Regarding septimus's front page post

[thestalkmore]

UAE LS on my server has at least 5+ bought characters.

Septimus's new post may have been a joke, but he obviously wanted a laugh from a common prejudice amongst the general NA population.

Seeing how around 1/4 of BG's accounts were RMTed to other players makes it kind of ironic and ballsy on sept's part. Maybe he wanted a shock laugh. /shrug

[Zilong]

you get a -point cause thats not a uae flag

prove it with science

The flag in the picture has a red triangle containing three angles which when combined equal a sum of 180 degrees. This is the flag for Palestine.

The UAE flag has a red rectangle, which contains four equal 90 degree or "right" angles, totalling 360 degrees.


Math is sort of like science... maybe...



SCIENCE!

What are you? some sort of scientologist?

you talk like we wanted or even had any control over that happening

[Demosthenes11]

riots over a political cartoon anyone?
Get the fuck over it, it's a joke. Jews can take jokes. Black people can take jokes. The right wing religious people can take jokes. Why the fuck should you be any different. Sick of all this politically correct bullshit, it's called being a man

[Lordwafik]

Why call it a common prejudice when in fact it's a common observation, not only from Bahamut, but from anyone pretty much who's interacted with UAE players? I've seen moron UAE gilbuyers on our server too, Sushix is the best example, his only job was WHM but had +1 everything and never farmed a day in his life, his UAE buddies were all the same and interchanged accounts.

If the joke was against Chinese gilsellers, I'm sure chinese people wouldn't make a post like this saying to remove it. It's silly stuff like this that makes me lol, they can throw stones(so to speak) but they can't take one when it's thrown at them, it has to be removed, and occasionally a religious shield comes in there too.

I didn't know people were prejudice now.

I'm going to go down to the park and:

Me: "DOWN WITH THE ARABS!"
Someone: "YEAH, NO GOOD TERRORISTS!"
Me: "Terrorists? What the fuck are you talking about? THEY BUY FROM RMT!"

btw, isn't it something the general JP and EU populations are aware of, too, not just the general NA population?

[Rosencrantz]

Who cares anymore about RMT?

I don't have RL money to throw out of windows to buy gils but i know a lot of people who did buy gil and i just don't give a shit anymore since a while... If they want to enhance their char like this, they sure got better gear than me but i could care less.

I sold gils when i first quit and made almost 600$ back in july and no one cares too.

The way the game is atm dont really favorize gilsellers anymore anyway.

In my opinion, all this "yourmtyoureafag" is really old fashioned.

I think you have this mindset because you're on remora, seriously, not trying to be a smartass here. A few friends of mine I spoke with recently also had no problems speaking to me how they openly RMT'd after moving to remora, both buying and selling, I couldn't really beleive it. It's very shunned apon on my server, probably because we have been hit hardest by gilsellers.

RMT is still a no no for me.

[Tomino]

i think septimus had all rights to make that innocent joke.

i think any UAE has rights to get upset by it and express such feelings in the forum.

i think i read some really stupid and unnecessary replies to the OT with too much guys here wanting to be the internet cool boy of the day. and lol to those mentioning "stone ages" or trying to get hilarious over a strong defined culture

[LD]

How is writing the UAE any more racist than bitching about chinese people, like we do day in & day out?
Least he tried to take it in another direction isntead of something completely predictable.

[byrdclaw]

If the front page of BG represents the shell as a whole, then you may represent your culture as a whole. You have now just fulfilled yet another stereotype of your crappy culture. No matter what injustice, no matter how tiny, no matter if it's a joke or not, is some fucking outrage that will cause the world to spin backwards.

Seriously man... learn to pick your battles. A fucking blurb on BG's front page should not be something that sets you off on a tirade. You are now another reason for people to hate arabs. Congrats!

Good thing I never brought up my prophet Mohamed in a sistefk pearl idea.
