Hi.
I've been trying to get someone to help me out by sending a couple of PMs but nobody is responding.
Recently I created a group, which got closed for no reason specified. I think, I think, its because the name was similar to some kid who Ddosed argo?
I mean cmon, were not supporting him or doing something like that. Its just a name we chose. Like, if someone called James ddoses argo every James will be banned and forced to change his name now or what?
Its just a name which happens to be similar to that kid. We're trying to create a roleplay group and we even posted pics of roleplay. We're actually helping the server by teaching the new players roleplay which is our main oobjective. We also tried to bring some fun by doing clan wars with a stunt clan and bring some fun to other argo servers.
But guess what, the group got closed because the name happens to be similar to some kid!? Is that really the case? Can some admin please explain? Thank you!!
-
You already knew what was going to happen as soon as you thought of using that name so I don't see why you are trying to make a big deal out of it.
-
No I'm sorry I didn't quite get you... I already knew?
What's wrong with the name Mann!
We used Woka because it seems a cool four letter word. I don't understand whats going on.
-
I'm going to say what some are thinking but will hesitate to say: Don't play stupid or create more moan topics, James. We weren't born yesterday. You knew what will happen, so quit bullshitting.
As a Division Leader appointed by the Owners, Zaila was in his full rights to do what he did. You question his legitimate action, you question the Owners' judgment.
-
You'd have to be pretty stupid to use that name for a group and expect management to be ok with it..
-

If you fail to see the obvious reason why it was locked then I think you'll find the statement which you aimed at someone else earlier today rather hypocritical....
you have the common sense and intellect of a mentally handicapped person.

Is it because of Woka who ddosed argo?
I'm just creating this because my topic is locked and there's absolutely nothing mentioned about it. And zaila ain't answering pm.
I'm not saying ayo, open ma topic. I'm saying please at least explain what's going on.
If I can't use a 4 letter word because Gandalf doesn't like it, can Gandalf give me another cool 4 letter word which means friendship so I can use???
-

I don't know much about this woka fellow, but come on dude.
-
I guess they just liked this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBbpf7FPpM
I personally don't see anything wrong with the song, maybe the admins don't like the Africa part..
But ignorance aside.. dude..
-
Im greatly disappointed that because a kid DDOSED the server once, we aren't allowed to use that 4 letter word anywhere because leadership feels so insecure about it.
Just Idk man.
Anyhow, can Zaila replace it with a nice 4-6 letter word which means happiness and friendship in Somalian? If we can't use Woka?
I mean if you could just have asked and not just lock my topic without explanation I would've complied.
-

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! :lol:
-
Man admins can do what they feel right , its just that nobody tells me what's going on and locked ma topic and group.
Then nobody answers my pm.
Can I have my topic back so j can change the name or something then.?? I wanted to create a roleplay group man
-
You're free to create a group with a name that doesn't "worship" problematic cases or offend others.
If you can't understand why the "group" was not appropriate then perhaps it's time to question yourself as to why you are on the server.
If you want to create a roleplay group then do so via the correct means, not one attempting to make a joke of past problems.
-
I've seen many group leaders who are dense, but this one just took the cake.
Go into a muslim country and start a brotherhood named "Fuckislam Brotherhood" because the term "Fuckislam" means friendship to you for some reason. Pretty stupid idea and the locals are sure to despise you for it, right?
That's basically what you did here. Get some common sense, please.
DISCLAIMER: As later clarified (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103530.msg1645498#msg1645498), the analogy is not meant to offend Islam, but to point out how absurd the actions depicted therein would be.

Your post just took the other cake. :lol:

Is the name if my group FuckJDC Brotherhood? Is it called CUNTArgo Homies. Is it called BitchSugarD? No.
Woka is a Somalian name which we came up with because Ethan is Somalian in real life. And it means friendship.
Everything is not a joke OK, a manager posted here and I'm talking ithh him on PM. And you're just here to provoke people, increase your post count and idk what. Please stop.

