Name Change is in Order

lol this thread got way out there, fast.

Lazortag, thanks for making the first coherent argument in many pages.

First of all, if there was a guild called "The Great Calamity," and Armenian players, who descended from victims of said genocide, told me that they found the name offensive, I would change the guild name if I was a GM of the server. They can choose from a million names. They don't need to have one that has the potential to offend a large demographic of players.

The word "holocaust" isn't offensive in every single context but it is offensive in this onet Its the fact that a PK guild is named "holocaust" that makes it problematic. The obvious association, which I'm sure they had in mind when they chose the guild name, is that they are committing a "holocaust" and the players they kill are the victims of said "holocaust."

you just attributed the guild name to the neutral definition of the word, not the holocaust attributed to nazi germany

shut the fuck up idiot

i encourage you to review the numerous posts that clearly demonstrate a collective association of "holocaust" with the "holocaust"

do yourself a favor and look up "ad hominem" while you're at it. people need to learn to read.

I heard that they only kill people that don't have blue eyes/blonde hair. Can someone confirm/deny for me?

[Aruden]

Will a real GM, not Uthgaard, please address the issue. If your answer is that you will condone this kind of behavior, please make that clear.

nilbog already did on the first page retard

if you don't like the unanimous decision that you are a whiny bitch, door's that way -------------->

go make your own shitty server with hyper-PC guild names and NPCs

He must not have accepted your "challenge" as viable.

I've got an idea... how about you go eat a bagel (which are delicious btw, thanks jews!) and shut the fuck up.
