Remember Sofia! Remember Sofia!

Not a nice life from the sounds of it

P.S Stop sleazing up to the GM

You stop trying to hurt other people's feelings!

 

[Arminius]

Everyone please be advised:

After this coming deadline, there will be a pause for ambuel's vacation. Being that she will return on the 16th, we shall reopen diplomacy that day.

Maps, Maps, Get Your Maps.

Silly German, you just committed suicide boy

 

[ambuel]

Sorry, but I am the "Matron", not happy about that, of Honor for a friend getting married in Key West, FL, in one week. I know, tough assignment. I do have to give a speech suitably embarassing about the bride, my best friend. Sorry to throw an monkey wrench into the pace of our game.

 

[Keirador]

It appears Italians shall not be in the city much longer, but while out soldiers are there, we're taking the song. It's one of my favorite marches. . .

Allons enfants de la Patrie!
Le jour de gloire et arrive. . .

Except, the "Patrie" in question is officially Italy.

 

[Dreadnought]

And that translates into...

 

[Taliesin]

(Let us) Advance, children of the fatherland!
The day of glory is come.

PS kitten: I refuse to be victimised by your denial of my victimhood and the hypothetical consequent failure of my self-actualisation.

 

[Keirador]

As its a song it doesn't translate literally very well, but approximately:

Arise (Though "go" is a more literal translation), children of the Fatherland!
The day of glory has arrived.
Against us tyranny's bloody standard is raised!
The bloody standard is raised.
Do you hear in the country-side
the ferocious groans (howls) of the soldiers?
They are coming into our arms (into our midst; in English "into our arms" sounds too friendly).
To slit the throats of your sons and countrymen!

To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions!
March, march!
Their impure blood shall water our fields! (that one is a pretty liberal translation)

EDIT: damn you you scene-stealin' bastard.
i'll one up you by translating the first verse and refrain

 

[Dreadnought]

Ah, I learned something new today!

 

[Keirador]

Its a good song. Download it. Its called "La Marseillaise".

 

[Keirador]

I will be touring London and Rome from April 13th to April 21st; and more likely than not I shall be devoid of internet access. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes. I would like to keep playing, but I also recognize that other players will not be keen on delaying the game for me. I submit it to a vote whether I should be replaced during this time period or whether an extension be granted for me.

 

[Taliesin]

I vote for an extension.
I also wish to make plain my deep jealousy.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

(Let us) Advance, children of the fatherland!
The day of glory is come.

PS kitten: I refuse to be victimised by your denial of my victimhood and the hypothetical consequent failure of my self-actualisation.

A lying victim, who turns others into victims...seems unlikely.

A callous aggressor against England from the word go, that seems a more appropriate label, with your unconcealed thirst for fleets who'd have no other target other than England!

I'm the victim here

 

[Dreadnought]

Depends...

What is extension's political party? I need to know so I do not vote democrat.

I VOTE EXTENSION!

And I am not old enough to vote

 

[Keirador]

Have we that most rare of species, a youthful conservative?

 

[Dreadnought]

Have we that most rare of species, a youthful conservative?

I resent that mark!





I notice that now I mostly end my posts and pms with a wink....
