"Hypothetical" Question...

[andis-1]

All those who voted for alt-hist are now on my black book of doom...

 

[Insane_Panda]

alt-hist. Fresh starts are borang.

 

[JosefStalinator]

alt-hist. Fresh starts are borang.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[erez87]

Alt histories are boring even more.

 

[das]

NFS or NAH.

alt-hist. Fresh starts are borang.

Alt histories are boring even more.

To be entirely honest, it depends on the mod. Though I do agree that fresh starts are generally either boring, either awfully unrealistic, or even both.

 

[erez87]

Besides this is not a Fresh start, we want him to CONTINUE a NES!!!

 

[Azale]

Who is this "we"? I dont want him to do that, because that completely bucks his former policy of NEVER restarting anything. And I dont think NK will be motivated to mod it for long...

Alt-history or fresh start it is.

 

[Kozmos]

I detect low lifespans of NK's NES.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

'We' includes 'me'.

 

[erez87]

Wii!!! hehehe.. lol.. please NK I need my writing muse back

I'm sorry, but I must comment on something which does not relate to the topic whatsoever. I notice when you say either in a list, you say either, then either again.

[ex: Either Napoleon is victorious, either he is defeated.]

The correct grammatical form would be either, then an 'or either' added to that, or simply remove the either all together.

[ex: Either Napoleon is victorious, or either he is defeated.]
[ex: Either Napoleon is victorious, or he is defeated.]

Dont feel that I am cricitizing, I find the quirk funny, its just it kept bugging me

 

[JosefStalinator]

[ex: Either Napoleon is victorious, or either he is defeated.]


That sounds strange to me, I would just always say the latter. The second either seems unnecessary.

 

[Symphony D.]

I've noticed that for a long, long time but never really saw a need to point it out. It makes reading things das writes somewhat more colorful, if odd.

 

[das]

Heh. One of the (few, hopefully) times when it does show that English is my second language. Will try to pay attention to this from now on...

 

[Insane_Panda]

Your proficiency in english astounds me, are your parents fluent speakers aswell?

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, I noticed that "either" bit earlier...but it's not polite to correct grammar.

Also: yeah, das, having browsed "Celtic Peacekeepers" and seen your old posts, I must say that your grammar has always been pretty good. If not from having a lot of Internet experience, where do you get it? (It's my experience that English classes in other countries aren't that good...at least in Germany.)

 

[Insane_Panda]

Perhaps his parents are former KGB spies?

Well, my father is.

If not from having a lot of Internet experience, where do you get it? (It's my experience that English classes in other countries aren't that good...at least in Germany.)

Internet experience, plus English literature, plus Monty Python, plus my father, plus et cetera. English indeed seems to be suffering badly in both Israel and Russia.

 

[Kal'thzar]

I knew you watched monty python...the refrences were a bit numerous....

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, in retrospect, I guess they were. Pretty 1337, das.

But English lit? Hopefully English English lit, not American English literature. American writing is horrid...
