Cambrius Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I can't believe this is an actual argument I'm having, but it IS pronounced Mal-ih-foe, not Molly-fox... yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Mal-ee-foh, yes. The person youre having that argument with must be American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmiles Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 The person youre having that argument with must be American.Perhaps. The first time my friend saw it he thought it was Mal-i-fox. I had to explain to him that f-a-u-x is pronounced "foe." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to explain to him that f-a-u-x is pronounced "foe." I hope you also explained to him about the strange foreign country called "France" where they use letters and words a little bit differently? Actually, was there ever a thread on the etymology of the word "Malifaux"? It basically means "evil" or "bad" (or various derivations) plus "false" in French. False Evil? Hrm.

Dark Alleycat Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 They brits are just cranky because we stole the country from them and kicked them out when they protested. As for why the Canadians are cranky...well have you seen Canada? if that isnt a reason to be a depressed I have trouble thinking of a better one. But yes,it is,allways will be and allways has been Mal-i-Foe.But I agree I had hoped for concept art for Molly alt sculpts with old style 1peice striped swim suit.
