Re: Which "form of address" pronoun should be used in Freeciv in German?

Hi!

A poll would be very considerate, but I'm too lazy for that, so for Polish
I use more the informal option (which would roughly correspond to "du" in
German) or some impersonal sentence. I guess this kind of decisions are
yours to make and you can trust your native speaker's intuition. From my
experience, players pay much less attention to the nuances of our decisions
than we think :)

Best,
Hubert
