I think I figured out what he is doing, translating to Dutch then ROT-13.

Hij wil u in een strijd brengen waarin u niet behoort. Geen van beiden is in uw belang!

He wants bring you in a fight in which you do not belong. None of both is in your importance!

It does not follow 0m3n! Demise will lead its.

Chuck Norris in an ARG/not ARG? I'm in!

Well, now, lets see. our friend the Om3n is quite the linguist, yes? Or is he?

If there's anyone here who knows fluent dutch/spanish/etc. Could you tell if he's just Babelfishing things, or if he has good sentence structure, etc?

I speak Spanish.

The little I have seen would seem to imply this is someone who has some experience with the language. Babelfish is crap.

The Italian and Portuguese look okay too, but I don't actually know Italian or Portuguese, so I can't say for certain.

I think I am sitting on the fence for this one at this stage I have no idea what is going on(That usually doesnt happen till the thread gets to 12 pages).


I am sitting back till we get some sort of website to go on.

However I will be all in when Pirate Mushrooms of the Waterbed vs. the Chuck Norris Magma Gnomes starts up.

Since I speak both Italian and Dutch, I thought I'd lend a hand, although I'm not playing this game (and based on what I've seen, am not going to).
Quote:
Né l'uno né l'altro lato importa, non mettle negli affari del vostro migliora. Il mio tempo è corto. Ascolti le mie parole.

The Italian is probably an online translator job; the word "mettle" gives it away, because it makes no sense in this context and it doesn't exist in Italian. Presumably your hero meant "to meddle". Moreover, the usual phrase is "il mio tempo è breve", not "corto" (which is "short" in other contexts, e.g. for things, not in the case of time).

I guess the translation then would be something like:
"Neither one side nor the other matters, do not meddle with the affairs of your betters. My time is short. Listen to my words."

The Dutch also looks awkward/archaic, with a grammatical error. The English translation is close enough:
"He wants to bring you into a battle in which you do not belong. Neither of which is in your interest."
The last bit sounds awkward, I know, but that is because the original makes no sense. Rolling Eyes

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure it's related, he was just on for a second (we didn't have a chance to talk) and his name was Roger

ok, now we're getting into debunkette's arena! Laughing

(an explanation: Deb (as we call her) is a debunker of the paranormal, and a character in Who is Benjamin Stove)
