiva]

Boxes are bad, but that's a really cool idea. I would totally join, EKA. Maybe we should start with a miniature on in the OOC section, to see how people take to it, or just make the plot very basic?  

[Gale OverDrive]

Yeah, I'd like to take up that multilingual RP challenge. Go random brain farts!

I'm not really worth a lot, probably an estimated 500k at most.

*gluggle Cobalt*

Hmmm . . .I need sugar . . .

I'm faring alright, since last we spoke many things have happened - I am now living in Italy with my girlfriend and daughter. How have you been mon capiton numero 3? And don't forget. I'm still the reason you were able to join a month later. heart

i totally want to do a multilingual RP! and even if you don't know a second language well enough, you could just use google translator. it's the best thing in the world.
(in case you don't know how to use it, go to google homepage. then go to language tools. scroll down and it should be pretty obvious where you type it in. you select what language you're writing in and what language you want it translated to and it does it! neato!)
Examples:
French- Votre bébé est beau. Il doit être adopté.
Portugese- Saio do meu carro, e levar essas máquinas de lavar roupa com você!
Chinese (Simplified)-这个香蕉是坚持了我的鼻子。
(Traditional)-這個香蕉是堅持了我的鼻子。
Dutch- De lift is kapot. Heb je een vriend?
Italian- Io non apprezzare la stalked in questo momento. Vi preghiamo di riprovare più tardi.
Korean-나는 내 자녀의 손실이 부 가가 치세. 물고기가 그것을 밖으로하시기 바랍니다.
Japanese-この冷蔵庫の移動手伝ってくれました。

they are not all the same sentance, mind you  

[PFDiva]

I know my baby is cute--he doesn't have to be adopted! *cuddlesqueezes my teddybear* And part of the point of a multilingual RP would be to practice your language skills. Also, I don't know if you know this, but a lot of times, things are either translated too literally or not literally enough. And I plan on translating my posts literally, then how they're meant to be read.  

[Mou]

Eeh I don't know languages well enough to produce anything interesting, but it'd be fun to read some french posts to brush up my french (if I would write them they'd look really funny xD). But I love the idea!

I haven't really RPed too many males yet, should really try it... but *shrug*

*tries the tektek thingy* ninja

Welcome back Kyo heart

And what a pace they're releasing the cash shop items with eek I have a feeling that sooner or later all new items will be cash shop items and everything will cost money on Gaia. Blegh.  

[AlwynRowanwind]

i doubt it gaia was made on it being free thats why ppl like it  

[Electric Kool-Aid]

Alright! I'll set it up this afternoon! It'll just have a really basic plot like your completely typical tavern scene type thing that everyone's done a zillion times...As for avoiding red boxes of doom, I'd say as best you can use the roman alphabet. Later I might write a post out by hand in hiragana/katakana and scan it in as an image, but other than that *shrugs*  

[Tanakietsu]

Doop doop de-doop.  

[xXKyousukeXx]

XD Lots of welcoming!

PLEASE don't use google translator...if you're going to be a part of the multilingual, I recommend that you use something you are personally familiar with. The main reason being Google Translator SUX! Horrible translation...especially with anything BETA....I mean, dialects can easily be translated, it's just a matter of making sense. A figure of speech in one language won't necessarily make sense in another... sweatdrop

I've really only got Full french and some Japanese, although I could hold my own enough in it... eek razz  

[Magni Prime]

Indeed . . . the russian phrase "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" once went through a translation program to become "The vodka is good, but the meat is rotten."

Though if you are not careful, this could become the 'We speak more than you do club.' sweatdrop
