Just got this message on NukeZone from a CT of the clan we're at war with.
"FÖRKLARA KRIG ERA FEGISAR!"
I need a hand here... I can tell it's something about war, but not much else.

It says: "Explain war you faggots", but it may not be faggots, maybe something else.

OK, I see... they want us to declare war back so they can pound us harder. I don't think so

No, it means "Declare war, you cowards!"

Hah, cowards. No, we're just smart
One of their members has a NW of almost a million, and to let him have free access against our weakest members would be... suicidal.

It's definetely "Declear a war, you", but I'm not exactly sure what the last word means. I've heard it before, and it's certainly not used in a positive sense. I know I should've paid more attention during my Swedish lessons...

Haha! you found the wonder of Swedish.
"Föklara" means Declare OR Explain it all depends on the sentence.
One other great thing to harras people with in Swedish is “Banan” witch means Banana OR Strip (as in air strip)
"Planet" means Planet or Aircraft.
So this sentence "Planet landade på banan" means "The aircraft landed on the airstrip."
But anyone using a dictionary might get this "The Planet landed on the banana."
There are loads of those words in Swedish, invented buy the Swedes just to screw over anyone trying to learn it

Maybe we should declare war. Everyone bulk up on one type of unit. Otherwise the high networth people will keep funding the poorer ones indefinitely. However only do so when you are fully loaded with nukes. Stick with conventional, bulk up on forces, then declare war. Killing a few of their members might be a good idea. Of course the high ranking players might (do) have an assload of nukes, so doing that is opening a can of worms.
We'll need potshots from SDNet though.
Or if you think you can last, just try to wear them out.

No, we should be able to wear them out given time. Maybe. But given what happened to SDnet when they went in over their head, I really don't want to have the same problem.
