私はあなたに、ジャークを話しではなかった！

You broke babelfish

[Brandi]

Psh. I'll be of legal drinking age in less than a year.

BTW I better get my turn to draw soon, I wont be home on Sunday >:C

In what Country? Germany? Lol

私は二十歳です。

ビールを入れて！

私はビールが好きです

ビールが大きらいだから、　とても悪いです。　でも、ワインクーラがほんとにおいしとすごいですね。

[Brandi]

私はあなたに、ジャークを話しではなかった！

You broke babelfish

そうですね。Sudo_Nymの文をわからないだよ。

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh noes! All I see are boxes!!! *rushes off to install the Asian language packs*

(imagine that, an Asian unicorn that doesn't speak Asian...)

[Moospiker]

Okay, so this conversation goes SOMETHING like this

Brandi: 'I'm twenty'
Sudo_Nym:'Get the beer'
tanstalas: 'I like beer'
Sudo_Nym: Something to do with someone being a jerk
Brandi: 'I don't like beer, I like wine'
Brandi: 'I have no idea what Sudo_Nym said'

[StrangerCoug]

だから何？に言えば日本の突然おしゃれなものがこれからどうするか？
(I'll be lucky if this is close to even decipherable even to a native Japanese speaker.)

[jmj3000]

My phone shows the text, my computer shows me boxes. That's just not right.

(I'll be lucky if this is close to even decipherable even to a native Japanese speaker.)

So what? What to do now is what Japan's suddenly fashionable to put it?

[Moospiker]

I'm guessing you tried to say that japanese is now fashionable to speak

[Moospiker]

Oh yeah,

Question: How does a chinese/japanese/korean keyboard work?

no no no- I like wine coolerssssssss! (AKA BITCH BEER) >:0 Wine is usually nasty too, though not as bad as beer....

[Brandi]

Not sure, I just use this: http://www.yesjapan.com/install_japanese/

To be honest I understand very little kanji- but with this I really don't have to know it, I just have to make sure it's the right kanji if I feel like using it.

[StrangerCoug]

Question: How does a chinese/japanese/korean keyboard work?

I'm the most familiar with typing Japanese, so I'll start with that: You can type Japanese kana directly, but more common is to type the English transliteration. The kanji are typed with their reading, and if a kanji shows up that isn't the one you want, you hit a key that changes it (usually the spacebar to give it a use). If you still don't have the kanji you want, you can pick from a list. A skilled Japanese typist will go only slightly slower than a skilled English typist.

There are several ways to type Chinese. Some use a similar method to Japanese, some use a method that breaks characters down into strokes.

Korean, believe it or not, is usually written in a straightforward alphabet (just not ours). I think common combinations in Korean have their own keys, but I'm not sure and I'd have to look that up again.

[Moospiker]

Looks JUST A BIT complicated.

[Eat Poop You Cat]

HAHAHAHAHA

the picture mith sent me got deleted by tinypic before I even got to see it.

LOL

[mith]

I haven't sent you a picture. You mean the picture that I wrote a sentence for.

(You should really be saving the pictures locally when you get them. And then I can host them on mafiascum when the chains are done, rather than relying on tinypic.)

[Eat Poop You Cat]

Yeahhhhhh... you're right. lol

oops

[ReaperCharlie]

In other news, HOLY SH@# I CAN FINALLY SEE THE JAPANESE!!!

[tanstalas]

Well, that should be an interesting picture for the next person to draw...

[SaintKerrigan]

[removed]

(Also, still has no sentence to write. )

[Fenchurch]

What I had pictured in my mind the picture to be isn't the same as what I drew. Should I strive for the 'original thought', or let the picture 'evolve' itself, adding more stuff into it as I go along? Opinions appreciated.

Maybe too late, but I agree with CDB's answer. I'd say it really comes down to whether the things you add are still part of the original sentence, or not.

I also have a couple of moral dilemmas about the game:

1. If the sentence I receive contains reference to a person/film/product that I haven't heard of before, should I look up that thing so that I know what it is, or just draw whatever comes to mind (which may be a struggle)?

2. What about if I have already heard of the thing, is it appropriate to look up a reference picture then?

[Papa Zito]

I've been using reference pictures.

Of course, what I end up with doesn't look like the original anyway sooo


P.S. I've done two pictures and one sentence, you people need to get in gear.

[ReaperCharlie]

I've been using reference pictures.

Of course, what I end up with doesn't look like the original anyway sooo

agreed.

the rules are:

-rule #1: no direct copypasta (even though it is at times yummy and quite nourishing)
-rule #2: no letters/words (wasn't here at the beginning, but people abused it)
-rule #3: obey rules #1 and #2. if you break them, you are also guilty of breaking this rule.
-rule #4: whoever breaks greater than or equal to 2 rules greater than or equal to 2 times, gets replaced.
-rule #5: scratch my back.

also:

you people need to get in gear.

[quadz08]

I"s /IN TO REPLACE. I'm sad I missed the beginning. Booooooooooooo.

[ReaperCharlie]

k gotcha
