Last i recall most people dont consider it griefing if the structer in question has no strategic value.

"@Axle: Never said it did. All I'm trying to say is that griefing is wrong, there's no gray area. Griefing swastikas is just as bad as griefing structures."

of course there is. If somebody makes a giant penis blocking my line of sight from covering the intel, ima take dat biotch down. No one will mind.

If somebody greifs our intell tower, mofo gets kicked.

edit: what he said ^

fett, you're a dumb shit. you do this in every thread you don't like. you base your reply off of your feelings rather than the content, the OP makes a valid point. So, instead of coming up with a educated, mature response, you spout insults and defamatory remarks

and don't you say "What?" faggot you know what the hell i said

OK, enough's enough. Devas just got me votekicked for building CROSSES.

Not swastikas, not pentacles, nothing like that. Simple crosses. Don't get me wrong, people have killed with the cross as their symbol, and the totals are probably greater than 12 million (or so). However, in modern society it's accepted as the symbol of Christianity, a religion that claims that God is love, that man should "Love his neighbor as himself," and that Jesus has love for all mankind. It also happens to be my religion. I was building them simply because I support what Christianity stands for.

Nor can one argue that they were getting in the way. I dug one-block-deep cross-shaped trenches and filled them in with bright colors, so the landscape was totally unaltered bar color when I was done. They weren't getting in anyone's way. Yes, technically that makes me a "pointless builder," but I certainly wasn't interfering with legitimate gameplay. I was just minding my own business and staying out of everyone's way.

Yet I got kicked. Devas, I'd say I hoped you got struck by lightning if I hadn't decided it would be sacreligious of me. You, and all the others who openly participated need to grow up, grow a pair, and stop acting like a couple of "xXxI'm so proxorz I can haz vk peepolsxXx111!!!11!1!!1!!!" skiddies.

This game needs more double swastikas like that one http://i.imgur.com/vvP50.png
too bad is that no one will build it, because this one is just nice and not offending anybody.

@Little.Kitten: That actually looks kinda pretty, like a flower or an ornamental knot pattern.

@1337101 yay thanks :3 the best part is that when you know how to build it, it takes only few minutes to get it done, but like i said - no one will be building it.

@1337101: I see crosses as a sign of the crusades. Don't like it? Too bad. See a swas, just leave it alone. Simple as that.

Its a normal Buddhist swastika.
No. Get the hell real and quit giving that excuse. You aren't a Buddhist. Buddhists don't make a habit of drawing those symbols everywhere to draw attention to themselves.

@Kaede: It is, and I dare you to prove otherwise.

Face it kaede your racist.

You aren't making them for the purpose of it being Buddhist. There is no way I can prove that you aren't, but obvious motives point toward racism.

Just like you can't prove there aren't invisible pink unicorns. You're using this conversation to troll with. This is a troll thread. I dare you to prove me wrong.

This is your logic.

@ jazz

Really? You can quit crying too.

The internet on religion : All of the above

So? People build flags too, but you don't know what they're doing. Maybe they're thinking that people from their country are the Master Race. Or they just want to build a flag because they are of that race. You don't know that. Same with swastikas. People might build them to symbolize their religion (Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.), their Nationality (Finnish, Tajikistani, etc.) or because they are National Socialists.

You don't know that. Stop pretending to know their motivation behind it.
Baka.

Oh, and Buddhists, Jainists and Hindus do pretty much place that image everywhere. Go to India.

You dawg, I heard you like swastikas so I made a swastika in your thread about swastikas so you can look at swastikas while you read about swastikas.

Of course, its only there because I want to promote Buddhism. (which is totally related to what we are doing and not in any way a waste of time)

@Kaede: I saw that pic on reddit this morning. Lol.

@Thunderstorm: Thank you.

@Axle: Someone seems mad about something they're not involved in at all.

Don't mind him for using the Nazi orientation, Reuben...

Actually, no, mind him a LOT for being a disrespectful little troll.

I'm not being disrespectful, I am merely supporting multiculturalism by pointing out that many people have used this symbol. It is more used than any other symbol I can think of.

(My sarcasm engines are firing full force, but your receptor appears to be miss aligned)

Edit: That isn't trolling. Trolling is using harsh or irrelevant ideas or pictures to get an angry reaction.
I was using sarcasm to prove my point. and it worked. You were angry that I posted a swastika, even though I clearly stated it was a Buddhist symbol.

Hence, making swastikas in AoS is bad because it pisses people off. Don't do it.

Also, a "Nazi orientation?" Turn your head 45 degrees either way. Now it is not.

@Axle: No, you're using the rotated Nazi one. I used the correctly-aligned Buddhist symbol.

No because it was obvious you were using sarcasm which effectively nulls out your claim of it being a Buddhist symbol. And its rotated. Which clearly draws Nazi traces. (see above).

Awesome thread. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight your threads can get. Thanks for the motivation.

^ totally not the exact same thing you put in the @Devas thread

Ok. This isn't the point of the discussion. I'm sorry I got off topic.

All I'm trying to say is that AoS is not the place to be making swastikas.

It doesn't matter if your intention is not to offend. Its the internet. We can't tell what your intention is. We will assume you are being an internet asshole.

I am deeply sorry that Hitler had to screw up perfectly good symbol. But he did, and now it is tainted. So please, for everyones sake. Don't make swastikas.

Again, sorry my previous responses seemed kinda jerky.

@Axle: I stated my intentions several times.

It doesn't matter. First of all, I wouldn't believe you.

Also, if you aren't in a build only server, you're in the wrong anyway.

Make a custom giant Swazi map, then youll be in the clear

@Axle: "First of all, I wouldn't believe you."
And this discussion just ended.
