I don't get why y'all like my native tongue so much. It just sounds terrible for informal interaction.

It can be quite beautiful too...

You should hear slang in Germany sometime.

Or better yet, don't. It's absolutely terrible and if it doesn't die soon I'll be forced to start a petition to replace Germany's main language with Japanese instead.

Mef, your saying so divulges to me that you've never heard Classical Greek spoken. My parents fail to understand how so cacophonous and foul a language could ever have been spoken. It's always either too many or too few consonants, but never evenly spread.

Try /poi'oio/ alongside /'pepo:ntha/

Doesn't sound too bad to my ear.

To be fair, "Beef labeling monitoring task transfer law" doesn't really come up in informal interaction a lot. Also, compared to the Inuit languages, y'all have it easy. Honestly, "Tautugniaqmiġikpiñ" means "thank you," for the love of God.

You are all invited to the Union Gala RP. It is Any Tech, but there will possibly be nations present who do not normally do magic and the like in RPs. It should not be an issue, since it's just a gala, like I said. If anybody shows who is normally not the Any Tech type, you can still interact with them. Just be cool about it and do not deliberately antagonize them OOCly.

Also, a vital note here. Violence? Is permitted if IC reasons exist. Just know that the ship is well secured. ;)

Hmm, looks fun. I'll see if I can get some time free.

But I agree, I don't know what to do anymore.

That reminds me of the sausages I had for breakfast. Hmm. Gross.
I'd still eat the sausages even if they were actual shit. It would be gross as hell, but I'd still do it.

I am considering using "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" as the Tatran national anthem. I think the lyrics would fit The High Tatras fairly well with no alterations or modifications. It certainly gets across the idea of natural rights and that "God is the only King we need", and it is about the land and the people and not the government or the military. I do not care that it has the same tune as "God Save the Queen". Besides, the Germans came up with that tune first if I am not mistaken.
