Status: offline 		Helmut, je kennis van het Engels is zeker niet het probleem. Een tijdje geleden was er een Nederlander hier die op het hoofdforum de ene thread na de andere begon met heel simpele vragen en in heel slecht Engels, maar iedereen probeerde hem toch te helpen. Het probleem lijkt mij dat je de reputatie hebt van heel ongeduldig te zijn bij het zoeken van een tegenspeler en dan niet echt veel aandacht besteed aan het spel eens je een tegenstander hebt. Probeer daar misschien iets aan te doen en iedereen zal een stuk vriendelijker tegen je zijn.

Helmut en al zijn andere namen is verboden voor een jaar van de forums. Ik weet niet zeker waarom dit niet is opgevolgd door Matrix. Ik ben ook niet zeker waarom Helmut en al zijn andere namen zich niet houdt aan de verbanning Matrix toegewezen hem. Matrix heeft gedreigd juridische stappen als Helmut dringt aan op trollen deze forums.

Helmut is like a character in The Lord of the Rings. He has 37 different names.

'I come in peace, Master Hobbit. My name is Jean, son of 4thGuardsTanksArmy who has an only son named Helmut. The people of Gondor call me Helmut, but in the north I am known as Ike99. You can call me 5thGuardsTanksArmy. In Elvish, that would be APA."

I think you are wrong to lump in 5thGuardsTankArmy. While he spends a lot of time in BE, he is Swedish and his English is near perfect. He does however, claim to be a political adviser (frequenting Brussels) to a small far-right Swedish political party. I believed him. And told him to take a hike. (He refused to start the game until we spoke by phone--guess he wanted to be sure I was the right sort of bloke.......)

But his story was far more sophisticated than anything Helmut "Jean" Kohl could come up with.

Excuse my ignorance, but what language is that? I was under the impresion that Belgians all spoke either (or both) French and Dutch.

This thread sucks, so maybe you should just let it day in natural way? Of course it could be also a brilliant contest for "The most sophisticated national language". Sounds fine, then I'll offer you a sample of polish offensive words about cheaters, trolls, and other strange forms of life.

Cheers

I think I can attest for Pyotr (gwozdziu12), with whom I'm doing a Coral Sea scenario (either side, the first game is over, the second is underway), with a Guadalcanal campaign planned next. A regular one, two or three turns per evening.

You are correct, most if not all speak both to varying degrees. Whatever you choose to study, you will learn the two in school. That makes it even better for us, if the Dutch isn't obscure enough, than we can always try French . You did forget our German-speaking part though.

Member of Matrix ??????
Damn, i never suspected you were part of the team of Matrix .
So maybe you want to say that you have no more login ? So just explain us how you answer with your login ?
Also a bit of schizophrénia maybe, it seem to me the fault was put on Jean, not Helmut ??

OK, i'll try not to set afire anymore. But acting seriously and with respect is lacking to some people, obviously.

A little of both for me. Generally speaking long-lived forum members will have many posts. There are some exceptions, as you are one, sdhundt. Your longevity suggests that you're not a forum rat like myself, but still pretty stable. At least that's my take.

I think in a previous life the forum name was Japan.

I was surprised to see that German is also an official national language (one of three) since it is the first language of only 1% of the population of Belgium. According to the Google machine.

Reeks of appeasement!

No, Japan was obnoxious but coherent. Jean/Helmut is proper loony tunes. The name Jean-Pierre Dasseville has quite a pedigree for some ASL'ers. As 'Wolf' he became infamous for much the same behaviour as here. One memorable incident saw him hurl the insult that his opponent was an 'unmotivated garage'. Though more darkly there was an email about knifing somone IIRC

http://forums.gamesquad.com/showthread.php?71843-The-ASL-Mailing-List./page10

The posts on the above page almost perfectly describes the behaviour we've just witnessed

Maybe they'll go elsewhere. Trying to guess "who's who" , is just another way of "feeding the trolls".

Dankzij de wonderen van het internet, is het geen probleem voor mij om het gebruik van Google Translate. Als dit helpt me te communiceren zonder al te veel problemen de vertaling, dan ben ik graag van dienst.
