This whole event was surreal, man.
I mean, I was pretty drunk, but it was absolutely eerie. Out of 33 or so players that were on our team, I know most of them from cRPG decently well; maybe 3 at most have even a tiny bit of white supremacist notions in their head. Of course, I understand that people get offended at certain things easily. I understand that I've not had certain experiences that others have had, and it is practically impossible to empathize enough to claim full comprehension of their experience or suffering.
Now for once, I'll back down to Bale. He's got chilluns, and it ain't proper for them to hear this sort of thing. They'll start thinking its cool to say IRL, and GOD FORBID in this day's political climate his kids start spouting that dumb shit off at school.
But he's got the only real excuse in my book. It is fine if people consider this an outlandish or (lol) offensive belief, but I do consider it absolutely voluntary to be offended or have negative emotions evoked. I'm against any sort of censorship, outside of spreading IRL information without consent.
But you guys don't really get it right now. This isn't about THE RIGHT TO SAY friend, OUR GOD-GIVEN LIBERTY TO USE RACIAL SLURS as you seem to think it is.
In fact, I'm not quite sure WHAT it was about. It wasn't just about "lol, say friend xDDD they cant ban us all ROFL its gonna be so funny!" Sure, that was an inevitable part of it, especially to the more childish people (read: me), but it isn't the full story at all.
It seemed like a bunch of autistic nerds in a channel simultaneously realized that they would experience improved quality of life if they didn't play anymore. It was a burden for leaders recruiting folks for hours beforehand, only to get 30 or so mercs on a side. It was a large and significant battle. It isn't as if either side performed excellently; we weren't "rage-quitting" because we were getting fucked on.
From the best I can piece together (like I said I was pretty lit af), damn near every single nerd in the TS in that strat battle got infected with the healthy desire to quit cRPG/strat. After it happened, the relief from certain folks was palpable. Like, it was a "its finally over..." thing.
So, the only person(s) I'll apologize to for my part in this is Bale or anyone else playing in close proximity to wee lads n' lasses that don't need to be exposed to ironic pseudo-racism (my own favorite brand of humor) just yet.
Everyone else that experienced disgust, offense, or otherwise were filled with negative emotion made a voluntary decision to be offended and should work on that.
actually i apologize to kesh, im sure that the vicarious pain he felt on behalf of his teammates was worse than anything any of the rest of us have experienced in our lives, i am sincerely sorry for causing such suffering to one solely representing the disadvantaged
Dynamics and I just got 3-4 players to come back and play so we would almost have as many players as you at the battle. I personally begged Snoop to come to our battle. Sandy, your rationalization that it is okay except for kids is stupid, nevermind all your clanmates upvoting you. I wasn't the one offended, but I was seriously pissed. The first strat battle for some of our black clanmates in months and you juvenile assholes start spamming the n-word like crazy because your clanmates egg you on. I can completely understand why some of our players don't want to play again after being thoroughly reminded what a shit community is left in crpg. If you had any idea how hard it is to get players back to this mod and then you not only pull this shit, then expect it to be acceptable simply as long as kids not around? You rationalizing, self-absorbed ass.
I hope that you are not so stupid that you think just because all the players that got banned and your clanmates upvote you and downvote me that somehow your actions are acceptable.
P.S. If you wanted to quit (no evidence of that in the ts recording) do it in the same melodramatic way as everyone else, give away your looms and doa dramatic post in general discussion. Don't be an asshole having you and your friends spamming the n-word and driving off even more players from this game. Sometimes you have good reasoning, but this recent post is pure rationalization drivel without any manning up and acceptance of fault. You and your guys need to get over yourselves and actually think about other people for once you trolling assholes.
And artyem you fucking hall monitor, you are a shit admin for encouraging people in ts to say n word, instead of like us telling our guys not to be assholes and don't say that word (couple did before then, none after). There never would have been a ban wave if you hadn't acted like an insensitive child and encouraged everyone to start spamming it. TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS INSTEAD OF WHINING LIKE FUCKING BABIES! MAN UP YOU CHILD!
Lol the whining at the end of the video was hilarious. Desire was just doing the admin job, all you had to do was stop being fucking trolls and be fucking respectful of other to prevent a 2 day ban. Some of you proudly saying the n-words in your ts like some internetz racist heroes. Fully deserved that shit you whiny assholes.
