<div class="IPBDescription">someone translate!</div> words like 'sia', 'liao' and 'la' -- wth are people talking about when they talk like this in gunbound?? I think I remember some of these words from Ragnarok Online too... it perplexes me. I'm assuming it's bastardized Korean, but I seek enlightenment...

    Actually, if I remember right those are Thai... there appears to be a lot of Thai players on Korean online games like RO and GB.

    55555kekeke is also apparently a Thai thing... the way we pronounce "5" in Thai is their way of signifying a laugh, or something, so 555 would be their version of "lol"

    I dunno about the kekekeke thing

    But what I do know is that siao, liao and la are used in Cantonese speaking. It just so happens that there are a whole bunch of Singaporeans on Gunbound and use Cantonese.

    Generally it's just there to add some emotion to it like 'Hurry up la!' or something along those lines. I know it because anyone that is Chinese or Singaporean around me talks like that.

    But if it really bothers you, /mute is there for you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Lets say its called forcing. 'Hurry up la!' means you SHOULD hurry up. But most of the time we just ignore it (I ignore my Chinese teacher a lot....heck I wouldn't even want to step into how bad her engrish is)

    I like using 'w' for 'lol' but seeing as only japanese players understand it I don't bother with it much <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
