<div class="IPBDescription">sad way to add intolerance to others</div> well, for some reason I got kick/banned off a server for not being British. I was getting called a 'yank' and such before i was banned <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> . I MIGHT BE A YANK, BUT I'M A HUMAN BEAN LIKE ALL OFF YOU!!! ( I know I mispelled "being" just to be slightly comical about the situation) who in their right mind would kick me off for being an american? I feel so violated.

    lol, sorry, for laughing, I agree with you, it just was a little funny. Anyways maybe they are against american foreign policys or whatever, who can tell. Sound like punks to me anyway. You are better off not on their server.

    After reading through about 20 or so whining threads I've come to realize how vain they really are. Someone does something offensive to you, or kicks you off a server or something equally as downright terrible like calling you a ‘yank’…and everyone’s immediate response is to rush to the NS forums and post a thread about how your entire life has become darkened by the evil shadow that is that person…on that server…somewhere…out there. What do you think is going to happen…as soon as you post your thread the mighty hand of Jehovah is going to come reining down on this person and smack the T total **obscenity** out of them? You all crazy…go vent your anger somewhere else…like perhaps on a server different from the one that person is on…surely you’re bound to find one with only nice gnomes and ewoks playing that would never cause you any mental fatigue or stress...

    Unfortunately, quite a few people in Britain would. We have our fair share of idiots. Most of them, however, do not run servers. Are you sure there were no other reasons for your ban?

    I was browsing through the All Seeing Eye last night and noticed a "Germans Only" server.
    It even said in the name that "non-Germans will be kicked"

    Not very nice is it

    I've seen people banned for being British but I don't think I've seen someone ever be banned for not being British. Maybe there are requirements for teeth decay on the server <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's their server, they can do what they wish with it and that includes kicking Americans. Yes it sucks, but you're better off playing some where else.

    Brits have 12 year old punks just like Americans do and most likely you just ran into one with rcon is all.

    a LOT of people still think because you have a 400 ping THEY WILL LAG. this not true, it does NOT affect anyone else.

    yep.. some poor sap joined my server and had 700 ping (real ping not cpu induced fake numbers) but he played fine with an occasional spurt across the screen when he lagged and returned to action.

    several players wanted me to pick on him for lagging and boot him out etc.. they started crying the age old misconception "he's lagging us to death, this server sucks because they won't kick the lagger, I'm leaving blah blah"

    it kind of pisses me of when people are that ignorant and refuse to hear the facts <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    yeah, that makes me mad. I keep telling htem that people who have high pings don't affect players!

    The server will not lag because someone is sending info too slow or something.

    i sometimes get kicked off a server because my ping was 400. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm very positive, I entered the game having no idea that they didn't allow ppl that originated from somewhere outside G.B and this is how i remember it going refering the double-asterik as the person that started querying me.


    **: Hey there
    SynapsisRacer: Hey
    **: Where are you from?
    SynapsisRacer: USA
    **: **obscenity** yank, get the hell out of our server
    SynapsisRacer: Why?
    **: No yanks allowed, not stfu and gtfo

    ----Server disconnected



    I tried to re-join the game, but I was banned. I wonder what was their problem? I didn't do anything offensive. If they believed that myth about lag, my lag was even lower than theirs which was true because the only tool I use for any game is HLSW and I use that to join games on my favorite servers.

    my question is this....
    Why do you want to play there? I mean the server is probably in the uk so ping can't be that great, and if they are going to be racist then don't play with them anyways. There are racists in the world you just kinda have to accept it. Sad but true.
  • SynapsisRacerSynapsisRacer Join Date: 2002-11-16 Member: 8974Members
    the server name was too long to read the part wher it said UK Only, and as I said, my ping is low, just as low as if I lived right next to the thing.

    lol how is it not? euro's take on conflict is to avoid it regardless of consequences. Most disagree with America "bothering" Iraq. But if Sadam is left alone to create weapons then when would europe step in? after sadam actually used a bomb on them? Or would they even do anything then? Let's stop him before he gets anywhere. well in WWII most of europe just left Hitler alone or didn't/couldn't do much to stop him from taking over most of Europe. I don't see how people can avoid the fact that the war was over once America stepped in.

    but i'll be quiet now...dont need to start a flame thread of euros with hurt feelings. Like i said...i don't push it in their face. They start it...then i think to myself about WWII. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
