... sigh. okay, guys. Seems like we've got an issue with this "language barrier" thing, so I feel the need to address it.

This rule has been in place ever since the start of Discedo in November last year. It's by no means a recent addition. It isn't something that we're enforcing just to inflict Pain and Misery on everyone, either! But sadly, it's the rules, and though we're working on an alternative to it at current, for now - that's how things are going to stay. We have definitely taken everyone's concerns with this into account, and there were some excellent suggestions to fix it that we're looking into - but please be patient with us, guys.

On that note - the FAQ is getting a do-over tonight. And the application is going to be getting a new section... yeah, asking if you've read the FAQ and the rules. It won't be added for a few days yet, but when it is, you'll have to include something in your app that proves you've read everything over, otherwise you won't be approved. The FAQ is important, guys, and it covers a lot of important things within the game that the mods seem to be getting asked increasingly frequently lately.

you're probably getting sick of the constant mod posts recently, so I'll just leave it here. Any questions, concerns, etc can be put here.

edit; okay I fibbed. ADDITIONALLY, if you have issues with the chip suppressing powers that your character NEEDS to survive, please contact a moderator as soon as possible. I know we've been in talks with a couple of you, but things have been hectic and there's been no time to catch up lately, so please drop us a line! even if it's just here to explain what's up.

I love mods and oreos.

What about mods that give players oreos?

...

omg want

THEN YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE OREOS YOU WANT. :D

... if it's been in place since the start, why have the mods waited this long to jump up and stop it?

Because it's actually only become a problem lately. :D;; We haven't had any issues whatsoever with it up until this point.

They also have built in language translators for text only, if your characters wish to make the most of those, and text-to-voice posting and vice versa.

I don't believe I've had a problem with the language barrier yet (besides the times when I've been an idiot and haven't noticed someone else's voice post is in another language). But, if there's voice-to-text posting, it sounds like voice posts could be transcribed and the text end up translated anyways? Am I misunderstanding this part? (And if you can transcribe, the receiver would be the one who decides whether to transcribe, wouldn't they? They've got the audio anyways.)

Or is this more about face-to-face communication?

It's more about face-to-face communication, but this is about to be made obsolete anyway, regarding the new changes that we're going to put in place concerning the language barrier. I can understand the confusion; I picked up on it last night, and I'm planning on fixing that as soon as I'm able to.

DUMB QUESTION IS REALLY REALLY DUMB but, for text entries, it's written in type, right? not handwriting?

That's right! :3

I LOVE YOU MODS

ALSO

DO THE SCIENTISTS EVER PUT LIKE PERISHABLE FOODS IN THE STORES FOR US J/W
