Jemal's New Imperial Order OOC Thread for Talking Smack But Its Okay for the Republic

[KitanaVorr]

I knew some Pham's as well, but in my area, Nguyen and Tran were more common.

I succeeded on my Knowledge (Vietnamese-American) check. Honestly, the reason I know all this is, as I mentioned, that I grew up near Little Saigon (Westminster and Garden Grove, Orange County, CA), and, well... all through high school, I had a crush on a Vietnamese-American girl , so I made a point of learning about the culture.

For example, I bet there aren't many on these boards that could tell you what an ao dai is.

LOL probably not. But they will because I plan on running a campaign using d20 Modern set in Vietnam...thus my input to Krizzel for Metal Joe to set it all up....

And I have a few of those ao dai, but all inherited from my aunts. They're beautiful and LOL definitely attention getters whenever you wear them.

It's not that tough... "Knew - win" is pretty close.

The first part is the hard part. Trying to voice the ng without voicing it, if you understand what I mean.

Hehe

Did you ever see the Vietnamese Story Hour? I showed it to Kitana but she had much criticism for a few of the character's names.

I thought it was a pretty decent story hour though. Haven't read it in ages. Or Sagiro's which I really should look at. And Piratecat's I am sooooo far behind.

I'm aware of the Vietnamese Story hour, but to be honest, I haven't read but a couple story hours. For some reason, I just can't seem to get out of the IC Forum, even though I know the SH Forum has great stuff.

You guys just shut up....I can't even pronounce MY OWN name without screwing up. I have NO accent whatsoever and you need that to speak Vietnamese. In fact I have a faint southern accent so it sounds even stranger sometimes....

I wonder why

I've hardly even hit the main page anymore ever since I got sucked in here last month.

Well, when you start you Vietnamese game, I'm in!!

As for ao dai, yeah, it's more common to see older women wear them. But a young women in an ao dai...

And that name would be?

Yeah, hearing Valleynamese was funny. I bet Texanamese is just as funny.

I usually hit the main page... outside of that, it's hit or miss.

What do you expect? Krizzel has evil in his name, after all

Err...wait, no, that's ezil. Maybe not quite the same.
