This, I'd be really ok with French. Parce-que mon francais est tres moin que m'anglais. Je sais assez francais pour parler "franglais." N'est pas?

If Google's translator gives me a correct impression of what you are saying, this is even worse. A gibberish mix between two languages, well, in the end, nobody will understand anything.

Be nice, kids, stick to English, it doesn't hurt you, and if it does, well… suffer! Just consider that it is impolite, and go learn the few words you need for at least a basic communication with the others. Thank-you-for-your-attention.

I was kidding. Tu es tres bete mon copain....... Je suis une chauve salope? Lol jkjk

Stop waffling on in english, your message is surely lost on its intended audience anyway...  ::)
But now that the message is out to the people who will understand it, let's all start to insult them from now on 8)
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Well, I just had an encounter – not on an official server – with people who surely very well knew English, two exactly, which kept communicating in their own language. It did have to do with the game, as far as I could tell, some particular words were flying around, however, for it was French both of them used, and for they obviously did not respond to advice to use English so that everybody could understand them,

I answered in German.
They left. Both.

Some people still don't understand that a game on a server where there are people from all over the world is no place to show off any national pride or something.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Why the heck not? Since when is being proud to be [insert your country here] a bad thing?

its just annoying when you cant understand them.

Are they now proud of their own country/language, or are they just ignorant/despiteous about others? Is this a just-question?

This, too.

Minimum: I guess pings on Australian servers from elsewhere in the world pretty much cut down the number of people with a non-English mother tongue ;)
