Forums / In game politics / MAD Traitors

I DO find MAD quite fascinating. My profession is Linguist, although I am currently English Teaching. According to many, most members of MAD originate out of the Phillipines. We have a lot of Phillipinos in my own country and being a fan of basketball(their national sport) consider many as good friends. I am also aware of the variations between north and south and various other areas such as cebu. I have visited the Phillipines as well.

Phillipinos generally speak,particularly in the north, excellent English. There is a bias towards North American English over British and the odd mistake due to their spanish and tagalog mixed origin.

What is incredible about MAD is they universally make identical errors in their spelling and word order, that you wouldn't even get even from the same school(let alone country) somewhere else. They all match the same condescending tone in their language choice also. This would mean that members of MAD are likely to be of similar or same age, attended the same schooling with similar level of results(no high achievers all got the same marks etc) and parental upbringing was near identical. The odds of such an occurrence, with so many members, is very small indeed. Throwing some university students together, for example, from various areas would give far more variance in language than displayed by this kingdom.

So as a linguist, listening to MAD is an interesting exercise.

@ Palpatine
u must b really good at english 2 notice that. do u wanna do my assignment 4 me lol
we r doing a dramatic monolouge on the book the merchant of venice by shakespear.

excuse me Mr. Palpatine, from what country are you?

you might know Philippines, but you haven't live here. You haven't been in streets perhaps, nor visit a classroom and watch the students how they learn. And Philippines have about 30 (approx) different dialects. So stop discriminating us. arrogant.

Also, if you are referring about Mr. Darkz, hes not a Filipino, hes a european. And we doesn't care if hes English are not good as long as we understand.

it was me and it was because i was alone :P

Elldorian was attacked and thought MAD broke the NAP. Because this idiot thought we will give back his lost cities.
And when he attempt to take it back, he was attacked and we are the traitors..

@Ell
pls reply to this.. Give us a copy of your conversation to any MAD councils that tells the returning of your lost cities are allowable.

Because I believe there is no way a Kingdom(especially MAD) will just give back the war spoils to its former enemy after a NAP agreement.

wtf is this guy on.

you said you would give back bridge. ONE city.not all of them you retard.

This forum is getting booorrrriiinnng

ok so now i understand that Milk (MAD member) attacked IoK first so elldorian took over bridge so milk could not enter elldorians area. then elldorian took over Chwaa two (my city) as a retalliation 2 milks attacks.

so for every1 that thinks that the person controlling talents shud b booted u shud go away cause it was Milk that attacked and Milk new that there was the MAP because Ryan sent a whole kd message to every1.


@palpatane u never answered if u wud do my assignment 4 me lol :P

So mr. Palpatine. It looks to me like you are using fine words to make accusations of multis. Being a linguist and finding identical spelling errors etc. I realise that there is alot of hinting in your post. However being a linguist i assume that this is part of your trade. I just want to know 2 things.

1. Why are you making those accusations ?
2. what interest do you have in this conflict.

anyways, we are waring mad atm and so far its a splendid war. the beauty of war is that you dont have to worry about all the dishonor whines that comes up on the boards as the war is on :-)

are you sure your a teacher?
corrections:

I am currently English Teaching - do you mean English teacher?

We have a lot of Phillipinos - it's Filipinos

I have visited the Phillipines as well. - it's Philippines



Note: many of MAD members that post here are not Filipinos... so i should say, know 1st who are the Filipinos then that's the time you observe their posts...

...now that you are done comparing sizes, you could get back on topic :)