Not exatcly, by that logic they're making a group called Fuck Argonath.. they aren't, they're just praising an idea, which is Woka, depending how you look at it, it's the same as if you went to America nad made the 9/11 group, why 9/11? because every member's birthday would be on 9/11, it isn't a bad thing if you forget about the horrible terroristic attack that thousands lost their lives in, it's just a number, just like Woka is just a word.. It's all about prespective
-
Just to broaden things up a bit.. I spoke to Ethan on skype James explaining why. I expected him to relay the message as well as some others.
-
Not exatcly, by that logic they're making a group called f**k Argonath.. they aren't, they're just praising an idea, which is Woka, depending how you look at it, it's the same as if you went to America nad made the 9/11 group, why 9/11? because every member's birthday would be on 9/11, it isn't a bad thing if you forget about the horrible terroristic attack that thousands lost their lives in, it's just a number, just like Woka is just a word..

Yes exactly, thank you.

As much as I doubt the capability of their brain cells, we all know full well that they are not dumb enough NOT to know at all that going into a community and putting up a group with a flag / symbol of something that attacked that community is totally NOT going to be offensive at all.
The topic deserved its lock, and under such obvious circumstances, Zaila should not be obligated to explain.

Can you just fucking not?, Where did Muslims come from in this topic? Can't you give another example?

Can you just f**king not?, Where did Muslims come from in this topic? Can't you give another example?
I didn't insult a religion in the last hour! Are you proud of me?
-
Hi JDC.
I'm currently talking to a manager and we will actually change the name and start a roleplay initiative.
Previously we were also simply posting on the forums, but I think actually doing something will give the community much more. :)
I don't think we need to go into a not needed argument since everything seems to be solved.
-

Couldn't he just give another example?. you guys are really starting to piss me off.
-
My post did not get approved unfortunately. I'll try to put it more nicely.
It would make sense if my groups name was f**kArgo or f**kJDC.
But not really no. Were not against a person or religion or the server.
The name happened to be a hated one and thus we're changing it.

As you seem to be offended by even the idea of Muslims being used as an arbitrary example, you should understand now how it feels for loyal Argonathians to see a group throwing around the banner of someone who tried their best (and failed) to take down this community.
Now how about someone going into a Jewish community and making a group called "Sons of Hitler" / "Hitler Lovers" because Hitler means friendship to them for some reason. Satisfied by another example now?
-
JDC it isn't OK to go and post examples which say f**kIslam.
Review your personal messages about why I haven't acted on that.
Additionally, topic has been moved to Speakerbox as its not game server specific.

Why was religion even mentioned at the first place?, I did not want you to go and make examples about religion as you are making me look like a racist. I wast offended only because you mentioned Muslims somewhere in their, i am offended now as well because you are just trying to offend other religions too. Just................................... ........... don't.
-
For clarification purposes, I do not have any hate towards Islam or Judaism. Yet despite being an irreligious person, I have friends from all the major religions and do not discriminate with affiliation as a basis.
The purpose of the analogy was to point out how absurd it is to go into a community and start a "brotherhood" using a name that is offensive for the members of that community because of reasons connected to it.
From the reactions, I guess the examples worked.
As for James, if you took offense from them, then you should have considered Argonathians before deciding to start a brotherhood named after Woka... do you understand now, or do you need more analogies?

Let's not even mention religions, the deed has been done, let's not go down the rabit hole that the prime minister dying topic is going.. never argue religion is one of my rules.
Let's not continue this, please..

In response to your post...
Which part of my previous post didn't you get?
Hi JDC.

I supplied you with an answer, there's nothing more to discuss.
The topic was locked as it was found to be unacceptable and inappropriate given the past. As I previously mentioned you're welcome to open up another roleplay group under certain grounds;
You're free to create a group with a name that doesn't "worship" problematic cases or offend others.
If you can't understand why the "group" was not appropriate then perhaps it's time to question yourself as to why you are on the server.
If you want to create a roleplay group then do so via the correct means, not one attempting to make a joke of past problems.
