This is the beginning of a project called “Hattriquette”. The idea is to add a dimension currently almost absent in the game.

I'm talking about interaction between managers arranging a friendly match. I have sent my friendly match opponents mails like ”Welcome to play a friendly game at Funtomium (my stadium).” I have gotten some replies, but many times there has just been silence. No “hellos”, “thanks” and ”greetings”. It is funny, that a Finn starts to discuss about this subject. We are thought to be a nation which is unable to “small-talk” with strangers.

The basic idea is to collect in each language the game is played some basic frases concerning the friendly match. This is an “at least” agenda. The writings can be stored in hattrick wiki or somewhere else in the internet, if this forum proves to be inappropriate for this project.

This example here will hopefully clarify the idea a bit:

A Finnish manager hosting a friendly match writes to an English speaking manager from England:

Tervetuloa Suomeen!
Toivottavasti joukkueesi viihtyy ja onnea peliin!
Ystävällisin terveisin

Welcome to Finland!
I wish your team a pleasant stay and good luck for the game.
Yours
Funny Tom

The visiting manager replies (in Finnish and/or English):

Kiitos! Onnea peliin myös sinulle.
Ystävällisin terveisin

Thank you! Good luck for the game.
Yours sincerely / greetings
“The-visitor-from-England”

or after the game:

Kiitos pelistä!
Ystävällisin terveisin

Thank you for the game!
Yours sincerely / greetings
“The-visitor-from-England”

I haven't thought out all the details of this project. Maybe we can do it together, learn something from each other and have Fun.

Yours,
Funtom from Finland
