I must believe you? I'm talking about this.
Word pica in Serbian can be picka (pu..y)
but can be Pizza depends on whether you have
dirty imagination or not.

I fail to see that by being women, they are morally unaccountable for purposefully using words considered to be offensive in up to three different countries. You think just because they are female, they are unable to have any negative aspects, such as swearing or behaving irresponsibly?

The word jihad is not considered offensive in the English language.

This is an English server.

This can't be passed off as a coincidence, not all twelve ships. But thats already been said, so the real purpose of this message is to say:

Shagohad, your sig is too big.

A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.

Regardless, it's deliberate. I'll also point out that the anecdotal evidence you just used, is outweighed by other people from the same region saying exactly the opposite, and pointing out that it's really very offensive.

I could publish all the forum PMs, conversations on skype, and various other bits and peices here if you so require. I'd have to remove the names of the people who sent them... But I could.

Race has nothing to do with the language used here.

Words must have shared meaning or they have no meaning.

Faca that's not offensive. This is a private FL server not something public you get for BUYING THE GAME, and yeah you bought the game right? Yeah just like i did ^_^
Either way, private game, private server private rules. It was always like it or leave it. We all had at least 5 or 6 disagreements with admins and we know there's really no strong point in arguing their decisions. But this, this is really petty from your side.

Don't make yourselves victims, Joe said he banned you because you guys were trying to make us all look dumb by saying that the names aren't sounding offensive at all. Frankly I don't care, but Joe is an admin and when someone explains how croatian and serbian are similar languages and then you proceed to convince him they're not - now that's just playing with a man.

for playing with names you get a temp ban and for continuing with your "lies" you get a continuous ban. It's kinda that simple. I bet an apology to Joe would smooth things up better than many other things you've got in mind.


@wratah - already told Joe about the balkan customs and how curses aren't meant for anyone specifically. I don't think anyone is upset about the names, that's lvl 1. Level 2 would be being upset about the tons of bull they tried to sell.
