I tried to rally some other players to bust the accused's bonuses. He replied with the following disgusting language:
2008-10-11 21:40:24 - mbohn2: go f*ck your self red...this is a fog game for a reason you cock sucking faggot
While i understand the need to take a liberal stance in relation to language and game chat, i can not believe that this homophobic and hate filled speech would ever be acceptable.
I have had people tell each other in fog how many armies others have;
008-10-10 11:17:56 - Dark_Christ: red u better pull this back
2008-10-10 11:17:58 - Flailing-Axes: lol, as if we've been silent this whole time
2008-10-10 11:18:01 - Dark_Christ: 3 a turn dont beat 8
2008-10-10 11:18:21 - Flailing-Axes: Red has 12 on Wiltshire, he'll be fine
2008-10-10 11:18:37 - Flailing-Axes: Call it his insurance policy
2008-10-10 11:19:28 - Dark_Christ: Carl, If I see that you dont completely dominate him in reinforcement, I wont be forced to attack you
I was red and Dark just gave the game to Failing, It sucks but I guess people don't know the meaning of fog...and if they post something in chat(like they did with me and you), how do we know they ain't saying more shit in pm, this way you can't accuse them of secret alliance, but again theres no way to prove they don't talk more in pm....just another flaw in CC
I would like to point out that a spectator has posted the following in the same game chat:
2008-10-12 11:50:08 - t-o-m: Merrijk shut the f*ck up you cock sucking faggot, k?
I dont expect clean language, but this is just repulsive;
And Megadeath, this has nothing to do with the a perfectly understandable discussion on the purpose of fog of war.
Fuckin right it does......I am pointing out that ,I'd probably tell you to go f*ck yourself tooo, cause its fog, and you don't say shit, for example in your GAME:
08-10-10 21:23:23 - Merrijk: Id like topoint out that light blue has india china and russia
2008-10-10 21:24:13 - Merrijk: so, if we all dont want him to take control of this game, i suggest we try to break his bonuses
2008-10-10 21:24:54 - Merrijk: if we dont he will get 16+ next turn
So quit your whining and don't say shit in fog and you won't get chat abused, Fucker
Revealing armies in fog of war is bad sportsmanship imo and I'd leave someone a bad rating for it. That said, such obscene language is unnecessary. The people who engaged in it are repeat offenders. Just foe them and move on.
If you find yourself in a game with someone who offends you, simply add the member in question to your foes list and his/her comments will disappear.
To put someone in your foes list, simply click on the member's username to get into his profile, then click on Add Foe. You can even place a note when you add someone in your foes list to remind you why you placed that person in that particular list.
Also, when you are playing in a fog of war game, it is highly suggested that you keep any information to yourself. That is part of the gamble when you play in this type of game.
It's also a great reason why many people (including myself) are growing painfully weary of the site.
I understand the liberality regarding language, but when people are abusive just to be abusive
and nothing is done about it, you're going to lose your user base.
It would be different if it were just an occasional problem. Sadly, it seems to happen
in about every third game I play here.
Eventually, you'll have a bunch of jerks and nobody else left here.
Apparently, you're all ok with that, but it seems like a very shortsighted attitude, from
a fiscal standpoint.
(Very short for the site myself, and I'm a paying customer who used to absolutely
love this place.)
I'm torn about the fog of war question. Think about it. Forces on a real battlefield could choose to share information they had about a common enemy. Of course, that information may or may not be correct.
