Well, by "aliens" do you mean the space pirates and other aliens from the universe that all our characters have been taken to, or the characters who are already "aliens" in their own universe?It actually looks like everyone's going to be speaking english anyway. The aliens, however...
Maybe in this particular universe, everyone magically speaks the same language.

Because I know Adric technically doesn't speak English. :P
Ok but like, the thing I've been trying to say with the Doctor Who example all this time is... it is basically the same as completely ignoring language barriers. The auto-translate still works even in situations where you'd think that it shouldn't (like the examples you listed).A language barrier in a big space setting prevents everybody from communicating with everybody: so private conversations without the Doctor around, conversations between antagonists of different races that happen off-set, new characters that come in and their need to have been able to communicate to even reach the group, or if the character that owns the explanation leaves. It is good to have an explanation, but in truth that kind of explaining never fully ends. Better to take the note from Star Wars and everyone but the most exotic speaks a common language. Or a universal solution like a babblefish which puts everybody in the universe on the same page and allows a language barrier to be created if it is wanted for something.
The idea is if it is just an obstacle to writing it is better to completely ignore it instead of bogged down in the cause of some false sense of realism. It is only when the language barrier is of value that it even merits thinking about.
Not such that the presence of a common language should prevent the existence of other languages and cultures though.
No it hasn't we're still talking about language barriers.
Do you just mean you haven't been getting alerts for the OOC thread? If so, this might help.
Simple... it's fiction. Some highly impossible universal translator is doing all the work. xDNo it hasn't we're still talking about language barriers.
Yeah, I know. But, sometimes real life makes it hard to check. DxDo you just mean you haven't been getting alerts for the OOC thread? If so, this might help.
In that case, just be sure to check your "watched threads" list once in a while. It'll show you all the threads you're watching but have unread posts for (in other words, threads that you haven't been getting alerts for).Yeah, I know. But, sometimes real life makes it hard to check. Dx
I was concerned about the same thing, but I was told that I would only have to post once a week. (Though I guess I should tag @The Wanderer just to make sure that's still the case. o3o )Hey there. You guys are still accepting, yeah? Looks like you have quite the group; how fast do you expect your players to post? Like multiple times a day or more like once a day or every few days? I'm interested but I worry about slowing things down if I can't keep up with every one else's schedule. (I'm also still deciding who I want to play...)
Awesome. Can I reserve Aang from Avatar, if he's okay to play? I haven't done a canon crossover like this before.We're still accepting. @Garp
No, I found it. I'll get a profile in tonight. Thank you!Perfectly fine. Want me to link you to the Character Index? @Garp
