Stop being such bitches

Heck, the next version of Continuum should just do away with all that stuff and just be a chat program.

That would be so amazingly awesome.

How about a ?racism command. (Some productive food for thought for you rebels without a cause. Here's one you can pursue.)

Except the fact that half the time in the game is a social system that comes along with the down time

Wait , what's that? You holy quest for righteousness blind to specifics e-nannies didn't read it that time? Let's try this.

Come on gentlemen, reading requires a half decent attempt at comprehension too, oh but that doesn't matter when there is political correctness to enforce. You boys'll make mod in no time flat.

[Troll King]

Gee, that's almost strong enough an argument to have been used as a comeback the FIRST time, instead of this second time which highlights how much you had to reach for it.

[Facetious]

Yeah, Rich, I'm siding with TK here. It seems to me that most of the pillars of the community here are never racist. If you, Annux, and Ilya ran the zone, yeah, well, you'd be right, but the truth of the matter is that the majority of the TW population actually does enjoy playing TW, and I'd be willing to bet that nobody is going to quit merely because of racism rules.

Now, the racism rules do seem to be getting extreme, but the truth of the matter is that staff is just getting tired of dealing with certain people over and over again. Everyone needs to just shut up about this, seriously.

How many of you would like it if I just walked up to you while you were on a first date and told the girl, "you know, this guy spends hours defending his right to be racist on an online game. He keeps getting banned from his online game for racism. He called ConcreteSchlyrd a niglet and Dimboy a ****, and HellzNo! a spic." She'd be like, "You racist nerd. Go away. Come here, Scott Savage, defender of all that is right in Subspace. I love you," and I'd be like, "You're fat, go away."

Do you get my point, though? Wouldn't you be embarrassed if the people you knew in real life (especially the minorities...) realized that you spent hours arguing this shit? It's idiotic.

Edit: Fictional racist insults not based on actual ethnic background of Subspace players.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Take it back! Take it back!

[Cops]

It's a game, but we come here and get nothing but stress and hate. So for most, if not all, of the players, I would imagine that game=fun, and fun=stress and hate. That can't be healthy, can it?

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Nobody said TW was your own personal punching bag.

[Richard Creager]

No I wouldn't give a flying fuck face. What I do care about is how you all seem to not understand the word 'half'.

[Mayo Inc.]

I'm stupid and I just didn't really get the point you were trying to make, explain it for me. (serious)

[Troll King]

You're getting awfully upset for such a small part of half of a game.

[Jason]

Rich, just quit while TK's still ridiculously far ahead. You tried to bust in here with some off-the-cuff remark. You failed. Leave it at that.

I agree with Mayo 110%.

[pv=nrt]

my toe is bleeding and i dont know why

[Richard Creager]

You mean while TK's ridiculously wrong and you're too busy humming his nuts to notice?

And for Mayo, half of this game is down time and chatting, it's what everyone, minus domi, logged in. This rule takes away from it. Yes it's a small amount , but if shit keeps going in this direction, there won't be many people playing, or they won't be playing as much. Just about the time it takes for the actual playing to get boring again. It might not get to that point, but who is there to stop it? It's what I don't like about the rule, besides the fact people can ?ignore people who are racist and we do have auto ?obscene enabled in the zone. Racist squadnames and player names are what this rule should be for though.

[Troll King]

Dude, when people start agreeing with someone arguing against you, it means that they think you're the one that's wrong. Of course, if they were agreeing with you, I'm sure you'd be telling them to stop humming your nuts. Or maybe you wouldn't. Who am I to know if you're into that.

Here's where your logic fails you. You claim that these restrictions on chat are going to ruin the game, but then you also downplay the significance of that chat as being a small part, small enough that these restrictions won't have any affect on people staying in the game or leaving. Which is it? The way you're equating it, it's like this enforcement against racism is as big a change as taking away the javelin.

I say that the effect will be so small that the only people who will leave the zone because they aren't allowed to say racist things are the people who will be saying racist things. If that's the main loss, then I think that's the goal of these restrictions. Mission accomplished.
