Well... that wouldn't be very fun would it? I mean, if kharaa and TSA marines got along all nicely what would NS be about?
It's obvious that the light marine and the skulk were smoking some weed, then they got the munchies and the marine wouldnt share, so the skulks chases after him and attacks him because he has the munchies and he wants food darnit!
And the HA accidently breathed in some of the pot, and him being so stoned thinks that the fade is a cute cuddly gorgie and jumps on his back and starts to molest and violate the fade.
I nearly didn't reply in this topic because its turned into utter crapola, but for crying out loud, the "NG Players where are the pics" thread turned into this as well.
This is a multinational forum, a multinational game and holy hell a multinational <i>internet</i>
If people are being genuinely bigoted against differant nationalities and are being purposefully cruel/nasty they need to grow up or get off the internet and marry their sister because damn is that a backwards **** way of looking at the world.
If they are just messing around then you the complainer need to grow up, I make Irish jokes and my Dads half Irish, hell my Dad makes Irish jokes. I make fun of my clan mates and people I know on irc who are from differant countries, and they do the same to me <i>because when it comes down to it we are all just people and we are all here to play this game</i>

If we ignore it then it'll get worse, worse and more worse until it's just no fun to play online.

I can understand english perfectly well, but I have a pretty nasty swedish accent...
I do use voice comms quite alot(I tend to end up on scandinavian or british servers), even on british server no one has commented on my bad accent, maybe it is just fun to tease people when they have an accent fitting in with some stereotype or preconception? (That's obviously no excuse to mock people)

guys.... if the american guys mock your accents fly to the usa... go to florida... go kick it anywhere... just make sure your accent gets heard and you'll be like some mad pimp or some like that lol...
i went to florida when i was like 15.. and omg wow.
so they mock us.. we steal theyre chicks...
and go easy on Canada.. canada rocks lol... i find it so funny how they get offended if people think they are american...

Blegh. Stupid people will be stupid people. There's nothing wrong with the British or Canadians for that manner (Comprox is a little wierd though...)
Understand that the US has rather large population, and frankly, quite a large percent of them are ignorant. Bid them no mind and come play with me on the readyroom.org servers :P
Honestly, any American mocking the British are fools, they are our bravest and most loyal allies, and for Americans to mock them, blegh.
By the way, accents...rock... Unfortuneatly, I live in California, home of no accents.
to you maybe no accent... but to me your as american as it gets <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
