Boldly, I think we are in complete agreement.

The Spanish reply thing is a mess. How about I just send this back to them, plain and simple and in English.

I agree that the whole discussion with the Spanish is a mess, but that's not the message I would send. I still fail to see how sending a message (in English) stating that we didn't understand them last time would be offensive.
Or screw it, send the same message in English AND Spanish to them. We've certainly run around in enough circles over sending something to the weakest team on the map.

Me neither, but when I suggested that it was shouted down pretty emphatically.
Non-update update on CivPlayers front - no news still. Trying to connect with Decebal on chat, but he seems spotty in availability.

FWIW, I agree with sending the Spanish something like this: "Sorry, we didn't quite understand your last message. Would you prefer to communicate in Spanish in the future?".
I think we ran in circles about this message because... there's not all that much going on. Sigh, what a turn to pause the game.

I think this is a great reply. Send this, IMO.
If you know what I mean.

Its not offensive, it just makes us look clueless. Your draft is perfect scooter.

A lot of people agree with you. Bigger was just spamming them down.

We have several players who are very comfortable in Spanish, so if you would like to just explain in Spanish that would be fine too.
Thanks,

I like Scooter's draft too.

Looks good to me. Why not put it in English, google-Spanish and Rego-Spanish - should be good for some laughs (which this team seems they will enjoy).
