Ubuntu the Great Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Day 2. We are now fighting 1 Poopskater 4 Mushqaeda 1 Los Pollos Hermanos We also now have the magnificent Zulu Navy and the world will soon see Zulu nukes exploding on Mushqaeda heads. I think I surprisen you all! I am a most surprising individual. Yes indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman1776 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was wondering when I would see another Zulu DoW. These are always good :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taget Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Initially I thought MQ would crush TDO but with Zulu's entry all that has changed. With their entry the war has clearly shifted and it may be time for MQ to throw in the towel and admit defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmansfield68 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I don't even know what to say at your declaration. Just racism I suppose. rac·ism noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\ : poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race : the belief that some races of people are better than others ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to point out one single instance of the above definition in the OP. I think it helps to understand the meaning of the word racism before wrongfully accusing someone of it. A favorite liberal tactic. If you don't like it/them, scream racism...

Go look up minstrel show, bro. [edit to add] You are seriously mistaken if you think I even know enough about current CN politics to like or not like these people. I am so far beyond retired.

TGCid Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 No other comments about this minstrel show? Disappointing. I'm glad somebody came out and said it. The Zulu gimmick is pretty obnoxious, but a lot of people lap it up since it's levied against the (now former?) MK bloc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altheus Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 No other comments about this minstrel show? Disappointing. You're right of course, but I think many prefer to just ignore the obvious shortcomings of the Zulu alliances humour and hope it goes away. Personally it comes across as patronising, ill-judged and offensive, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Flynt Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Wait, where's all of the moral outrage toward the Mushqaeda gimmick? People still think the muslim extremist joke is funny, even after that godawful puppet comedian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshington Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 No other comments about this minstrel show? Disappointing. Personally it comes across as patronising, ill-judged and offensive, Well, that is one way to take it, It IS an IC forum. Brings up a couple other questions: 1. If Ubuntu was called Clive and typed in an overdone Cockney accent, would you still feel uncomfortable? 2. Were you affronted by Rotovele's "Bammer" personna, replete with over-patriotism and ignorance? 3. Do you feel that Kashmir promotes drug use? edit: Retracted. Of course they do. 4. You seem pretty certain that Ubuntu is, in fact, white. If you found out otherwise, would you feel differently? Not saying your views are without merit, just maybe that your umbrage is a little selective and based on assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu is a great part of this community, they add a flavor unique to the game. Yes, I even enjoy Mushqaeda and their antics even though I rarely agree with them. Ill admit it, I'm going to miss MK, they made the game interesting...still are Lol. We can all be upset and offended with each other, bicker, make straw man arguments and tease, but in the end its all a game and its supposed to be fun, and everyone us entitled to play the way they wish, even TDO and MQ. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least MQ isn't using intentionally poor grammar to pretend that they're Hi-LAR-iously uneducated. Har Har negative stereotypes. Well, that is one way to take it, It IS an IC forum.

If you can't discern the difference between a minstrel show and someone using a foreign accent, God (Or Allarchon I guess) Help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubuntu the Great Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Oh my goodness. All this racism talk. If you only knew.....I'd love to turn you on. As for a minstrel show you will not find this in Zulu land. When Zulu women have their minstrel period this is all private. They make no show of it.

Again, I'm not claiming they're in the right at all. This thread is not about MQ. It's about the OP playing on an uneducated savage stereotype.

It's about the OP playing on an uneducated savage stereotype. Well, you see, the powers-that-be determine that if an alliance wishes to make an announcement, or a ruler wishes to correspond with others through this medium, it must be done in English. If it were that everyone was required to speak Zulu, you wouldn't be so proficient at getting your message out, either!

Luckao Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 It's about the OP playing on an uneducated savage stereotype. What is it about the declaration that you perceive to be a play on an "uneducated savage stereotype"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOC: its a persona, some of us actually put the effort into creating one for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
