I'm confused is this supposed to be a meme pr? It seems like a good and logical change

Wait seriously? If lizards are getting their own language doesn't it make sense that humans would too? What is the issue here? I cannot see any argument for humans not also getting their own language that does not hinge on "muh snowflake lizards". Am i missing something?

stupid ligger go eat mud

but what if i want to eat mice instead

[cedarbridge]

Oh look. Its another Goofball tantrum.

[Lazengann]

It's not really a tantrum it's a reasonable thing to add, lizards shouldn't get any advantages over humans

>lizard lets an ashwalker on station because "lizard pride :D:D"
>ashwalker walks into atmos and floods plasma
Ligger genocide best day of my life

[danno]

it's a good idea, but it's still a goofball tantrum
look at the syllables he's adding

[Lazengann]

I don't see a problem??

All spacemen are either American or Wapanese.

[confused rock]

The only problem with the pr is that the word choice for if you cant speak it is a dank meme. It should just be "blah blah yada yada" or something

[Shaps-cloud]

Thematically it makes much more sense that humans would force alien creatures to learn their languages in addition to the ones they already speak than it would be for human to learn a galactic common language and still keep human languages, similar to how English speakers are far less bilingual than those of other languages

I want to see what, if any, impact having an extra language in the crew has before handing out extra languages to everyone.

Also ironically enough giving humans their own language is far more likely to result in lizard metagangs if people decide to communicate to exclude them.

A minority of the crew speaking a seperate language might irritate the majority, but a majority of the crew speaking a seperate language might make the minority role near unplayable. I know lizards are not sympathetic, so imagine being a plasmaman and not being able to understand 90% of the radio.

Would definitely be interesting to test though if this next month or so goes well with lizard language.

I thought this was the goal

We don't need plasmaman 2.

And even then, this nerfs ALL the other races.

[Lazengann]

Wow what a shame

[Armhulen]

unironically racist to 2d lizards

[calzilla1]

I updated the wiki

They talk funny and get mad when you make fun of them for it

[Jacough]

You know, it might be interesting to see what would happen for a couple of rounds each race spoke their own language, if only for a social experiment. Certain terms could be universal like Atmos, sec, bomb, etc.

Be interesting to see if it adds a bit of racial discrimination and mistrust between races or perhaps a bit of cooperation with people of different races in departments acting as interpretators for others of their race.

[MrEousTranger]

I saw this thread at the top of Ideas and thought it said

Fear not my friends I have Fixed the Ian

This shall be my only comment.

This would actually be kinda funny to see how people overcome the language barrier as an event. PDAing would have to be disabled or garbled up though

I think any issues with either minority or majority getting upset could be solved if everybody could speak the same language, some kind of unified, common language... Hmmmmmm.....
Coders get on this

You mean like some sort of common tongue?

Spoiler:

Give me a disease that removes the ability to speak and understand Common

Except if the majority elects to not speak common (and they likely would not speak common) the minority then forms a metagang by necessity, and then people start screaming to ban them.

[oranges]

They're gonna scream either way, you're deluded if you think otherwise

[Dr_bee]

I would like more than one species unique language for humans and lizards. It would be more interesting to me if humans had, for example, english, japanese, and russian and lizards had Draconic and Ash-cant. It would give humans thier cultural background and separate lizard players who like to play regular lizards and those the like to play ash-walker style lizards.

[Jacough]

> that title change

A real fix for Ian would be making him attack wanted people by latching on to them and holding them in place by biting their leg if you put a helmet and armor on him.

[Nilons]

Kor is right we should see how JUST adding liggerspeak goes and make the next move after
