Alfred von Tirpitz Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Two alliances i like, caught in the middle of this deadly storm in my teacup.

Jrenster Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I kind of feel bad for Fark. They're not defending themselves here, either because they have bad posters or radio silence, and the only people outside their alliance willing to do it is some dude who's picking a fight with Valhalla.

erikz Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 May I just take a moment here to commend FARK and to a lesser extend GOD for taking OOC issues in-game? Great job guys! Great job. If you hate NoR so much, do something about it, why on earth would you need an OOC excuse to attack them? Just attack them or leave this alone. Pathetic.

IYIyTh Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) OOC: I'm more disturbed than amused by the fact that a hobby or love of a book series is equated to equally as humiliating as being associated with a certain group generally considered Fond L'etang. "Oh yeah, well you like...Harry Potter!" Aside from that yes, both were funny, and yes, both were bad in taste. At any rate, I know a few Reicher's and I'm sure 94.56% of Nordreich are good folk (Except Bassman, you left us ,) and I know that this is isolated. Certainly it appears more can be done and it should not exactly be such a surprise when something like this happens but I can see why such a discovery would make its way into this game, and am not surprised the reaction it's been given. Hell, the IC/OOC line here is blurred as hell. People are IC who they are OOC anyway. /OOC Clearly, none of you have taken your recommended Viking/Farkistani beer intake today. Look at the lot of you? Still enough sense to type. Tisk, tisk. Edit: I suck. Edited June 24, 2011 by IYIyTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikz Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 [quote name='Krack' timestamp='1308889807' post='2740076'] Oh okay ... I'll answer for them now that I understand your question. Nazis (as well as child molesters, terrorists, violent felons and others who advocate genocide) are not welcome in Fark. On the other hand, being a heterosexual is not a Farkistan membership requirement; I assumed that was obvious, but I'm happy to clear things up for you. [/quote] And how do you actually know someone to be one IRL? That's bloody OOC. People roleplay a lot in this game. I for one RP my character here. You'll find me to be quite different irl.

Il Impero Romano Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't think I've ever seen two groups across the aisle from each other try so damn hard in one thread. Both sides are being so absolutely transparent that it's really kind of ridiculous. Sad part is that it's getting worse, not better. Fark and co., you took an event which could have taken the wind out of the sails of a group that's adverse to you and used a sledge hammer on it. Really, might as well just had written your exact motivations in the OP in gigantic bold red letters. A little subtle steering and your aims with this probably would have been accomplished all on its own. NoR and co., every single one of your posts reads either like it has a tone of nervous laughter or is conspicuously over defensive. Nothing here is "a laughing stock" or the like, and the "omg you're bringing X into Y see look everyone" is probably the most incriminating one you can make. That much should be a given, and pointing it out over and over again only serves to make you sound like Officer Barbrady, leading to the exact opposite conclusion that you want. I mean really, come on. And you wonder why people think this kind of thing is bad for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialCubanacan Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I stressed my points over 24 hours ago now. Not sure what the fuss is here. Real diplomacy takes place in IRC -- not the OWF. The last -- what about 10 pages here, are of no consequence. The important things were said the day before. Everything else here seems to be about some silly 1v1 argument between a micro and an ally of ours. Not much more to say here, quite honestly. Now, how about that NPO/TIO MDoAP? *goes to other thread* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Flinders Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I find it utterly disappointing that we're doing this same song and dance again. And even more disappointing that FARK appears to be the ultimate moralists in this world. I would have never guessed that one. Taking up the mantle of Slayer is not something I would have expected from you folk. Again, I am severely disappointed as I though better of you all. Your "evidence" for wanting to distance yourself from NoR is laughable. But please, by all means, distance yourself. If you are really closed minded enough to begrudge an alliance's attempt to help a new widow and her children, then you are not the kind of people we would want to associate ourselves with anyway. Our allies know who we are and what we stand for, and for that I will be ever grateful. We understand fully the burden and commitment we must carry in regards to policing our borders, and we do so without question and without complaint. You know nothing of the work and effort that goes into maintaining our respected name. Grow up and cut it with the moral outrage because your outrage is not only misdirected, but it makes you look utterly pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&R-Viking Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 There's no need for all the hostility in this thread.

mattski133 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think NoR did a lot of work to change their image over the last few years. That doesn't change the fact that something happened to rekindle all this controversy, that is hardly deniable at this point. To the point that you can find these issues in [i]any[/i] alliance, I agree and I disagree. You will find rascists everywhere in every culture, but it is the [i]extremist[/i] that is most detested, most rare, and most inflammatory. While NoR is not modelled on National Socialism with ethnic cleansing in mind, it's the closest thing to it around here and no one should be surprised that they might attract, even unknowingly, those types of people, and if some screenshots are to be trusted, apparently others. It still doesn't make NoR that kind of alliance any more than having a few racists in GOONS makes GOONS a rascist alliance. However, it's important to recognize that while some people like the alliances in Mjolnir who are comfortable with their ally enough to stand by them and aggressively defend them in public, other alliances like FARK might be the polar opposite. I personally think both responses, those from FARK and those from Mjolnir, were in order, considering that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
