Percy, calm down, take a deep breath. I know things may be "slightly overwhelming" right now, you're still young, still trying to "find yourself". But there's no reason to hate people who did nothing to you. It may be a difficult concept for you, but trust me, you'll understand when you're older :)

Why cant we all get high and all of us get together

Dear Reuben,
I would like to start off this message by apologizing if I've offended you in any way, shape, or form. I honestly meant no "racial intolerance" towards you or your belief system (Buddhism). I would also like you to note that I was aware of the symbol's non-racist usage by others before the Nazi Party usurped it.

The point I was trying to make at the time was summed up perfectly earlier in this thread by Alexus:

"Dude, You know that the swastika has lost its meaning of good luck and is now a hate symbol, you didn't make it to show good luck, you made it because you knew they would get mad, move on and make upside down crosses."

The thing is, the first amendment to the American Constitution is a wonderful thing and something that many countries in the world don't have. And yes, you do have the "right" to make whatever shape you damn well please. However, as Alexus basically said: why couldn't have picked a different symbol? Why not make an eight-spoked wheel or Buddha's footprints?

In conclusion, I would like to apologize again for offending you and admit that I could've handled that situation in Pinpoint in a much more mature manner.

Thank you.
P.S. I would suggest you view this PowerPoint by the United States military. I think you'll understand the relevance if/when you skim through it: http://www.pdf-txt.com/ppt/the-tattooed-soldier.html

I don't care if its nazi sign or a peace , I just like the way it looks and I draw it very detailed and with other decorations to it in my notebooks.

@Rueben's original rant: I understand that the swastika is a religious symbol, but it's also gained a nasty reputation from the Nazis. It's not the symbol's fault, or your fault, but that's the way it's come to be recieved by most people. I'd back up Coelacanth on this one: Why not make another religious symbol if it's such a big deal?

@Coelacanth: Thank you for posting, and I accept your apology.

And yes, there are some better symbols I could have used. But still, I mentioned several times to the griefers that it was a Buddhist symbol, and I was mainly upset with the lack of listening or caring.

I made a Swastika on the Goon Haven server and immediately people starting griefing it, such as hava, LuisTheGame, and others. I teamkilled them and tried to explain that it was a symbol of respect, but they said I was a f**king liar and griefed it to pieces.

Even if I meant it to be a Nazi symbol, why not let it be? The Nazis were a powerful army that almost succeeded to take over the world, and should be remembered as intelligent and strong.

Read my latest post on Racial Intolerance on Sham's. I now have a grudge against Hompy.

there was a topic with this same issue
swastikas belong to nazi
a.k.a jew extinctors
half of pinpoint population is jew
they feel insulted
theydont like it
they dont care if its an buddhist symbol itr nazi

@tunaspirit: Well, then it's their problem for refusing to listen. And no, the swastika was STOLEN by Nazis. They didn't make it, nor do they own it. If Hitler used the cross, would you be offended by a cross in the game?

This Hompy guy sounds like more of a Nazi than anybody who goes into servers and makes swastikas.

You know what would be a real good idea?

Not making swastikas.

First of all, if you want to express your Buddhism, do it elsewhere. You don't see me preaching in the chat window, or making giant signs saying yay or nay about one god or another.

Second, the swastika is very much a nazi symbol. You can't go around calling people fags, and then saying they acting like bundles of sticks. Words and images grow to mean different things.

I am sorry your religion was hurt (buddhism is not a race) but really, making swastikas in AoS is pointless, stupid, and something trolls do.

Even if you are totally serious about the buddhist symbol thing, people are gonna think you are being an ass, and they may just be justified.

@Axle: I forgot you own every Ace of Spades server. Sorry massah, I'll just go back to the fields.

Thats right. Get back to work.

I am not sure how the destruction of something with no practical use at all in the context of an FPS game is griefing, even if it was done by your own teammates. I wouldn't quality it as that.

It's also very hard to take all of this seriously when the people making the accusations of griefing are calling what is done to them "racial intolerance" and then using some thin excuse of being Buddhist. Either you believe you're being harassed as a white person for using symbols of your racial supremacy or you have a mediocre vocabulary and are unable to actually say what you mean. The accusation of racial intolerance only makes the excuse of religious belief even thinner.

And finally, Reuben, your avatar is a picture of a white man in black face. I mean… come on now. I cannot take you seriously at all.

But regardless of whatever it is you believe, you have no ground to stand on in accusing others of griefing in this matter. If you want to draw pretty pictures to glorify your beliefs, whether racist or Buddhist, then go to deviantart or something.

It simply isn't appropriate at all in a public server. It is not a marketplace of ideas. It's a first person shooter game.

I can change my avatar, I really don't care. And I am Buddhist, and unless you have any proof to the contrary, not believing me is just ridiculous.
