I refuse to believe poetry is a thing
Typica, Tiralta
yes
I'm curious does everybody here only speak english? I do speak some french but I'm not fluent in it or anything?
Chacapoya, Antimai, Chong Qing, Uwuguaya
Oh, there's a lot of people who are fluent in multiple languages here. I love languages a lot, so this is a question that I love to see :D
I speak German (Albeit with a heavy dialect) and English primarily, but I also speak a reasonable amount of French. I want to learn many languages of the world, though!

Sad :c

poetry is a scam
And thus were the humanities majors cast into the sea.

Thank you!

Hmm I didn't find what I was looking for, but that's my fault since I phrased it so badly lol. I remember that it was essentially a senior polls thing but for nations in refugia if that helps anyone?
Uwuguaya
Oh I ran that, I'll try and find it in a bit. If you search the RMB for Refugi Awards you might find it quicker than me though XD
I can read and understand conversational French but I don't use it often so I speak it badly. I have some extremely basic Irish that I'm working on too. In CEFR levels I'm like an A1 in Irish and a B1 in French. I have about 10 languages I'd like to learn someday though!

Found it! Thanks lol

Hey, I just applied for a spot on the map, and I noticed something about the cultures. It says no new cultures are being accepted but one of the cultures that only had one nation, Bob, has ceased to exist? Does that mean there's room for another culture or no?
Chong Qing, Uwuguaya
Hello fellow mtg fan lol.

Hello, and welcome to the two thousand twenty second annual year-end holiday celebration! For anyone who wants to participate in the season, I'm looking to run a Movie Night next weekend. The movie will be Tokyo Godfathers, a Japanese animated film from director Satoshi Kon that follows a homeless trans woman and her companion through the streets of Japan on Christmas Eve. I think fans of Studio Ghibli would enjoy the adventure, and I hope some of you will come check it out.
Movie nights such as these are held on our Discord server, streaming video through the voice channel. If you're not already there, you'll want to go to https://calref.network/chat/ so you can be a part of things.
To determine a date and time, we have a WhenIsGood link below. If you're interested in a movie sometime between December 8th and 11th, please click the link below, select your timezone, and highlight the times that you'd be able to attend. (Don't forget to click submit!) I'll gather responses and post a schedule in a few days. Let me know if you have any questions.
If you'd like to receive notifications about this and other movie nights, we have an optional ping you can enable in the Discord server. Give yourself the @Campfire role and you, too, can be groggily reminded of your obligations moments before they come to pass.

Yep, southwestern half of the banana shaped island that seven people tried to claim.

IÂ’m only fluent in English. I used to be able to read most Spanish since I grew up in a neighborhood where almost everyone spoke it and everything was written in Spanish but I never learned to really speak it. IÂ’m blaming the education system for requiring two years of a foreign language to graduate but not beginning to teach any until sophomore year for that. I moved away from that neighborhood awhile ago and IÂ’ve been losing proficiency in reading Spanish over the years.
ItÂ’s like there was a disconnect between reading and speaking/hearing, any time sound was necessary I suddenly couldnÂ’t understand anything.
Tiralta
I can speak and read simple English with a little (a lot) grammatical mistake,can understand simple English (only refer to the Oxford Dictionary for the difficult one)
Tiralta, Heinfield, Uwuguaya
québécois?? 0:
Uwuguaya
I'm kinda the opposite, where I learned Spanish mostly at work. So, I speak it a lot easier than I can spell it, but fortunately it's a pretty phonetic language.
Tiralta
Non, Colombie-Britannique lol but we learn it a bit in school and I've pursued it a little on my own. I've been more interested in Irish though.
Tiralta, Uwuguaya
anyone who can pronounce irish must be a machine. what kinda spelling is that??
Uwuguaya
Just so nobody's caught off guard, there's just one day left to turn in a factbook for the writing competition! Remember, you will only be able to vote for factbooks to win if you turn one in for the competition, yourself!
So consider coming up with one, even if it's silly or basic, so you can participate :D The only requirement is that it is new (made after November 22 2022).

