Using a different language to make alliances

[Killer]

This should be considered cheating as they are in essence not communicating their alliances to all the players if everyone does not understand their language. Check out game #7670

[Marvaddin]

I didnt know we had an official language... but, seriously, we should. Lack can add this to rules.

[moz976]

can anyone figure out what language they are using? I'm just curious.

[johnnyrotten]

probably norwegian or something like that...

[Tobitob]

Please bear in mind that not the whole world is speaking english...

[Machine]

well if they can read the rules and instruction to play the game then then can speak english

IF WE SHOULD USE ANY LANGUAGE IT SHOULD BE CHINESE MANDARIN AS IT THE MOST COMMON LANGUAGE

I severely wish to insult you, but words cannot sum up just how annoying you can be.

BUT IT IS TRUE

[Pr0nstar]

Well, max, after reading your meaningful post I have to say that you are correct. However you do not seem to grasp the idea behind language.

Language is there to make it possible for people to communicate. This is why we seek to find a common ground so we can all understand eachother. Through the years man has found English, French and Spanish to be the languages used by most people. Not in numbers, but in demographics. Of these three English is the most common, and well known. Thus we should use english aswell.

Seeing as you are only a troll (and can hardly write/understand English), I really shouldn't write this, but you are also a child. Being a child you are more open to new ideas and ways of thinking.

Think, max. Think!

I only said it as he said make a common language most people in china probably don't have a computer or we would see more chinese sites on google

I can understand the frustration of not being able to comprehend what they are saying, but i do not think we should disriminate against them for using a skill/ability we dont all possess, how is that their fault? besides, how could it be enforced?

... Max, The People's Republic of China has more people with computers than any other nation on the planet (it's a matter of sheer numbers - population). I go there often, I'm not just talking out my arse here.

... CC is unknown there as of now. But, if it comes to be known, we may soon see hundreds of new players coming in here from the PRC.

... I'm in Japan at the moment, and I've been trying to introduce CC to a few people here. One small problem is that the chat board does not support Asian alphabets. When you type something in, you get this:

.... 意味分からない。 ..... and that's not helpful.

... Lack is a busy man. Maybe he'll get to this point after he's ironed out all his other stuff.

[Nobunaga]

... Hey, those letters came out OK here! It's just the Chat boards, I guess.

actually, english is practicaly the official language of the world. pretty much all america speaks english, most South america speaks english, some africans speak english, definately a lot of europeans speak english, Australians speak english, over half of the Asians speak english, and even the scientists in Antarctica speak english!

[Nobunaga]

..... Sure, English is the international standard language, but (in my humble opinion) players who cannot communicate in English should not be banned from CC, nor from using the chatboards, should their countrymen be playing in the same game.

[moz976]

I think that people should at least give the language that they are speaking in the chat window so that a traslator can be used to find out what they are saying. Otherwise this could be used to make secret alliances.

[cenamom]

or how about saying in english we have a truce from here to here....then they use their own language from there. and as for double etc. it shouldn't really matter
DIVERSITY PEOPLE DIVERSITY

[jpqs]

you can make secret alliances with a team member with: messenger e-mail private message etc...

so prohibiting to speak in other languages wouldn't be useful

[Famous Agent]

Yes but doing so is illegal.

[supermarcol]

not in doubles game. Also not everyone is having secret alliances with people they know. I'm way more interested in beating the crap of my friends in risk than havnig an alliance with them to take out another guy. But thats just me. So other languages in double games should definetly allowed. As for single games, I think it should be allowed, you can't restrict the language that is spoken, but it shouldn't be an excuse as to say that you did tell about your alliance, you can't expect everyone to speak your language. So I think it is allowed, but not an acceptable way to post your alliances. Just say it in english afterwards for everyone.

Have you ever been to South America?!?!?!?!?!? I guess not. Have you been travelling anywhere?!?!?! Asia?!? Europe?

Oh I hate that some people are truly thinking that everyone should speak english...
