BAM! Damn that was hilarious. Yes, although it's scary that most Americans on this board wouldn't know a shift key or period if it danced naked in front of them, some Americans <b>do</b> know English. Also, one of my best Internet friends is British, and we mock each other all the time in good fun. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've never really had a generally bad experience with European players, oftentimes I find them more agreeable than North American players. I might be biased in this opinion, though, being in a clan that is 60% European. There are bad apples in every country, and you can't really discriminate against a particular country or even <b>continent</b> based on the actions of a few. I'm certain there are dozens of servers in North America that restrict against European players, it isn't a strictly European thing.

Funny you say that. 60 years ago there were some germans who thought they can do what they want as well. History shows where this leads to. But since you can not even write a readable text in your own native language i assume you don't know anything about history as well. Anyhow, in germany we have a proverb for this kind of behaviour:

Well, to answer your question, how would you feel if you'd recently lost the most powerful empire in history? I think that's why the British are so aggressive sometimes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyway, your online experience seems very demoralizing. There are games where US bashing rarely occurs though. I play a lot of Americas Army: Operations myself, and there's hardly any bashing whatsoever - and when there is, you can report it to the always-present admin (on official servers that is) and have the annoying brat kicked within a round or so. I love that.
OK, i have to make a comment on the country bashing here. Yes, I am an American, and I am damn proud of it. And I'll be the first to admit that we have our fair share of morons, just as any other country in the world does. Stupid people are EVERYWHERE, you can't avoid them.
However, we also have a fair number of intellegent people, with respectful attitudes towards everyone else, regardless of where they were come from. I like to think of myself as one of these people. (although i will admit i tend to rant and say some pretty nasty things when frustrated, however they are never directed at a particular person, or ethinicity, or race, etc. )
As for judging people's english on what they post in forums....well i dont believe thats a valid way to judge it. say im watching something else other than my screen as im typing. if i turn from the tv or whatever and see i wrote:
"look, im nnot in the mood to deel wiht your ingorant attude"
im not gonna waste my time going back to delete and fix it all. you would get my point. that's what is important. and i think the same goes for many people.
Now, i forget who it was that was talking about people saying they like saddam and osama and all that, and im not gonna bother to go back and get the qoute. people, this is just flat out wrong. If you dont like my president, fine. go ahead and express your grief in a legitamate matter, but not in the game. we're here to have fun, not debate over political issues and problems. thats what life is for. everyone needs an escape from this once in a while, thats why i play games. its nice to let wander off in a fantasy world and kill things to let off steam.
please stop the country bashing
**sorry i had to fix one sentence, its almost 2 in the morning, im tired and what i wrote didnt make any sense what - so - ever. otherwise i would have left it**

Well I am in Western Australia and yes at times we do kick American and overseas players to make room for local players instead. Mainly because we do not have as many servers especialy in WA so some Americans and overseas players find themselves kicked to let others join the game. Can be thought of as rude but really it is just to get the people that are local whome the servers are for to get a go before anyone else as it is them who make the controbutions.

In fact, I've never seen any OOC chat...
Also, I'd be very suppressed if any brits are pro-Jahad, you do know a plane was also ment to hit the British Houses Of Parlement.

I like how you can't spell "english" correctly.
GG solid grasp of language skills, GG
Please I am now going to rant, I will try to piece together proper sentences (at least I'll try)
[RANT]
OK WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!
Jobabob, the English do not (contrary to your belief) hate everyone, that statement is wrong, go away or play nice
Germans learn English very young and have a very extended vocabulary they can speak English and do it very well
Nicegame the English do not think they are elite if we were we would be neutral and sit on our butts while everyone blows each other up
[/RANT]
I feel much better now!
OK AFAIK many servers end up passworded so lamers can't just join muck around then leave (At least that was the theory behind blueyonders password)
And just as a footnote I've had better experiences on European servers that American ones (Theres more teamwork)
