Some kind of joke?

By Alfgard, in Mutant Chronicles

Hi together,

I think its great that there is a new forum.....but with what circumstances ( sorry i am german )

i registered my self at the old forum..saved my password etc. And now i have to make a new registry... What happend to my old???

I went to my shop on friday and they had the first "mopo" booster...no starter what is funny...and i buyed 1 x monster and 2 x unit and i must say:

That`s a joke: It costs 12 Euro for 2 Figures ( monster ) of the same kind, and 12 Euro for 4 VERY small units and one building....ok, the painting is nearly perfect ( i realy have to say this ) but for 12 Euro for ONE figure, cause one monster is painted and the other one ist, i dont know the englisch word, "durchsichtig" its just a joke....i will stay at mutant chronicles...

I think the word you're looking for is transparent.

We talking about monster apocalypse?

Aha! That is what he must be referring to with the buildings!
(I was wondering if I had missed something....)

Yes i mean monsterpocalypse..sorry my bad english.

Just one story from the game store i use to buy my stuff:

They have:

1 Starter of MC and One pack of every first wave...they are between the confrontation ant he AT-43 stuff.

I bought them and one week later there was another starter and one pack of every booster...

Is this "sale politicy" Wait unitl one of every unit is gone?

Aaaaaah. It all made sense now. I thought you were talking bout MC. Never tried 'MoPo' myself though. MC, Warzone and Munchkin kind of fills the time I have available for gaming every once in a while. :)

i'd imagine every store does it differently

Yeah. One of my stores will absolutely NOT buy new product of a thing until more than 90% of it is gone, and they will NOT reorder product if its more than 3 months old. For that stuff you have to / can special order (at no penalty except having to wait for it though...).

Another store has way too much of EVERYthing... even after I'd warned him to hold back on ordering soo much product (UFS for instance... he was ordering 2 booster boxes of back up for sets that were 7 months old... which everyone already has a ton of...)

Traurig ist mein erster Jahr Germen schrecklich. Aber im Allgemeinen wenn I' m, das Ihre Bedeutung erhält. Sie denken, dass das Monsterpocalypse ein schlechtes Abkommen ist, das mit den Variation-Chroniken verglichen wird. Ich stimme total zu. Ich denke, dass Sie soviel mehr mit dem Lux über dem Spiel der riesigen Monster erhalten.

Well, I appreciate your try. But I would strongly recommend to avoid such tools as bable fish without even knowing simple basics of the language you want to use. Because you will get a language jumble which is quite hard to understand - for example:

"Aber im Allgemeinen wenn I' m, das Ihre Bedeutung erhält." means translated one-to-one: "But in general when I´m, that consists your meaning." I quite confused, I was thinking about that several times and I still dont have the slightest idea what you meant. Maybe that you are in general of the same opinion as Alfgard?

Also these automated translation tools convert words into something completely wrong: therefore " mutant cronicles " becomes " Variation-Chroniken ", which means " variation chronicles ". I dont know why this happens, because in german its also " Mutanten Chroniken ".

Anyway, dont get me wrong, I really salute to everyone who trys to learn german, because its a very complicated language, so please take this not as criticism. Its more about the mumbo-jumbo which is spit out by such translation engines like bable fish, which annoys me.

Sorry, my attempt at conversation with someone else wasn't up to your precious standards. Oh and don't worry I didn't find your remarks condescending or arrogant. Jerk.

uhm, is this sarcastic (i hope)?

Ah, I see you got the point.

Well, if you dont want other people to see your posts and comment them, then dont use a forum. Write PMs. Or emails.

I tried to work out that I dont see a problem on your side, its a problem of engines like bable fish: I used it several times in the past to translate german texts into english and what I got was a language blah, that needed nearly the same time to correct as I would have needed to translate them for myself.

So this is a recommendation to all users (and not only you) to be cautious with translations done by such tools - you will get texts, that make no sense in the new language. And these are not MY standards, they are general ones.

Anyway, you are welcome. Merry christmas and peace.
