The Diplomat's Phrasebook
With the diversity of language between different tribes today, it is important to be able to commuicate with their representatives in their own languages.
With an eye to making this easy on the budding EM diplomat, we hereby present the following useful diplomatic phrases, translated from the familiar Sebiestor into Vherokior, Brutor and Krushal.
Sebiestor: Oh, I say, old chap! You appear to be Kill on Sight! Shall we have at it?
Vherokior: Like... Woah... Dude! You are messing with my chi!
Brutor: Me smash!
Krushal: Huh?
Sebiestor: Golly, my alliance chums have flagged you as a competitor. I had best take up a defensive posture!
Vherokior: Man... that's just... like... totally kharma...
Brutor: Me smash you next!
Krushal: Sorry, did you say something to me?
Sebiestor: Your alliance is neutral. Shall we make a NAP ?
Vherokior: Duuuuude, you need to take a staaaaaand....
Brutor: Me hungry now
Krushal: Back in a mo...
Sebiestor: Ah, Toppers! Nice to see you, old pal, wot wot?
Vherokior: Yeah, man, we're like totally on the same wavelength (At this point, the diplomat should wave his or her arm back and forth in an even, horizontal motion to indicate said wavelength)
Brutor: We drink! Honour fallen warriors!
Krushal: AFK a sec
Sebiestor: Good-oh! We already have a NAP. Chuffing good news, eh?
Vherokior: Dude... (At this point, the diplomat should place his arm around the NAPed party and breathe on their face according to ancient Vherokior ceremonial practice) Dude... I LOVE you, dude! (To cry at this juncture is considered an excecptionally honourable gesture)
Brutor: Sleepy now
Krushal: What did I miss?
Sebiestor: Jinkies! You have behaved most inappropriately! I'm afraid I have no other choice than to wardec your alliance and/or corporation!
Vherokior: Bats! There's bats everywhere!
Brutor: Me smash.... IN RENS! Ha ha ha ha!
Krushal: Oh... bugger
Sebiestor: Thank you ever so for agreeing to this negotiation, Legatus
Vherokior: We just have to... like... make love... not war...
Brutor: (It is considered higly inappropriate to speak during the sacred Eating of the Amarrian's Leg)
Krushal: Laaaag
Sebiestor: These rats look rather japey. Can I hunt them here?
Vherokior: Uhhh... My landlord has like... totally locked me out of my spacestation. Can I crash at your pad?
Brutor: I will hunt these rats, as my father did and his father before him, into the very depths of time. The Spirits of my Ancestors will behold my prowess as a mighty warrior of the Tribes, and this day, I swear by this, my mother's Khuumak, we shall be avenged against the foul nation of Amarr! (This declaration is applicable in all parts of space, regardless of rat type)
Krushal: I'm stuck on the gate
Sebiestor: Hmm. There's rather a lot of them. Shall we make a gang?
Vherokior: Party onnnnn. Duuuuuude!
Brutor: (There is no translation for this sentence into tribal Brutor. They do not need gangs.)
Krushal: I need to relog.
It should be noted, that when in Vherikior territory, if you do not know what to say, you should always say "Dude!" and invade your opposite number's personal space. The precise meaning of the ancestral phrase "Dude" is not known. Largely because no one cares.
