Does anyone know what the chinese (?) symbols on the database page mean?


I assume this is Japanese, since it contains 'kono', but there are no connecting particles or verbs or really anything besides kanji strung together. I could be wrong, it could be Chinese, but then again, this site has not been entirely, shall we say, consistent, or anything but nonsensical, so, um. Take as you will.

1st - risk, face, defy, dare, damage, assume (a name)
2nd - nickname, number, item, title, pseudonym, name, call
3rd - gone, past, quit, leave, elapse, eliminate, divorce
4th - Exists, outskirts, located
then there's a 7.
5th - harmony, Japanese style, peace, soften, Japan
Then there's a 3.
6th - of, this (kono, like 'this guy' would be 'kono hito')
7th - I don't know what this is. It vaguely resembles 'what' or 'to face' (as in to face a direction) but really looks like nothing. Bleh.

Warning: Because there is no context in which to interpret these characters, this could mean like a bajillion things.

That said, go nuts.

Sorry

Sorry meant no harm. Didn't know it would be taken so badly.

Oh, come on. Is no one going to cry foul here?

f I could have three wishes they would be...

1. Lt. Morrow would read the rules of this forum.

2. Lt. Morrow would show a little more respect for both his chosen genre and his targeted audience

3. ILoveBees2 : The Rip Off, would go ahead and implode like we all know it's going to.

Daijoubu, Ofiuco-san.


But yeah, I had a bad feeling about this from the start. It started to seem like it would get better, but now...

Someone cue the dirge.

Listen, everyone. If you don't like it, ignore it. There are evidently others who are interested, here and elsewhere, so stop trying to bury the thing. Unless it gets REAL annoying (cue RedKore flashback)(the kind that reaches out and tries to bug you personally), just walk away and let it take care of itself. This does not qualify as real annoying.

^Precisely!^ I'm not playing (because I don't care about it, really), but I'm watching (because I like it enough to see how things progress). That was slightly off-topic, that last part, but I wanted to clarify why I haven't posted here, and yet am talking now.

Anyway, what AD said - don't like it, ignore it. There are people who are *gasp* actually interested in it, or at least in seeing how it turns out.

The characters on the Database page:

I'm having a hard time reading the characters because they appear so tiny to me, and I don't know enough about Flash to figure out how to see a larger version. That said, if they were Chinese it would be something like "mao hao qu zai 7 zhi 3 zhi jian". I don't feel very confident about the first character because I can't see it well at all. But mao sounds like the kanji described a few posts up. So... as to meaning, "mao hao" can mean colon (Smile, or possibly something like send signal? "Qu zai" wouldn't normally go together, but someone who didn't really speak Chinese might think they meant "go to." It occurred to me that 7 and 3 might be standing in for homonyms - "qi" and "san" can mean a bunch of different things. "He" usually means peace, but can also mean "and." "Zhi jian" can mean "between." So...

:go to (the place) between 7 and 3 (or possibly between two things that sound like 7 and 3)

Mean anything to anyone?

Between 7 and 3.... 5? Halfway between the two numbers. 5.jpg? 5.html (is there such a page?)?

I know I said I wasn't playing, but I wanted to chip in my opinion there. Besides, I said I wasn't playing the real ILB, and I ended up involved in that, too. Not strongly involved, but involved nonetheless.
