[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Byrd Man]

I'll be sure to lay it on thick next time.

Alright, my post is coming in good so far. I am currently going to explain the history and origins behind the invasion. So, it might be awhile before I post something, but it will be a good post (I hope).

For no reason I found myself reading on the Bantu languages and their noun structure is amazing.

Like forget German verb conjugations, that's easy in comparison to the fucking 13 pre-fixes that are attached to words in the Bantu languages.

A book I am reading had a glossary of Ethiopian terms, so I stole it and mixed it with some others I knew to create my own glossary in my Character Sheet. With the African war on and more people involved there, these might be useful. I'll try to expand it as I go along.

Sounds good.

As per my end it's mostly curiosity on my part. Although curiosity that'll pay off later. I have plans that'll put Chinese characters in the Congo so knowing some Bantu terms and structure is nice. On top of that for another RP I got myself set up in the Congo so knowing some of this fun will help me do localization things since the primary perspective characters thus far aren't necessarily Bantu-speakers.

Reiteration of words in the Bantu languages is fun too. Basically the word for "stabing" can be reiterated to mean, "Attack" or "war". So "Stab stab" translates to "to attack, to [go to] war" or something. And then there's a word that has no meaning on its own unless said twice to mean "chaos".

[Vilageidiotx]

Right on. Be aware though that French would be more common there among everybody in the city though.

I realize that. But as far as I'm concerned for Precipice most of what I'd be doing might end up in the jungles anyhow. But for the other RP I got that covered in-lore.

Cool then.

On the same topic, the Fallout 4 main theme was released and it's great.

Googer finally got his shit together and made a character sheet for Spain. I've included a fairly detailed section on the locations of Spain's military units, which might be helpful for everyone as the rest of the world gets dragged into the African conflict.

For those of you who care about space: NASA just announced there is flowing water on Mars. I was telling Googer yesterday how cash-money it'd be if we found flowing water, thinking the announcement would be some underwhelming crap, but nah, they found fuckin' water ladies and gentlemen.

[Vilageidiotx]

Now time to bottle that shit and sell it in vending machines.

Mars water: brought to you by Mars, Inc. Holder of the Snickers and the Mars bar (rip).

[Pepperm1nts]

That was quick.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I should get off my ass and write more about Macau.

[Pepperm1nts]

I ain't one to talk but you should also get to writing for that thing that I'm less and less certain will ever actually become a thing. It would have been the way to get the bitches but we blew it. Except Vilage, he dun good.

[Vilageidiotx]

Where have all the posters gone?

I'm working on my post now.
