smol correction

[mellow jay]

yeah :p

I deleted me saying “smol correction” when I realised that it wouldn't make sense to people who hadn't seen me post the schedule the first time

[bold copper]

dhdjdfh

[mellow jay]

but I did correct an omission

[bold copper]

very proud

[bold copper]

very out of nowhere (tout à fait inattendu??) mais tu dis pain au chocolat ou chocolatine ?

[hexed moss]

they're supposed to be two different things I think.

@mellow jay please can I not have @runic raft as my adversary 😭😭😭, I'll get merked.

[bold copper]

Je pensais qu'il s'agissait de la même chose

[hexed moss]

This is literally a one-sided fatality.

[bold copper]

Wow you’re right 😭😭

[thorn leaf]

Everyone plays everyone in the group stage.

[thorn leaf]

Same thing, just different names for it used in different parts of France/the world.

[mellow jay]

yeah the groups were randomised before the matches started, we're not changing that now unfortunately!

[hexed moss]

le monde connaîtra le chocolatine ...

Pain céleste au CHOCOLATION!

||(naruto reference)||

[mellow jay]

well, not exactly randomised, I believe I just filled everything in by order of registration, which does essentially the same thing

[hexed moss]

wait ... there are stages after the group stage too ...? 🗿

[mellow jay]

yep, that's the plan 👀 top 2 of each group will qualify

[thorn leaf]

I have a Pain poster on my wall.

[bold copper]

an elimination stage

[hexed moss]

Malbulul.

[hexed moss]

So basically I'm competing for second place.

what if someone gets the same amount of wins as me at the end.

[bold copper]

les deux contributions sont très intéressantes, mais la première gagne pour moi en raison du mythe qui la sous-tend. j’aime les mythes

[hexed moss]

you make me look like the worst french debutant ever.

did you forget to update your roles 🗿.

[bold copper]

😭😭

écrire ça m’a pris beaucoup de temps

j’ai d’abord dû traduire mon message, puis rechercher quelques mots dans wordreference, puis remplacer l’emporter par gagner et article par contribution

et je le fais pour tout ce que j'écris de difficile

[mellow jay]

It's points that matters, not victories. We can consider tiebteakers otherwise

[bold copper]

here’s the first version of this message:

à première place, je devais traduire mon message, depuis chercher quelques mots dans wordreference, depuis changer l’emporter pour gagner et article pour contribution

écrire en français est très difficile 😔

[hexed moss]

Let me see what I can make of this without translating. Pardon my extreme verbosity in advance.

okay I have no idea what à means. I've heard it used before **bientôt **, but then again, heck if I know what bientôt means too ... première means premiere, and place is place ... so: a starting place. Je means I .... and that's about it. That's how bad I am.

@inland mist how did you ... submit an entry so straightforward ... while knowing that you'd be going up against a native french speaker ... I need that amount of confidence in life ... frfr

[mellow jay]

not everyone votes based on the same criteria so you never know what can happen :) so far being a native speaker hasn't been much of an advantage at all!

[runic raft]

ooh I like s'illuner, looks like a mix of illuminer and lune

[runic raft]

you've got this, don't sell yourself short

the votes are tied after all. You just have to make it interesting and well explained, don't need to be a native for that

[bold copper]

Don’t be discouraged! Also don’t try to translate the first version bc it’s filled with errors 😭

[bold copper]

waouh, tu as raison

[inland mist]

To be honest I didn’t know that.
And I’m here for fun and learning. Winning is secondary:)
You’ve got this! (ง’̀-‘́)ง
