of cores there are old flamers to :) whit experience bought in flaming and playing :) but just a few :) | ||||
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. | ||||
I see... | ||||
@ Palpatine | ||||
dropkick if i remember correctly you are australian :) i am from Romania so we two are not Filipino :) | ||||
excuse me Mr. Palpatine, from what country are you? | ||||
Hohenheim calm down, don't get rattled because Palpatine does speak the truth, quite an interesting post actually, i certainly found it a good read.
Stop giving us your hard luck stories, yes it may be hard but there are a whole lot of other things that have happened to people here in this game that are a lot worse, perhaps you should contemplate that.
The topic here is that MAD were dishonourable, maybe not Aloysius who has obviously no control over his KD but whoever was incharge of the Talents section, they should be booted from the KD if Aloysius wants to show that MAD do intend to play honourably. | ||||
it was me and it was because i was alone :P | ||||
lol thank you for proving my point Hohenheim. People are diverse and yes there are many dialects, I mentioned about north and south and cebu, for example. So it is not arrogant in the least to expect a vast range of English amongst your members. The fact this doesn't occur is what is interesting. The country I currently reside in(until I move in 2 weeks) is not particularly relevant, but is Uzbekistan. | ||||
Mr. Hohenheim | ||||
Damn this "Crab Mentality"! | ||||
This forum is getting booorrrriiinnng | ||||
Maybe - so I'm sorry I just deleted my post before sending ;-). | ||||
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. | ||||
dropkick how old are you? i got a A in that :P COVER YOUR BREASTS SHYLOCK IS AROUND lol | ||||
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. | ||||
My history with MAD extends far beyonds yours in this game, as I have previously stated what they did last era. just like the last game we played, it is always fun to spot such characters. | ||||
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... | ||||
are you sure your a teacher? correction: are you sure your a teacher?<< Should be " Are you sure you're a teacher?" I am currently English Teaching - do you mean English teacher? Continuous tense is fine. It is not stating my profession, rather what I am doing currently. My profession is Linguistics. My trade was Electronic Warfare Linguist in the Navy and I had to be able to tell the difference between a javanese and a sumatran accent, a moscow/volga region/far east accent and also determine if illegals were from Afghanistan,Iran or Iraq(or pretending to be from none of these), so I would say I am reasonably qualified to comment. I have a BA in European Languages(Russian), currently studying a Masters of Applied Linguistics and I am also studying Uzbek and the Turkic language group.
