sorry. nighthawk.. great idea but the further removed from the PM control, the forum become just another place for oog chatter..
i've been in for a while but i'm officially dropping even reading along with this one.
the french-english polarization is (to my mind) quite contrary to the nature of ARGs, at least international ARGs. (that is, ARGs that have opened theirselves up across the internet to multiple countries) I've followed (alas not played) german/english args (90%german 10%english) that were better constructed and more responsive.

i have no problems translating (via the googlator), and making new friends who speak french that would have helped out. ( waves to Mlle. S. ).
For those who tire of 'translating" everything, you should try this Foxfire add on called Fox Lingo. just the click of two buttons on the toolbar will translate an entire webpage from many different languages via your choice of internet language translators. It may not be a perfect translation (especially with mobster type and french-canadian idioms and such, but i find the google translator comes VERY close, or at least close enough for comprehension.)

good luck!!!

The Fox Lingo thing is cool. Tx.
The problem I have tho, is that it will not translate and entire page, when in the yahoo group.....because a password is required. So I log into the group page, then click translate page, and I get sent back to sign in again. So, if I want anything translated, it has to be copied, then pasted. 200+ messages per day gets old fast. Then when it's translated, a sentence like "the dog is chasing the cat" comes out like: Chasing cat was the dog....which makes Advil richer and me grumpier.

I signed up on your new page Nighthawk, it looks great. One note: if you place anyones name in the referred spot, it will not let you register. And I believe the little box of letters (security from bots signing up...srry, dont know what its called) is case sensitive or I need an eye doctor sooner than I thought Smile

I dont think the PM has any problem with different groups, as long as we go back to the main HQ to get missions, and give our answers when due. Our boss has said this (IN FRENCH) and that the americans will be needed for things in Dallas and Austin, (ALSO IN FRENCH! lol) and he has since never once translated anything in English.....Feel the love!

OK so we have, The Rivard Forum, Nighthawk's Forum, Brodie's Forum and a Yahoo forum? Are there any others out there? I am trying my best to keep up but right now I am not even sure where to go to talk about the game. I think we are still working on Mission 1, but I havent seen anywhere to "submit" the answers. Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can talk to the CN team openly about the game? (In English preferably or least where people are posting bi lingual)

Sad news but I think I'm out on this one. I'm gonna be without connection for a bit so I want be able to keep up. I'll probably lurk a bit due to intrigue. God Speed everyone.

As one of the English speakers who does their best to translate to French for everyone on the fora, I just got smacked down on the Yahoo site for asking for help with translations from French to English.

From now on, I am using the English only site exclusively.

To the PM's, if you don't address this issue, I suspect that Cosa Nostra is going to lose most of your American contacts so good luck convincing the Quebecois to travel to Texas for your ARG.

I'm curious if the FBI is suffering similar issues.

Well, if Cosa Nostra loses all of their american players, they lose. Simple. And they were even warned by M.Paul. They have done nothing to keep english speaking people in the group....in fact, they have insulted us more than once.

I am strickly staying at rivard.brainclouds.info

Which has some new info there...hint hint. Go check it out.

I would like to have address to Brodie's site. Apparently that information was only given to three ppl?

This is the funniest translation so far:

Also you should register on the forum secure if you have the gout.

____________

MPaul mentioned entering answers. Does anyone know where?

Translated:
There is a code to get the answers ...
It will already find the system of this code, and then enter your responses ...
