Intolerance

Animal, your response looks the most civilized one and the least "animal" of this thread.
Let the other animals bark in english, as they can't do in another language, the more of them.
They (only those who want own ch.1 for english only), may have the dollars but not the culture.

I like the other languages on Channel 1, It gives another depth of realism to this Sim.
My hairs Stand up when we "intercept" the Italian transmissions, My eyes scan the skies for them damn Macci's.
This Was a "World" War! The German and japanese transmissions we intercept are immediately turned over to INTEL. Most times INTEL cracks the code fast enought for our team to scrammble and intercept. Finding myself deep into German territory alone, constantly scanning the skies for enemy,  the silence is interupted with Russian transmissions. Althou i don't understand the language , it's alittle comforting that they are on the same team. I have to give a <S> to our boys down at INTEL for cracking the codes and shifting the War in our favor. Althou INTEL still hasn't cracked Vulcanism,Bashism,NathBDPese,and the Sheepherders language Westyese, they promise to work around the clock until these hardest of languages can be understood.

I don't really care what language it is, but sooner or later if players start "chatting" on CH 1 I often get irritated by it.  

Chatting IMO it is a very crucial function of AH, but during combat all it does is choke up the text buffer.  

I simply squelch those players and continue on my own happy way wondering why they don't go to a private channel.

The way I see it, this is what channel 1 is _for_, and if you don't like it, squelch. I do get annoyed if people shut everyone else out on the country channel by speaking some other language, as this is usually information I'd find useful, like 6 calls, where we're attacking, field status etc.

But like several people stated, there's no policy here, and I don't think there will be, so it's up to each and every one of us what language we want to speak. I don't whine about HO's in the game (I don't take em) and I don't whine about language when flying either.

Aces High is not an American game.  Aces High is an international game and anyone dumb enough to think that English (only) should be spoken should be squelched by the entire community.  He can go talk to his dog.

You mean I can't say "Muerre Perro !" on channel 1 anymore ?

If you don't like what someone is saying.. squelch them.

Works for the bellybutton who thought that only English should be spoken on Ch 1 and for the originator of this thread who didn't like what that person was saying.

Yup.  Ignore it.  I enjoy watching foreign languages scroll across the screen and admire the way they have been able to master two languages.  These individuals add a great dimension to the arena.  I wish there were more Germans online so I could join a German only speaking channel just to practice "meine deutsche Sprache".

My ability with German pales in comparison to some of those who are fluent in both English and their native language.

<S> to all of those who speak English second while on ch. 1.  Dont stop.

And if some of you know of a German channel, let me know.  I would love to sit in sometime and see how much I can understand.

Read my erlier post and you will see that I am EXACTLY right, I said that having seperate channels for different languages would make it more efficent and easy for EVERYONE but nobody would ever do it cause they will have the following mantality.

" i dont care if it makes things easy or not, you have no right to tell me what language to speak!, ill say whatever I want, in whatever language I want!"

this is why things will never progress very far in this area of things, because people would rather abuse thair rights than to conform to something that benifits all.

I think is very childish to do something just because you can, not doing something because you should.

And that is why things will never be perfect, because some people would rather abuse their rights than to be considerate to all and lend a hand.... rather sad I think.

[TheWobble]

On a further note..

I think that having seperate channnels for differnet languages i a VERY valid IDEA and that it makes PERFECT sense to have everyone who speaks english to be on one chaneel french on another and so on.. it IS NOT racist it is not RUDE it is practical and it makes it easyer to communicate between EVERYONE, with all the abbreviations and jargon associated with this game having to weed through all the posts to find what ever language(s) you speak will just make things more uncomfortible and teidous.  Of course there is no law saying that channel 1 is reseved for English only so by all means speak any language you want so what if it make thing more difficult so  what its your right and thats what matters......isnt it?

Get real. If you can't stand to not understand what they're saying, then learn the language.

Demanding that everyone speak English in the common channels not racist but it is prejudiced.  Your argument that it just confuses things doesnt make any sense since if you dont understand them on whatever channel they are speaking on, you arent going to even hear them if they are on another channel.  And if your argument is that seeing their text confuses you, then squelch them.  No more confusion.

Rediculous.
