Ihr müsst die Blumen retten ihn steht der Creeper bis zum Hals!
HEy, even if you are a German one, pls write evrything on English.
Ca 97% of all people playing CW are English-Speaking ones.
Even I speak English, and I am German too.
Kumpel, selbst wenn du Deutscher bist schreib alles auf Englisch.
mal so ca 97% aller Leute hier sprechen Englisch als Muttersprache.
Selbst ich passe mich an, ich bin auch Deutscher
Link, that's really not necessary. Anyone can copy-and-paste into Google Translate or Babelfish and figure it out.
Perhaps, Ikea. But the:
"Your mà ¼ sst save it to the Creeper flowers up to his neck!"
Google Translate offers doesn't have a lot of poetry to it.
In just think it's not right.
Even I am german, but I translate anyway, because mot of CW Players are Americans/English-Speaking Ones. Good taht thing with "mà ¼ sst" would even be a problem in English, tehre is no sense in German anyway xD
I think it's just polite to write in Eglish about an English Game (except there is a special room for German-Speaking Ones.)

I must respectfully disagree. I recently took a trip to Montreal and was presently surprised how well they tolerated, and even welcomed this apparent monolingual American (though I am neither monolingual nor American). We need a little more of that in this world.
As such I welcome any good non-English map-maker over anyone who submits crappy maps in English.
Of course speaking English as your primary language is not a requirement for Creeper of Creeper map making. And of course we should all be more curious about other cultures and try to gain more facility with them. Inarguable points. I think the original sentiment was that we all like the game and we all want to enjoy it and, as many of us are a dismal monolinguists, some of us need help to fully comprehend some of the offerings.
Please understand that the site administration reviewed this and other non-English maps and have approved of them. We do run the text through a translation tool as a basic screening mechanism, but unless there is something offensive in the map, these maps are welcome here. Not everybody has mastered English sufficiently well to be able to write text that can be understood by English speakers.
We do appreciate those that have English as a secondary language and takes the time and effort to write in the most common language used on these boards. Note that according to this poll (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=5273.0), more than 60% of players come from countries where English is the primary language.
Further discourse on the general topic of language for maps should not detract from specific discussion of the merits of this particular map and should probably be in a separate topic.
I was anticipating a huge spore wave, so I built a dense SAM network covering everything, all in preparation... for... one spore rock. Har!
