East or West

[Buttercup]

Hi guys, I have a question.

Often when I try to give directions ig, I find it difficult to know what’s East and what’s West.

Do you have a good rule of thumb for knowing the difference? South and North is easy, but the other two keep confusing me

[Maengish]

In german we use the sentences «Nie Ohne Seife Waschen» for NOSW.

I found some sentences in english. They say the direction clockwise:

NESW – North East South West

Naughty Elephants Squirt Water
Never Eat Shredded Wheat
Never Eat Soggy Wheat
Never Eat Soggy Wheatbix
Never Eat Soggy Waffles
Never Eat Salty Watermelon
Never Eat Sour Watermelon
Never Eat Slimy Worms
Never Enter Stinky Washrooms

By the way i have the same problem with east and west

[Katjes]

Haha I like that most of these sentences are about not eating something so hereby I propose the following summary sentence:

Never Eat Something Weird

[Maengish]

hihi i like “never eat something weird”

because the sun rises east, just realized that most of the trees in game have morning sun.

maybe christoffer can add some small letters to the compass, so its easier to remember.

[Buttercup]

Thx guys, that helped a lot! I’ll also rember ’ never eat something weird’

Koreans are used to speaking clockwise in games.
The rabbit is at 2 o’clock and 5 o’clock.
Clockwise direction can be displayed more precisely than east, west, north and south.

But I have difficulty communicating in English.
So when I expressed it clockwise a long time ago, it was difficult for the other person to understand.
rabbit 2 o’clock.
I mean, “There is a rabbit at 2 o’clock.” Was.

한국인들은 게임에서 시계의 방향으로 말하는데 익숙합니다.
토끼는 2시 방향과 5시 방향에 있다.
시계 방향은 동서남북보다 정밀한 표시가 가능합니다.
하지만 나는 영어 소통에 어려움이 있습니다.
그래서 내가 오래전에 시계 방향으로 표현했을때 상대는 알아듣기 어려워했습니다.
rabbit 2 o’clock.
내 말뜻은 “2시 방향에 토끼가 있다.” 였습니다.

[Buttercup]

That’s actually also a nice way to do it

[Katjes]

I actually did this at US server as well, because N/E/S/W isn’t precise enough. But no one understood what I meant!!! So frustrating Somehow I wasn’t able to describe it good enough

[Misty0007]

I do it this way too. Much more accurate when I don’t wanna change my home marker.

[JS-Hotsse]

I wonder.
On the US server, many people did not know clockwise.
Would it be easy to understand if the direction was expressed in an angle?
The rabbit is at an angle of 70 degrees.
Is this more comfortable than clockwise when I say “rabbit 70 degree”?
I look forward to hearing from you at 360 degrees. XD

나는 궁금합니다.
US 서버에서는, 시계방향을 모르는 사람이 많았습니다.
혹시 각도로 방향을 표현하면 이해하기 쉬울까요?
토끼는 70도 각도에 있습니다.
이걸 “rabbit 70 degree” 라고 말하면 시계방향보다 편합니까?
나는 360각도 지점에서 여러분의 답변을 기다리겠습니다. XD

[Buttercup]

No no, then I definitely think the clock is easier and more understandable

[Maengish]

in the german language we use N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S … dosen’t make it easier.

the clock is much easier to use.

[Buttercup]

We do the same in Denmark

[JS-Hotsse]

Thanks to your definitely ansawer.

And I was relieved of the experiences I shared with people.

당신의 명확한 답변에 감사드립니다.

그리고 사람들과 공통의 경험에 안심했습니다.
