Just english for now, although at least one of my characters has encountered some Polish people and had some success with learning a few words from them.

My characters met Swedish, English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Russian and Polish people.

It's pretty rare to meet any Russian characters with just 13 russian characters. So yay. :P

I like how one of the English towns got some swedish people there and now there are quite a few swedes there. They learn how to speak the English language, we help them, lots of fun. :)

Only met Spanish and Polish myself. But the Poles are everywhere, so it doesn't really count.

I wonder if it would be a CRB if one of my characters commited genocide on the Russians by hunting down all 13 of them and killing them, just because they were Russian?

I'm not PD, but I don't think it would, as long as your guy was insanely racist.

If you want to kill them all and are satisfied with killing 13 of them, then yes.
One of my characters wants to kill all spanish people. They're bad. ;)

Genocide is bad. It would definitely be a CRB just to kill off a language group because you know from OOC statistics how many characters there are. But I assume it was a joke.

Trying to kill off a language group just because it's small would be a CRB, but killing all Russians because they piss your character off probably won't.
Pretty in pink.

Far as I can remember, the Dutch have always hated the Spanish. I should know; some of my ancestors were Dutch.

I don't really hate the spanish. I like all people, except the meanies. :)
My character, however, was taught that spanish are bad by the town leader. ;)

She. ;) And ya. Lol. I hate a lot of Dutch people though. Seriously, the government here is TEN TIMES worse than in America. (okay.. I lied.)
They made all kinds of mushrooms illegal now. Lol, even the QUEEN is illegal now. I'm sure she has at least some mushrooms in her huge garden.

Oh and there's like... people being sent to some weird country where they speak a language that even they don't speak because some mistake that the GOVERNMENT made. They are soooo stupid.

Just be glad you're not American, having to live with the mistakes of Dubya and the face he put on America.

Joo,
does your character have a good IG reason to hate russians? If not => CRB. If do => go ahead and try, but your character will never know whether he got them all :mrgreen:
I think ...
