I think 15m ban is a bit very light for such demeanour. Perhaps 3 days would have been sufficient, but I don't think you should be any more lenient than that. Look at what he was saying, lol... I think 1 week is quite fitting~

Name, do you still have that clip of the epic carrier fight on midway with the carriers going side by side?

- Please respect all players. Behaviour only meant to disturb or upset players is forbidden.
Is this rule being applied at all?

The server is called simple for a reason. There will be no complex rules volturi.
But what runs in the background should maybe be overhauled.

The question is if it's done excessively or it's just a single occasion. Sometimes you just bail out of habit and when you realise it was a bad idea you just hit the ground.

Pretty sure 000 was doing it literally all the time for a while. That's a difference.

The Hill seems like a legit newspaper. Maybe you should watch the video first.
They are probably just click-baiting.

Have to give this one to Dakota. Pretty pointless statement. Could also direct you to some places in East Germany to walk. There is nothing in particular about "these black gentlemen". Also the "white social justice warrior" is another stereotype.

Why is this demeaning behaviour necessary at all? It's a valid question.

Either you're interested in a constructive discussion or you are trolling...

First of all, I agree that it's not entirely clear since Germany is holding back information that they claim to have.

To 1, it's very hard to trace and proof that it was used making it kind of impossible to find the assassin.

2-5 Are easy to explain. The entire body of the state does not operate unison. No secret service will involve local airports or hospitals in their missions. Completely absurd to theorise like that.

That the Russian Government was behind it is the most likely but a "false flag" operation in the sense of trying to blame things on Russia is also possible.
Unlikely we'll ever know the truth.

That people first were Italians, etc. and then became white is exactly what I was referring to that you can't erase categories entirely in our current reality. Obviously these are mendable and morph over time.
If people become too similar they will find new differences again. People seek belonging naturally, that's biologically hardwired behaviour, it does not need any other purpose.

Compare with realistic conflict theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realistic_conflict_theory and for example the Robbers Cave Experiment in particular.

Follow my thoughts. I simply meant to express I don't need any confirmation of what I think in this regard. People may take it or leave it...

That's preposterous and in dismissal of the possibility that other intellectual cultures outside of that of your own can exist at all. Furthermore I don't even know if nameless is white or not, whatever white may mean in this context.
Imagine a group of "white" people going on a trip around the earth near light speed before the age of slavery so time passes very slowly for them relative to the people living on earth. You can't just impose historical/philosophical developments on them out of nowhere when they come back to earth.

You are generalising your own intellectual culture and beliefs at a rate that is severely unhealthy for communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds. That is ones that are not part of the western ethnocentric constructivist bubble.

Clearly this isn't a scientific environment why would I expect anything scientifically new to come of it. But perhaps I can make some points that nameless or you have not thought about or heard of before.
I don't expect anyone to follow me, I'm just following myself.

What you're debating now is exactly one of the core problems in cultural sensitivity.
How far do people need to adjust to cultural differences and in which case is an attempt for a neutral standpoint justified or even required.

As I've seen nameless correctly point out at other times, negro means black and one can also find the UNCF in Washington D.C. "The United Negro College Fund" which is a welfare organisation aimed to provide students of colour with scholarships or any student attending a historically black college or university.

Clearly nameless has a point and while some may argue that adequately debating in this case would be a waste of time, you're not giving the subject enough credit by giving it some half-assed attempt. This will just lead to a consolidation on both sides which isn't beneficial for anyone. Doing so just out of spite or a form of cynicism is thoughtless and you'd better avoid a confrontation entirely then.

The other side is that a large group of people seem to have agreed upon that due to how the word was often used historically it would be better to avoid using this term. Why?
Because words are powerful and people want to leave a negative part of history behind themselves in order to move on. Perhaps there are also some very personal words you'd rather not hear, maybe names of people that hurt you when you had no power over it. The ability to relate is fundamentally required to understand the concept.

