@ UberKrux

I'm so glad to hear that there are really some amarican guy's, who uses a german word to be hip!

Actually there are the germans, who uses every english word wich seems to sounds cooler than the german one!

I don't know ..., but i think you actually means "Ãœber" or what ...

[Darekill]

@ nagash most certainly he means über but try to use an ü when there is none on your keyboard. It's the same with ä,ö and ß ........

[Jon Shafer]

Sorry, ü isn't very accessable on most American keyboards, so we got lazy and just used u instead.

[[DG]helios]

you can also write "ue" for "ü", so many germans will understand you...

[Jon Shafer]

True, but ueber just isn't as much fun as uber or über.

On a more significant note, are you guys almost ready? The game starts in just a few days, and contacting Markos about getting a forum, etc. would probably be a good idea.

btw Trip, VC only has 4 (official) members at the moment......

Any thoughts??

[Jon Shafer]

The official numbers are in their list, not who's already joined the group officially with the little link thingy.

as a representivite of america i say you change all your crazy umlauts (is that the word?) to something i can write easily on my keyboard, or teach me the command.



ueber? meh.

maybe you guys can help me on this one:

does KruX mean something in German? cause, i'm just refrencing the english word "crux", but whenever some german dudes see it (like, when i play Counter-Strike on a german server) they all start spouting german at me.

i tried to look it up one day and i think i got something with the crucifix. any ideas?

oh, and, you're going to die in this game. make no mistake about that

OH and another thing.

could you name your cities really awesome names? i love the way germans can merge like 14 words into one 47 letter word. so awesome.

well, thats it.

Like Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung?

[Inverse Icarus]

oh, and heres some Rammstein for you (yup, i'm so germano-hip )

Lauft!

Weil der Meister uns gesandt
verkünden wir den Untergang
der Reiter der Boshaftigkeit
füttert sein Geschwür aus Neid

Die Wahrheit ist wie ein Gewitter
es kommt zu dir du kannst es hören
es kund zu tun ist ach so bitter
es kommt zu Dir um zu zerstören

Weil die Nacht im Sterben lag
verkünden Wir den jüngsten Tag
es wird kein Erbarmen geben
lauft, Lauft um euer Leben

Die Wahrheit ist ein Chor aus Wind
kein Engel kommt um Euch zu rächen
diese Tage eure Letzten sind
wie Stäbchen wird es euch zerbrechen

and heres what i think it means (from my limited understanding of germany my grandfather tried to teach me). watch, i got something wrong and i really said "i'm a fairy" or something.

Run!

Because the master has sent us
We announce the downfall
of the riders of evil
Feed his ulcer of envy

The truth is like a thunderstorm
It comes to you, you can hear it
To proclaim it is so bitter
It comes to you in order to destroy

Because the night lay dying
We announce Doomsday
There will be no mercy
Run, Run for your lives

The truth is a chorus of wind
No angel comes to avenge you
These days are your last
It will break you like little sticks

If you are interested in writing Umlaute, here is the code (it's just html, I don't know ASCI or so), it's easy if you know how to do it:
ä is &.auml; (remove . between & and a)
you just have to learn & and ;, the a is easy because you want ä, and the uml is short for Umlaute. So the other codes are:
Ä &.Auml;
ö &o.uml;
Ö &O.uml;
ü &u.uml;
Ü &U.uml;

the last one, ß, is a bit strange. The code is &.szlig; but I don't know what the lig could mean. But the sz is clear, because the ß is called sz.

And before you ask: Yes, I was bored, I had something to do while I waited for dinner.

i love the way germans can merge like 14 words into one 47 letter word. so awesome.

"lig" is an abbreviation of "ligature", which means 2 letters "gluing" together. There are other ligatures, like æ (æ) or œ (œ).

I don't know about German, but 'Krux' is the Latin word for 'cross'.

crucifix is the cross with jesus, some very funny guys uses it as a swearword. but if crux is a short cut of crucifix dont ask me, but maybe...