Excuse me, could I join now?
Yeah with the exception of a couple letters they mostly only make one sound so itÂ’s pretty easy to figure out how to spell words if you know how theyÂ’re pronounced. My high school Spanish teacher mentioned that I was way better at pronunciation than the rest of the class, so evidently I picked that up during childhood. But because it wasnÂ’t something spoken at home what my Spanish speaking neighbors and classmates said had no meaning unless I was reading the words at the same time. ItÂ’s like I needed subtitles in real life but Spanish subtitles wouldÂ’ve worked.
Not sure what was going on with my brain there, youÂ’d think I wouldÂ’ve picked up both but I guess because most of the actual learning came from reading signs, letters, notices, labels, instruction manuals, etc. that were written in both languages the spoken language still had no meaning to me just like any other language I couldnÂ’t understand. Perhaps if I were better at making friends I couldÂ’ve had fellow elementary school students teach me, but alas thatÂ’s never been something I was good at.

Schizer, forgot yeah
leader name pls and title

It's actually 95% phonetic, unlike English, so once you know what the letter groups say you can read almost anything out loud even if you don't understand it.
Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Chong Qing
It seems that many phonetic characters can be read like this

will be done by tomorrow

Irish stew so thick you can stand your spoon upright in it. It's so warm and comforting to me.

There's really not a lot to choose from here that isn't, like, caribou. So I'm gonna say Nanaimo Bars or our lord and saviour Coffee Crisp.

IÂ’m not a big fan of hamburgers, hotdogs, deep fried food, etc. but I love cultural fusion food! America is a big melting pot of cultures so there are a lot of really cool dishes that combine foods and flavours from all over the world.
Typica, Tiralta, Libervillea
couldn't agree more
Araine
God bless Coffee Crisp
Refuge Isle, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Tiralta
So true

I donÂ’t even know what foods even actually originated here, I feel like basically everything has been imported from somewhere else and given a saltier, sugarier, and/or fattier spin.
Araine, Tiralta, Rejakhta, Chong Qing, Uwuguaya, Libervillea
same here, i just said coconut shrimp because it's my favourite food anywhere and i couldn't find its origin

Interesting little out of context thought for you all,
If the elves flooded Atlantis then they would solve climate change for a day.
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Chong Qing
We would be happy to make this sacrifice
Portmanteau, Tiralta, Estebere, Chong Qing
Wait, I just realized, have you read Keeper of the Lost Cities? That's where the reference is from.
Typica, Portmanteau
I haven't! But I play a nation of environmentalist elves and would sink Atlantis for the environment.
Typica, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Chong Qing
Oh, well I'd recommend Keeper of the Lost Cities. Also, small correction, what I meant was that Atlantis is already sunken within the context of KotLC, and basically they could flood Atlantis, causing an inch of water to go into the newly created vacuum of space from removing a huge city. A shame that Lady Gisela missed a square in what should have been a check with only one response. A shame.
Portmanteau
I appreciate the recommendation! I've got a few other series I'm reading through so it might be some time but I'll look into it.
Portmanteau, Tiralta
You're right
Tiralta, Uwuguaya
Well, people... "Religious Freedom Protection" is up for vote in the WA. It's concise, I'll give it that. This is my own opinion on it: While I get that people shouldn't be punished for holding a specific belief, this proposal does less than nothing to protect a person's ability to engage in that very religion. In fact, the author themself stated that they elected to add a mandate to protect religious practices, but conceded it should've been added in to begin with. I honestly feel like while the basic outline is there for this proposal, it needs a few more details added in. So, I'll give it a tentative "Against".
Sylh Alanor, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Tiralta, Uwuguaya
Great! If you do read it, be sure to tell me if you like it. Oh, and what are those other seriesÂ’s youÂ’re talking about? Perhaps I might read oneÂ
I took a little break during the school term, during which I read a lot of stuff, but the series I was working on before was The Witcher series, the books of which were very good! And then I've been working through the first book of the Malazan series, which is slower and more dense but still enjoyable so far.
Typica
Hm... Interesting... I'll look into them... eventually.
Typica
Lacking an opinion on this, I've followed this suggestion. Thanks :)

[spoiler=long answer, skip if sensitive to guns]In my country irl, we measure speed in AR-15s per cheeseburgers per hour, so in order to calculate speed, we fire an AR-15 while throwing a cheeseburger. If the bullet reaches the target location first, you're below the speed limit. If the cheeseburger reaches the target first, you are above the speed limit. SLOW DOWN![/spoiler]
short answer: cheeseburger

we will not be adding new letters
