What do "events," "rush," "tank," and "watch" mean?

Katsuaki · (#3 (**permalink**))

Hello sir, in Steam, i play left 4 dead game.

In rules, you should stay with your team. If you "rush", you will break rules.
Events are like, hordes witches car alarms.
Watch mean is, be carefull with your friendly fire.
Tank is a green mutant, he is a boss in game.
If you burn the Tank, it just makes him faster, it doesnt give any damage to Tank. That is why i said -do not burn the Tank-

Please look left 4 dead at youtube. Its the best zombie game.
We have a lot of japanese members but they dont speak english :-s
So i wanted to make a japanese rules for them

I'm still a bit unsure as to the meaning of "events," so I went with generic literal translation of "event." And it sounds like Tank is a person/character.

So here's my attempt. It's probably not perfect, but it's better than the nothing you have so far. I did it partially for my own practice (in hopes that a native or other skilled person will not only help you, but correct my attempt). I also tried to make it sound a bit like a military guy might be saying it by ending my negatives with ぬ.

部隊から離れぬ。 (Do not separate from the unit/group.)
イベントをはじめぬ。(Do not begin events.)
タンクを焦がさぬ。(Do not scorch/burn Tank.)
友軍誤射注意 (Beware friendly fire)

Also, a better (more clear) English way of saying this might be:
"Do not start any events; stay with the group; do not attack Tank with fire; watch out for friendly fire!"

1. you need "out for" in "watch out for friendly fire" to be more clear.
2. I used to play Counterstrike. "Rush" to me sounds more like "attacking the other side too quickly" rather than "running away from the group."

KyleGoetz, your understanding of the Japanese language is stellar.
