Translation of the original japanese game project aka How to wind up flunkies

[DLPB]

Right, I want this thread locking. I can see this forum is nothing like a decent forum of people contributing information and looking at things objectively. I want nothing more to do with the people here,

I will be contacting some members by PM in future for help with the project. I won't waste my time with the twats on display here, some of which can't even see past blind fanboyism and their own smug superiority complexes.

I think this forum is badly run and full of arse holes. I did not come here for 100000 pages about 1 word. I have asked repeatedly that the subject be dropped as the discussion on it is over.

This project is designed to make the game as close to how the writers intended a spossible. I.e. no mr.t, no out of context words. It is a project that I have started and will have to place considerable time into. I can do this without 90% of people here.

As I said, I will now be responding to specific people in PM only and if they want to help they can do so.

Good day.

That's because you won't get your head out of your arse.

Don't ask for opinions you already decided on yourself for. That's not how asking for help goes.



Please close this thread, mod peoples.

Why are you here asking for help when you can use wikia? Go and translate on your own please. Seriously, your arrogance is very annoying. And stop calling people ignorant. Are you so intelligent that you have the right to call people that now?

Please cite your other sources as well.

Because clearly he wanted to trot in on our happy little forum, ask for our opinions, tell us we're wrong in what we think and know, tell us what is right by the standing of over 9000 other non-existing forums, cite wiki's instead, bawwww, get butthurt, and then flee to another forum to repeat the process.

We're all decent people here, kthx.

Why bother contacting anyone else anymore, if we're all twats run by ignorant mods who know nothing? Seriously, that's how you leave? Then gtfo and don't bother coming back.

Clearly that is not how you came off. You want to make the game as close as YOU want it to be, especially as you have talked about taking out a "useless" party member and replacing him with someone else, and completely ruining another colourful character who people already love. Why would you do that to such an already great game?

Clearly, as you have your 5, no 7, no 3 other forums to help.

Good day.

Good morning.

 

[DLPB]

You should just stop talking, as you don't even know the game

 

[Channy]

What better advice to follow than your own?

 

[Eerie]

All of this because of one word he's not able to understand. Ô, irony, how do I love thee. LOL. XD

 

[Max Payne]

If you're just going to insult people and display your arrogance then please don't bother posting at all.

 

[I Am Not Me]

Dacon said it. Plain and simple. STFU about your infallible FFVII knowledge. Our opinions don't matter anyway, right?

 

[Cookie Monster]

I'm closing this.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I say we open this and laugh at OP's stupidity and BAWWing.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass.

They are not "copies" they are genetically engineered. They have jenova cells. They are NOT CLONES. A COPY IS A CLONE. Hwo can you help when you don't even know the storyline?

Said the man unaware that the black cloaked men are Sephiroth Copies, apparently.

Are you even reading? I KNOW HE DOESNT. I am using that word or find BETTER WORDS to FIT the sentence than flunky which is WRONG.

But flunky is not wrong. It is not the literal word used, but it IS a correct statement on what they are.

Read this, you ignorant man.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sephiroth_Clones

"Clone" is in fact a misnomer. Sephiroth Clones are not genetic copies of Sephiroth, but rather those who carry genetic material that allow them to be his puppets. "

Yet the LINE IN QUESTION says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about their genetic material. Nor does Cloud HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE AT THIS POINT that they are those who have been injected with Jenova Cells, which is actually different than 'genetic makeup' in the end so that bit of the Wiki actually needs to be changed.

haha yes I am sure. A flunky is a generic term given to any old foot soldier. A reference to copy is not a general term, it is specific.

So you now agree that Flunky can refer to any old foot soldier? Well guess, what, that's what the sephiroth copies ARE. Expendable foot soldiers for Sephiroth. Flunkies.

And guess what, I don't want this thread closed. I want it displayed, to use you as an example of how not to conduct yourself on this forum.
You didn't come here wanting a second opinion. You came here wanting yes men. When you didn't find that, you lashed out and started spouting nonsense willy nilly, apparently unable to follow the logic of your statements beyond a post or two, and you STILL have not provided any of the sources you were asked for on no less than three occasions now.

In short, shame on you, child. Now either learn to conduct yourself reasonably or simply leave. If you continue to act poorly, I will begin handing out infractions.
By the by, you know how you could have avoided this entire matter? Admitting that this entire crusade is about not liking certain lines, about being honest that you personally don't like the word flunkies, instead of turning this into a grand translation battle.

 

[DLPB]

copy = flunky.

Footsoldier = genetically mutated person

Flunky = well known word in english (no)

Flunky sounds just like what cloud would say, is he scottish?

Flunky is just so right, out of all those words that could be used, they hit the right word . How fortunate....


ok dude. Good luck with that. I will not be back to this thread again and you were overruled by otjhers (2 at qhimms and 1 elsewhere) who seem to have a better grasp of japanese (what happened to "double")

Bye.

 

[Channy]

Damn Ryu, you got overruled by people who don't exist. How's that for your ego?

 

[Ryushikaze]

I'd be crushed, if I cared about the opinions of the anonymous and cowardly.

But as I don't, I'm not.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I am seriously amused by the idea that flunky is somehow an unknown English word. I think even Harry Potter mentioned "Malfoy and his flunkies", so I assume it's a decently used word.

 

[Max Payne]

I spent my childhood in a ghetto neighborhood in Louisiana and even I heard the word there.

 

[Channy]

I'm Canadian and we mispronounce the shit out of a everything, and I know aboot flunky.

Also, when was it decided that flunky was a Scottish word?

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Also, when was it decided that flunky was a Scottish word?

" 1782, Scottish dial., "footman, liveried servant," of uncertain origin, perhaps a dim. variant of flanker. Sense of "flatterer, toady" first recorded 1855."So it originated in Scotland.

 

[Munatik]

This has turned into one hell of a spanking.

You didn't come here wanting a second opinion. You came here wanting yes men.

I find it rather ironic that Randomletters is disputing flunky as a word choice while wanting flunkies for this "project".

omfg, it's all starting to make sense now...

No wait, still bullshit.

Tbh, I just seems like you came here only to get same yes-sayers.

We aren't your flunkies though.

 

[NoenGaruth]

Considering you're from Qhimm, you should be used to it.

I won't waste my time with the twats on display here, some of which can't even see past blind fanboyism and their own smug superiority complexes.

Begads, then it's just like Qhimm!

I think this forum is badly run and full of arse holes.

Then you must feel right at home.

This project is designed to make the game as close to how the writers intended a spossible.

If that's the case, according to what's transpired in this thread you're doing a pretty lousy job.


That aside, the members here are actualy good and decent folk, and quite knowledgable and intelligent. YOU however came in here and started giving everyone attitude when they were only trying to help, and so if you act like a jerk here PEOPLE WILL RESPOND IN KIND.

Thank you for choosing TLS airlines, we hope you enjoyed your flight.

lol @ OP editing out all of his old posts into BAWWWWing about the management here while failing to provide one single example of mismanagement. As if that's going to make him look any less foolish

 

[Ryushikaze]

If I'm not mistaken, V, you can restore them all anyways, can't you? Or are the old ones simply overwritten in the DB on an edit?

Either way, still not making his BAWWW fest look any more credible.

Destroying the evidence is in its own way a tantamount confession, child.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Yeah, vBulletin saves the entire post history so they can easily be edited back. If needs be I'll do it. Want me to remove his edit privileges as well?
