any Cartoonists here?
 

If some user ever DOES write a Prima Strategy Guide, or Dominions for Dummies, we will need cartoons. Some of the stories here would make great short jokes or cartoons.

Like the image of a player yelling at his monitor "You STUPID MAGE! That wasnt what I told you to do! I AM YOUR GOD. LISTEN TO ME"

Or maybe a 3 square cartoon with
HE: "Honey? What does Nagot Gick Fel mean?"
SHE: "I think its Swedish"
SHE: "I bet it means some thing like you have been playing this game too long go check on your family"

Right, so what "Nagot Gick Fel" means? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif With my very limited knowledge of Swedish I could only decipher it like "something went wrong", but it'd be interesting to know the correct translation.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You are correct

Re: any Cartoonists here?
 

Något = Something
Gick = Went
Fel = Wrong

Pretty straight forward. Nothing to fuzz about http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Im sorry, I knew that and should have included it for the curious. Its just that I always use it the other way. As the Hand of Fate stepping in to remind me to look up from the computer occassionally. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I do drawing in my sparetime, I could give it a try...

Re: any Cartoonists here?
 

I'm not the greatest to do drawing, but here are some samples:

Jungle Danger

Vampire

Twilight Childhood dream

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, sometimes this kind of trick to translation doesn't work too well.

There's this play in French where there's a pretentious character who tries to impress with his lore, and he says something like:

Omnis a Deo scientia. Omnis: All. A Deo: Science. Scientia: Comes from God. All science comes from God.

(bonus points to any non-Frenchman who identifies the play)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">FAUX PAS DES CONNUS, Un toast au people polonais, acte 5
or
FALSE STEPS OF KNOWN, a toast with the Polish people, act 5

Wish I could say I knew this but one of the things I am really good at is Internet research.

Re: any Cartoonists here?
 

Since that Nagot Gick Fel thing got cleared up, can anybody tell me what all that Cthulu fhtagn, Ia Ia! stuff is supposed to mean?

Just curious...

Re: any Cartoonists here?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think it's from the book by

H. P. Lovecraft, 1926, "The Call of Cthulhu"

If I'm not mistaken.

Her is a page about it: Cthulhu

What excact it means I have no Idea...
