Re: [Audyssey] Games we'd like to play, Time of deciet
HI Dark, Ahem...Yeah, you mention the word faggot in America and you are liable to get your brains bashed out. That's because over hear the word faggot is a slang term for a homosexual man or woman. It is very very offensive to most people in America. So that's why people would get extremely upset if you use it. No matter how inocently you fraze it I can certainly imagine some very disgusting conotations of the word. I love faggots. I love eating faggots. Please, put the faggot in the fireplace. In their proper English context there is nothing wrong with it. However, if we take the American interpretation then everything I just said would have a totally different meaning than the one I had intended. Cheers!

Also as an amusing point, in nordic languages Hell just means hill, in fact there is a very famous station in Sweedan simply called hell station and lots of tourists have photos of the sign precisely for the reason you mention ;d. But I do take the contextual point, I was most surprised when i found Americans getting upset at the word faggot, which in England simply means a large bundle of firewood or, in the midlands where I'm from, an extremely tasty spicy meat dish similar to black pudding (the local butcher in Nottingham where my parents lives makes the most wonderful faggots).

Hi Darren, Lol! I think you just proved my point to Dark a second ago. Even though I know exactly what you meant taken from the American interpretation of the word faggot you just said you were a homosexual even though I know that isn't what you intended to say. Funny how language can be so easily twisted and misinterpreted from culture to culture. Cheers! On 3/12/11, darren harris darren_g_har...@btinternet.com wrote: I love faggots!

Re: [Audyssey] Games we'd like to play, Time of deciet
Indeed Tom. I was quite surprised when I first heard that Us term because of the difference in meaning. Just to be utterly confusing too, the term fag which I understand in the us can be a short form in the same context as faggot in the uk is simply a slang term ffor cigarettes. In fact in the web game improbable island where cigarettes are a major currency, there's actually a full disclaimer on the subject sinse they got British players talking about wanting more fags which obviously didn't sound right to americans and caused quite a lot of controversy.

Indeed Tom.

I imagine such a line would've caused huge problems in the us, but in a way it was sad it was missing sinse it might have shown people that the word is just a word and has totally different meanings in other contexts.

You can then channel these resources back into generating more vital units which can be used to capture more people's imagination with whacky game ideas. Which stratogy to follow? Will you opt for a costly but wild idea which is likely to sound impressive but be totally implausable? or will you go for a realistic idea which is more likely to capture more hard core teretory, but be less appealing in power of persuasion. this game can be played online, any time, against hundreds of opponents on the audeasy list, and leader boards will be held for those who manage to convince most people and gain the largest amount of is this a real game? responses.

Re: [Audyssey] Games we'd like to play, Time of deciet
Hi Dark, Oh, I see. I was just wondering why you mentioned language filters. Raul and I pretty much decided not to use them for the exact reasons you pointed out. Sometimes they are too restrictive, because as you pointed out some words people find offensive like hell, bitch, etc are perfectly fine put in their proper context. For instance, I've read a number of fantacy books were female werewolves are called bitches by the characters. In this context it is perfectly ok, because the word bitch simply means a female dog, wolf, etc. Calling a person a bitch, calling your former girl friend a bitch, etc is likely to result in your face getting slapped. In that context it isn't very nice or proper. Grin. Same goes with the word hell. Most people have this idea of a firy place underground were the devil lives, but that's not were the word originated. The word hell actually simply means a hole in the ground or grave which is, interesting enough, in keeping with old testament passages regarding hell. In the old testament the hebrew word for hell would be better translated as grave. Early Jewish concepts of death did not have a concept of hell as we think of it today. No, that idea came much later on in history when Jesus began describing the lake of fire, gahenna, which was a garbage dump outside the towns and villages were they burned their trash. Finally, there are a number of passages in the Greek version of the new testament where the word Hades has been translated as hell by English scholars. So what is the point of this history lesson? Well, to begin with the word hell has multiple meanings, and even in the holy bible the word hell isn't consistent from book to book or chapter to chapter. Not if you go back to the original Greek and Hebrew and read the text as it was actually written rather than translated by scholars. At its most simplist translation hell is nothing more and nothing less than a grave. Another translation of hell is the lake of fire. There is a version of hell which replaces the word Hades which was the Greek land of the dead. That's three different translations of the word which are perfectly acceptable in various contexts. There is another translation, more modern, were hell simply means that something was rough, terrible, and more than you can bare. For example, life in the Notzi consentration camps must have been hell. We aren't litterally talking about hell as in a grave, place of the dead, or where sinners go but that hell as in miserable, terrible, and inhuman conditions. So anyway that's why Raul and I don't use language filters. Words people find offensive are largely open to personal interpretation. You yourself have pointed out that in England the word sod is a sware word. Over here in the U.S. the word sod is grass and dirt used to lay down on a bare patch of ground to help add grass and soil to that area. There is just way too much flexability to use language filters. Instead it is up to the moderator to decide if the word was used improperly or not. I.E. aimed at someone in a negative way, to insult, etc. Personally, I think a big reason why a lot of people get so easily insulted by a word is they are usually ignorant of its alternative meanings. If I use the word hell most Christians will jump to the description taught to them in their Sunday school classes of this place under ground, burning night and day, were the devil and his minions live. Strangely enough, this description is not consistent with the actual biblical descriptions or concepts of hell. If that is the only translation or interpretation they are aware of then they aren't going to be too receptive of other interpretations of the word. Even if my use of the word might be proper in the context I use it. Cheers! On 3/12/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi tom. I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick here slightly.

A hell of an interesting chat ;d. Though actually very similar to what I was reading about a while aog whilst reading the percy jaxon novels and deciding to do some extra research on griek myths such as Tartarus. Also as an amusing point, in nordic languages Hell just means hill, in fact there is a very famous station in Sweedan simply called hell station and lots of tourists have photos of the sign precisely for the reason you mention ;d. But I do take the contextual point, I was most surprised when i found Americans getting upset at the word faggot, which in England simply means a large bundle of firewood or, in the midlands where I'm from, an extremely tasty spicy meat dish similar to black pudding (the local butcher in Nottingham where my parents lives makes the most wonderful faggots).

[Audyssey] Games we'd like to play, Time of deciet
This is an exciting new turn based stratogy game played on a modern computer, in which you command such powerful units as text E-mails, html E-mails and twitter clients across a square map of millions of participants. The basic principle of the game is to come up with as many convincing game ideas as possible. The more people's attention you capture, the greater resources of snideness, overconfidence and general smarm you have. You can then channel these resources back into generating more vital units which can be used to capture more people's imagination with whacky game ideas. Which stratogy to follow? Will you opt for a costly but wild idea which is likely to sound impressive but be totally implausable? or will you go for a realistic idea which is more likely to capture more hard core teretory, but be less appealing in power of persuasion. this game can be played online, any time, against hundreds of opponents on the audeasy list, and leader boards will be held for those who manage to convince most people and gain the largest amount of is this a real game? responses. Best of all you can play on a wide variety of user created idiological maps. the wished for beat em up, the impressive rpg, the whacky arcade game, the user in put engine, and the formidable sounding plot monster rpg! Can you convince the maximum amount of people that many games are really in the works? or will you be found out for the fraud you are! Time of deciet is not in developement, and will absolutely, positively and completely never be available from such great accessible game developers as u n interactive, n o t games, braingonesoft, projectsinc.net and lackof entertainment. News of time of deciet's release will also be reported via awfulgames.net and links will be posted on the list of unavailable games over at p i s games.net. Beware the grue! Dark.
