Harkonnen are Finnish

[Timenn]

In books Harkonnens have the blue eagles sign while in game they have the red aries. Why would they mix us up like this?

Because WW wants to make all bad guys in all games they make to be red. And that's because: Soviet = red

[Emperor Harkonnen]

it is a ram in the games

[Khan]

whether you talk about the book or the game Harkonnens are much more Russian than Finnish

[Timenn]

What? Only because of their names?!!?

[Caid Ivik]

I am Ivan, as like my father and grandfather who has sister Katia, my grandmother is Tatiana with brother Ivan and sister Zora. Am I a Russian because of it?

[The_Sadukar]

yes you are ;)

[Dunenewt]

And Atreides used green/black colors.

and red

[VigilVirus]

I am Ivan, as like my father and grandfather who has sister Katia, my grandmother is Tatiana with brother Ivan and sister Zora. Am I a Russian because of it?

Most likely. Don't tell me that none of the people in your line are Russian. Those are all russian names and I would know cause I'm russian myself (my name is Vladimir - just like Vladimir Harkonnen :)).

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Oh, cool a russian!! I love the russian language and history...

anyway, those names belong to a slavic language which mostly people who have those names talk. it has nothing to do with nationality, but with language.

[Caid Ivik]

All are pure Slovaks, just few Germans or Hungarians are in my family lines, even those were not less than six generations ago. Those names were given because of their rusophilic sympathy.

Ja ne Rossijec. Ani po rossijsky lucse neznaju, Vlade :)

[Emperor Harkonnen]

hey we don't understand it if you don't write in the cyrillic alphabet. >:(

only the first sentence I understood, I am not Russian

[Caid Ivik]

I haven't cyrillics. Have you a type where can I get it?

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Times New Roman has cyrillic letters. you must just use the language bar in teh right corner, and set the settings to cyrillic.

easy as hell, but you need XP,

оалывтпмывадтолвиавл see, I just wrote something. but I can't see on the keyboard what I write so it is difficult

[Caid Ivik]

I see many bizzare number-sign combos.

So I have to take XP? NEVER!!!!

[alejandro]

Anyone remembers what duke leto said when he arrives to Dune? Atreides are french.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

what did he say?

[Caid Ivik]

Anyone remembers what duke leto said when he arrives to Dune? Atreides are french.

Actrually their roots are Greek (especially written in Children of Dune).

[lowzeewee]

is gunseng a finnish name?!??!?!LOL

[Emperor Harkonnen]

ok, I dunno if that is french either. I don't know almost any french

[Dunenewt]

Paul Atreides was also speaking in French

[Caid Ivik]

French is a language of diplomacy. Every real aristocrat must know it. And Atreides? Those are symbol of aristocracy.

[Khan]

They may be aristocratic but they are not French they are definitely Greek. It states it in many of the books.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

hm..but they ar not democratic, like the greeks were

[Caid Ivik]

This is a myth. Democracy was in Athens and allied towns only, also it lasted about one century (then came tyran Peisistratos and Peloponez wars). Ruling greek nation was then Dors, and Atreides are from Achai nation.
