yeah, I was using this translation thing. Its pretty dodgey if you ask me, I'll avoid it from now on.
May I ask if you could translate it properly for me, Thralni?

With sport you mean support?

if so, then:
Ed: Iedereen, geef Thralni een applaus omdat hij zo'n goede steun is!
(Iedereen klapt)
Thralni: (Niet) bedankt Ed!

I'll say it like this: a Dutchman won't understand you. if you could say it in Enlglish, I can translate it for you to English.

What was it you wanted to say in that post anyway?

okay, that was a nice try to write Dutch, but I don't understand a thing of what you mean, sorry.

To be honest, also if I translate it to English I still don't see what you mean.

Yes, that's right, and these things also fit very well into Jeff's games, just not an enormous industrial society. I can't really imagine Mycroft shooting away his fireballs in a wrecked industrial zone, can you?

The aname, well, they weren't that strong, were they? I mean, did somebody actually do something to see where the roaches came from? No. they waited for you to come. In my opinion, if they wouldn't have waited for you, they could have done it themselves also.

I won't mind if he continues with magic. it is the one thing I respect in both Geneforge and Avernum engines. The graphics still deeply disturb me in geneforge engine based games, but he won't make new graphics, and I know it. industry things would just not really fit him i think, and to be perfectly honest, i can't imagine a world of magic, taking place in a by war wrecked industrial zone. I liked the Avernum world, and I still like it. In my opinion he doesn't have to make something new at all. What I DO want, is to see how other continents of the Empire (like Aizo) are, especially now that Avernum won't get attacked again by the empire.

The vahnatai should start resting again in their coffins, if its up to me, and Avernum should "spread its tentacles" (with my eye on Vlish). what do you know, maybe the next Avernum game will be about the trip a brave band of adventurers makes to aizo, and Avernum 5 will be about the discovery of Aizo (for avernum, that is).

Don't really count on me. At the moment I'm very busy with school, so although I only need to alpha-test (which is an EXTREME pain in the neck), it may take until the end of may before I get to the betatesting phase.

Just thought I'd say that, not to raise hopes.

After reading all this posts (funny how a topic just changes...), you will need to explain me what exactly makes "The Nephil tongue" (if this seems better) impossible to learn? Of course, there are things that have to be changed, I will, just not now, or any time before the next vacation, as I simply don't have time. Forexample, the pronunciation page isn't up to date anymore (not in a long run), and the nouns page will have to change too. The Nephil tongue is simply different from the Slith tongue. the main difference is its basic structure: nominative accustaive for the Slith, while ergative absolutive for the Nephil, and of course the use of suffixes. For as far as I can see, I see only two things that may make the Slith language easier, but one enormous reason to make it onlu more tedious to learn (exactly the reason why I stuck (Spelling anybody?) to suffixes:

Good things:

- It is more like indo-European languages, which undoubtfully will make understanding for most people easier, I agree with that completely.

- The fact that every sort of word and gender has its own typical conjugation will also make things easier.

Bad things:

- Every sort of word or gender has its conjugation. This makes it for me only more tedious to want to learn it. I have to same problem with Latin: there are so many small irregularities and stems, that they have five different conjugations for the nouns, plus three more for neuter and female in two other groups (one group has the two combined).

This is exactly why I wanted suffixes. I read about Hurrian and these isolated languages, looked at the words, then the suffixes at the end of rach word, looked them up in a book filled with grammar, and I had translated some words in Hurrian.

These were of course not very complicated words, but nevertheless I did. I was immediatly attracted by the suffixes, as they seemed just dead simple for me. Just have some different words, stick a suffix behind it for gender, and then one for the case, and there is your first noun, instead of having to learn about 50 different forms for each type of stem, 90 for the words "this" and "that."

This was my motive to take on suffixes. But just as Alo said, and I greatly respect him for saying that, it will take time for me and help from outside before I can succesfully complete it. However, I did make these two mistakes:

- Assume that people would maybe like the idea, but then would want to translate it is something completely different.

- Put the webpage up so soon. I should have waited until I was feeling comfortable with what I did. On the other hand, Slarty and kelandon helped me in a very good way with improving the grammar and such.

I'm sure the "nephilian genitive" is something that people will remember here for a long time :)

If I may expand on the "Why?" that Dikiyoba gifted me with, let me point out that including things like a word for "noob" -- things that don't make sense and should not exist -- is exactly why Nephilian is not believable as a language.
I included it for the script okay? in the real language of course there is no word for noob for it. Oh crap. I answered "yes" to Infernal's question if they have noobs. That should actually be "no."

Though I don't understand why it should make it unbelievable? What exacrly is the relation between words and grammar in this matter? or do you mean the relation between folk and language?

EDIT: I was just thinking, did you think nephilian wasn't believable when I first started the project too, or did you not think about it then? how about the Slith language? That is just as believable as nephilian, in my opinion.

EDIT 2: infernal, you're right about that. I'' try to ignore him.

Could the chat of the 10th be on the 11th? On the 10th I have orchestra rehersal, to which i have to go. As this is the only chance I see at the moment of getting to join in, and this chance would probably not be there only after a few weeks, please take this into consideration.

No, leave it. Just talk to him for a few weeks. A few weeks back I was in the same position as you infernal, also trying to defend him. Note the difference between now and a few eeks back.
