In character clan cursing question is that also banned? I'm asking cause I did it before reading the general post sorry I know it might be to little to late but... :-\

I am sure freebirth, Stravag, and Surat are fine.

That's been in the Clan glossaries forever. It's even in the glossary for the Jade Phoenix Trilogy.

Trashborn is acceptable in all social situations.

I usually don't read the glossaries. ;)
And with the exception of one, I read all BT novels in German. We don't use the same words for Clan slang than the US-novels. They even translated quiaff and franeg into something different (only Blake knows why...)

Mindwiper · « **Reply #8 on:** 26 January 2011, 06:36:38 »

Ui, I think savashri was also used in our German translations, but don't ask me when and where!

It's also possible that I just forgot it existed. I knew there had to be some time when I start forgetting BT stuff because my brain is full ;) :D

This seems to be a common freeborn-problem! :P

Yes, Savashri was unharmed.. Stravag as well, but freebirth had to be translated, obviously.

I still find the german analogues to the rhetoric endings much preferable, but well, what can you do?

:)

Mindwiper · « **Reply #12 on:** 26 January 2011, 08:29:21 »

It took me some time to understand that "quiaff" is the same as "frapos" and "quineg" stands for "franeg". I think "Pos" works better than "Aff". Andery had some strange abbreviations. Aff sounds like Uff..something no trueborn clanner would say!

Marlin · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 January 2011, 09:02:23 »

Exactly my view.. or it sounds like monkey in german... :P ;)

Not really what I like, but I guess it wont matter for English speakers.

Mindwiper · « **Reply #14 on:** 26 January 2011, 09:19:00 »

Aye! "Aff" is just missing the "e" It just feels strange! ::)

Uh, what about BSG and Farscape swearing? :-X

Pa Weasley · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 January 2011, 09:35:35 »

HAHAHA ... apparently there's some fictional universe swearing that's not permitted. Good to know.

If clan cursing was banned, you couldn't use words like: don't, can't, won't, etc.

I'd prefer something unique to the universe in which I'm gaming.

Eh, that just means he is a freebirth, not a blasphemer. Now, if he tells you you have a MOTHER, then that is when you start crying foul.

JamesPryde · « **Reply #23 on:** 29 January 2011, 02:59:54 »

Well I am glad that got cleared up would have really sucked to get banned already ;D

PeripheryPirate · « **Reply #24 on:** 29 January 2011, 03:03:08 »

Well, what can you expect from all the freebirth moderators running around here? They're just laborers, after all. :D

JamesPryde · « **Reply #25 on:** 29 January 2011, 03:13:22 »

They could be WOBBIE trainees too #P

You did know that "quiaff" and "quineg" are just contractions for "query affirmative" and "query negative" ? Bloody hypocritical Clanners.

"Contractions? There's no apostrophes. Thank the Great Father, no contractions here. Wait, dang it." ::)
