Originally by: Calderio Edited by: Calderio on 18/09/2005 04:28:17 the main benifit of the french allaince is its french fries and variety of wines, the russian allaince its vodkas, the german allaince its lager and ale's. if there was ever a uk or us alliance truelly its main benifit would be stella and bud light
Nice... beer... Stella is French, not english... Try Body's pub ale for some english goodness... My personal favorite. Bud light is fratboy urine...
I thought Stella was Belgian _______

I think you waste your time to flame it, why? Cuase most of us never read this forum cause it is not write in our native language so we don't understand well what everybody say (more when people use unacademic expression as it often happened in forum). As you can see my english is not very good too. Now maybe you can understand why we prefer to play with french people (french is a language not a country: belgium, swiss, french, quebec, african country, asian country etc... speak french so don't say we are a one-country alliance) it's just because we understand wath we say perfectly...

oh guys.. whats your problem about the name? k.. close to RL related things, who cares? k.. taking this name wasnŠt very creative, but is this so important?
if you need roleplay: after collapse of the wormhole the FFA are the lost part of a little group of mankind, in forgotten centurys called "The Eternal French". since the first completion of the total globalisation on motherplanet earth in the year 2149, they decided to form an "ethnic citadel" only to safe, to restore and to keep their old and loved culture, traditions and history alive. it worked good for a long, long time for them as friendly ethnic separatists. until the pressure of global economic on their homeplanet become too strong. they saw no other way out. they raised their fists against the global politics and their own powerlessness against global influence and started an gigantic project. the projects name: "Eternal French". a project, seen as the last chance to safe their own. a project to found and colonize new homeworlds. a project to rescure the beloved, the speech, culture and their way of live. ( *jokeon: ..and at last, delicious bree-cheese! :*jokeoff ) they started evacuation of their old home, the "french district" in "european city" on planet earth.. the rest is history..
so good luck FFA!

Edited by: Taraniis on 17/10/2005 19:33:57 The "French"? Does this mean more damned Gallenteans? Why can't you soft in the head "free all Matari" freedom fighters go and meddle in someone elses business? Start another war with the Caldari or something...
What? Oh... you mean... you mean they speak this, "French". Well I'll be having none of it, pure Amarrian for me, me lad o'.
Hope it call goes well for you chaps... Now where in the world did I park the Agamemnon?

Originally by: Isonkon Serikain I think most of you who are flaming organizations based on a language other than english are missing the point. Some of you point fingers and call this a close minded attitude. Yet what would you do if eve was in a language other than your native language? You most likely would not even have enough education to post on these forums a notice that you were forming an alliance based on your own language, to make it easier to play.
Instead of deriding the FFA, you should be welcoming their efforts to make Eve more accessible to many who might otherwise be less interested in playing because of language barriers. If the FFA didn't want to play with you, as some of you are already insinuating, they would not have bothered posting this thread... This thread exposed so many narrow minded people, it's not even funny.
I think you should avoid single language groups as far as possible and that English happen to be the native language of some has nothing to do with it. The fact is that English is the current lingua franca (oh the irony )- it's what you use when you want to communicate with the rest of the world just as you in older times in Europe used latin and later French. Nowadays it's English, so get over the pride and learn it. My mainproblem with the lone-language groups is thus what it signals to me: "you and the rest of the world can't possibly have anything interesting to say so I can't be bothered to put in a year or two to learn the basics of a common communicationform". By forming lone-language groups they further avoid the possibility of "learning-by-doing" in the relatively relaxed atmosphere of games.
And no I'm not a native-English speaker, I'm Swedish, speak/write almost fluent English though I speak with an accent and also understand relatively much German though my own production in the language would be clearly halting if understandable. I wish I like many had found time to learn a fourth language (where French or Spanish are both excellent choices) or even a fifth like a few do. That doesn't stop the fact that English is THE language you need to learn. It doesn't have to be good/perfect to be of great use and if you ever go into higher education, look for jobs with any international connections or just go abroad on your vacations it will be useful/required. That some people were lucky enough to have English as mothertongue but stupid enough not to take the chance to learn more foreign languages and instead come here flagwaving about embarassments like "freedom fries" shouldn't stop you.
That said of course there's some people who are too young to have learned English and some who simply didn't get the choice due to unrealistic politicians running the schoolsystem. So of course lone-language groups serve a purpose - it's better to play with a limited group of people then not play at all. But do try to break out of the ghetto and join the rest of us as soon as you can will you? Both you and we will be better off for it.
Finally on the French/Gallentean connection I think it's pretty clear from reading the background material that we as players know that the Gallenteans (of which I'm a proud member ) are of French origin just as we know that the Amarrians are from some kind of Catholic cult. But it's also fairly clear that this has been completely forgotten in the game world so that our characters know nothing of it. So yes French Alliance is certainly OOC but as long as chars with names like l337_killah & Co are running around I won't be complaining too much.

Good luck to you all.
Although I must agree with some of the previous posters to this thread. Dividing people into alliances based on language has several problems:
1. Makes you look like isolationists 2. Real world ethnic differences provide strngth. Look at the Romaninas, they're nuts about their killing and scream alot on Vent/TS. This is priceless and you will be missing out 2. Starts a slide down a slippery slope where other alliances allow only Muslims, or dare I say it whites or blacks.
Hope it works out for you.