Now, as in any type of progress. The collective mainly relies on that you understand and accept this sort of notion of your own free will. Because it is hard or impossible to impose something like this on you. However, there can be circumstances where your refusal of acknowledgement can only lead to one possible objective conclusion, that you either do not possess the ability to some basic social abilities like empathy or despite having them refuse to make use of them, which would thereby classify you as socio- or psychopath.

When the clear majority has established social rules and norms that you refuse to follow and actively disobey then you're leaving the grounds of what can be considered socially acceptable.

Now perhaps the circumstances in some regions or cultures are different but when you cross the borders, in virtuo or in vivo, then you also cross the borders of the validity of your culture and you can't reasonably expect the same rules and norms to apply. Being culturally sensitive would mean to adapt and find a common ground which is naturally difficult when many different cultural backgrounds collide. Ideally you should try to learn from each other and adjust when it doesn't completely destroy your identity since convergence is generally more desirable for a community than divergence. Otherwise you should learn to tolerate one another.

By what do you measure big issues?
Drugs including alcohol cause much higher fatality rates if you take them for a scale.

The US have a problem with their high crime rates especially in combination with gun violence when compared internationally. Whenever "silly things" are done or even allowed in our western world then that is usually because someone has been making a ton of money out of it.

What can you do about black on black crime without tackling socio-economic issues? This will be expensive for the state. The money would not flow towards arms dealers but social workers, teachers etc.
That's all terrible investments in the eyes of the economically influential. The only good investments are when money from the state flows towards their own industries. Hence these kind of news will not gain any priority.

Blaming some random violent police men is easy though. That's an issue to keep people busy while nothing really changes.
The US has systemic issues, they can never be fixed by focusing your attention towards singular incidents. Regardless of if you focus on a singular incident of black on black crime, police officers displaying criminal misconduct or whichever such event was picked by the media to receive attention.

He already said he will try to change. What more could he say right now?

Makes no sense to keep blaming and petrify him. Just leave it with saying he won't get pardoned...

Then you might as well just spawn the planes in the air like in the modern battlefield games. You can also put planes in rotational bundles and add a spawn point to them using some trickery so you can directly spawn inside the planes.

I think the circle makes more sense than an ellipsis or a line though.

Hello everyone,

I don't usually frequent here but I want to say something regarding this topic:

Personal ideology should not play a role in the game. I'm very displeased by the fact that I have to read some unnecessary and highly questionable announcements while playing the game. The server is being (ab)used for a form of provocative propaganda which I think has no place in a game server. You can do share this kind of things here on the forum in a section where not everyone is forced to acknowledge this alternate history theory. I might even be willed to debate with you for a while to try to explain to you that the whole point of sexual reproduction is the mix of genes and not the segregation of some antrophological constructs.

But... When I'm on the server I want to play the game and not be annoyed by some announcements trying to patronize me!

And for this reason I also believe that nicknames which try to induce ideology to the game should be banned. Especially when it's done in such a provocative and obvious manner as by the people in question. Their main intention is to provoke and cause trouble, otherwise they would not start using such a clan tag in the first place.

There are plenty of decent people playing  and admining on simple and trying to maintain a good atmosphere there. In regard of the community as a game community, this whole ideology casus is being nothing but poisonous.

Also - offtopic:
Please adjust the map rotation! I have played el alamein conquest on simple once in 3 years. I get that ctf is especially fun for new and not so skilled players that like to fly around with turbo jeeps and basecamping. But el alamein conquest is the most attractive map for pilots apart form Gazala. CTF just ruins it. Add cq to the rotation, stop changing the rotation so often, like 3 times a day and please create a higher variation of maptypes. A pacific map should not be followed by 3 more pacific maps but should rather be interrupted by a non-pacific map.

So much of my well-meant advice. I would frequent here more if it weren't for the aforementioned server announcements.

Regards to everyone~
