Topic: Would people be interested in starting Clans, like a Mando'a culture?

I think it would be kinda cool to have Clans, where members can join up and sorta rep with their peeps, y'know.

If you're down, lemme know.

Maybe we could come up with some friendly Clan competition based activities in the forums.

my clan would be "te Werda Verda" ( "The Shadow Warriors") and I proclaim myself, "Ni Adenn Kad te Werda Verda" ("I, Merciless Sword, the Shadow Warriors.")

If you wanna join my clan, proclaim "Ni (aspect of yourself, ie. Atin Sheb 'Stubborn Backside...LOL' ) te Werda Verda". If you don't know Mandalorian, maybe I could translate it for you.

I dunno, I was kinda bored and I thought it'd be a cool idea.

I think its an alright idea, but I doubt many other people will agree with me...

It's a cool prospect.  Even so, I think there are a few members who would have trouble understanding all of the Mando'a, and have trouble keeping in with the clans and new developments.  I'd do it though, if others joined.  ((I'm a follower, not a leader))

Sounds interesting, but im not well...i dunno

cool idea, it'll work fine... once i learn how to fluently speak Mando'a (im still learning huttese)

I shal join, for i am a loyal friend, I would be "Ni, a'darasuum Caar a'te Werda Verda " ( I, the eternal Light of the shadow warriors.) yeah sounds right. please corrrect me if im wrong since i dont know mandolorian.

So...your the eternal light of the SHADOW warriors....ok that doesnt make much sense, but ok.

yeah, i never go out even in the darkest hour... but still did i spell it all correct or not?

I'm rubbish with any language, otherwise I'd consider.

As Bruce Willis said in the Fifth Element. "I speak two languages, English and bad English." :P

Bruce Willis is cool. And I consider Mando'a ordered gibberish, as I can read like five words.

Awesome! keep it up vode! Here's the link for the learn Mando'a thread posted by Dageen Fett.

http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?id=1549

jump on and learn or help if you want...

vor'e vode! (thanx brothers/sisters/comrades...)

Don't worry, we'll help you out. Or you can start up your own clan that's not as Mando'a intensive. Although I don't think fluency will be a major requirement, just for ppl who want to learn.

I'm a huge Mando fan so I'm immersing myself completely as I can (book of Mando'a I compiled at my side as a reference of course, I'm not entirely fluent myself.)

gah this is like learning italian all over again.

SWEET IDEA!!!

Anyone interested in joining 'Aliit Drakus'?  (Clan Drakus)

I love this idea....but alas...i can not.

(40k all teh way!!! well not realy, but still most of the way...)

Hey, for people like me who can't speak Mando'a, here is a site to teach you how to!  That's where I got my title, "Beroya" from.  Beroya means Bounty Hunter.  So here's the site!   http://mando.hellfireclub.net/dictionary.html

Wow, REALLY good translation there BHK.  I still need a good one like that that translates from English into Mando; is that somewhere on that site too?

Yes!!! It is a very helpful site!
Oh and btw, the translation for your name is clan drakus boss/leader/"cheif"/constable.  And I will join your clan

Ok, who wants into Clan Drakus? (and sorry Kaiza if we flamed you at all; I should have thought of this thread when I saw you with that title)

I do, if that's ok with you, Ralin. What will my new Signature be?

Ralin its ok.  It's sorta my fault 2.  I didnt think of this thread in the first place.  Well GHF click on the url that i made to the site.  It has translations for english to mando'a and mando'a to english.  Check it out!!!

Will have it in a minute

*sorry, I'm kind of slow tonight; digging through my Mando translation for something I have in mind*

Ralin, i've been working on my Mando'a, and I'm getting better!!!!

I dont understand the language but i promise i will try to learn it for a new years resolution, lol. :)

I was thinking of making the first few members into Clan Drakus (maybe the fisrt 5, if I ever get that many) into my Ver'alors' (lieutenants). 

Don't think this is a small rank, I'm using the more ancient ranking system:  King (Mandalore), Captains (Clan leader's: me), Lieutenants (you, if you want the rank), sergents (like Kaiza, unless he want's to upgrade to lieutenant) and then the grunts

So for you Green, I'd say Aliit Drakus Ver'alor (then a StarWars name if you like:  i.e. Aliit Drakus Ver'alor Joe or Ben  :P )

Also open to custom titles if you want something a little more original; we're here for fun, not for holding a cirtain rank   :D

What do you think, Green?

I don't know it at all  :P   Maybe we can learn together  :)

ok!!!  Let me go change my title to  Ver'alor

Yes so maybe  Allit Drakus Ver'alor  Ki-Adi, please

Sounds good to me, Green!  Ke-Adi is what you wan't for your name?  Ok; you can always change that latter if you like, too.  Ralin Drakus is my full SciFi name that I've had for a while.  I can help if someone wants a new one.

I need to sign off for the night  (got work tomorrow); If I'm not back for much time tomorrow, I'll be here more thursday.

Night all,

---Ralin Out

PS  The whole 'Aliit Drakus Ver'alor' is kind of long.  If you like, you can just us Ver'alor Kaiza or Ki-Adi if you think it sounds better.  I think you'll still be identified as a Drakus   :)  Either way, glad to have you guys!

Thanks, Ralin, and I'm happy to be in the club! :)

Ralin is a good guy

Can any body tell me how to say "the" in Mando'a?

"THE" in Mando'a is "te" however its considered a rare form of the language. Just use the noun without "the" present...hope that helps...

BTW kudos to Allit Drakus for their boost in membership...I think Aliit te Werda Verda actually lost a couple of members...lol...sigh...

keep it up, vode!

Thanks, V_M

I'm thinking of starting a new thread like "Clan Drakus Stuff" so I don't hijack your thread here for non-topic chat.  Anybody know where that should go?  Fans?

Yah fans would be a good place for it.  It wouldn't really have anything pertaining to Boba Fett.

thanks for telling me that! :)

Ok; I'm going to make a Clan thread there latter tonight.  Anyone hoping to join should look there; and thanks!

Oya Drakus!!!

Good idea Vod...

Although we are few Aliit te Werda Verda will post a Clan thread also...

Maybe it'll help spread the idea...

oya Vode!

i have a clan called the sos brigade want to join that?

Completely different thing, we mean on this site, not on a video game

but still if you want to join you can

If any of you are interested there are a bunch of other real life Mandos over at http://www.mand-alore.com There's a couple other clans there. And there's a forum where you can talk to other Mandos.

Neat site sola'lor!  I'll have to dig into it more when I get a chance

Cool site.  I didnt have much time to look around, but I will definitely do so soon.

Hey, can someone tell me how many clans are there, and how many members does each have?

Ralin, sir, could I become a member of Aliit Dracus?
I promise to do my math and not eat too many chocolates before dinner!

Two clans right now.  Aliit Drakus and V_M's Aliit te Werda Verda

However, we are both sharing a thread now, the Aliit Forum  In a way we're working as a single, allied unit.  However, we are working toward splitting to our own threads again when we have enough members to do so.....or at least that's the plan.  Fun with the combined thread, so maybe the split will never happen.  We are currnetly working on a RPG concept; feel free to join the conversation   :)

Always up for new members   :)   And no need for the sir, we are all Vod in the sight of Mandalore   :D   Aliit titles arn't required, but if you'd like one feel free to ask for suggestions or create your own.

BTW, PM me or V_M about joining AoS.  Not sure if you've read up to that part yet, but a development has come up making a perfect opening for new Mandos and Clones
