[GHETTOS ANYONE ?] : NO, THANK YOU !
Re: [GHETTOS ANYONE ?] : NO, THANK YOU !
+1 Uber, exactly my opinion too. I added a mantis entry(http://mantis.themanaworld.org/view.php?id=834) about a GM command to announce the English in Public rule in different languages, cos im sure there are many non-english speakers ingame. Unfourtunately the first sarcastic reply came soon;
as Turmfalke said, "If you decide to play a english game, knowing that you don't understand anything at all, it is your fault when you get banned."
So it's the fault of poor/non-educated player (some from poor countries too i guess) who should not to be allowed to play this open-source(free as in freedom) game and it seems to me there are many many players and devs/gms who agree with Falke.
Too bad that this way of thinking is common in most of the "richer societies" - its all about where racism starts...
Discussion please!

UberKalimero, i'm happy to see you can also make sensefull topics .
Blueberry :
Nobody's ever been banned for a non-english speech in public (according to the court house). Posts in the court house are about PLAYERS reporting non-english speakers. Intolerance is not coming from GMs or Devs (remember they aren't all from english-speaking countries) but from the people who are playing TMW. And sadly, there is nothing to do about it.
Gms are repeating again and again they won't ban someone for that reason. Here are some quotes :

And if you directly translate into English what you have been writing in another language, there is no problem, either.
Cooperative people who don't speak English at all won't get banned.
And I'd personally encourage good English-speakers to help others from their country who don't understand English!

A good example is the large house in Hurnscald, the upstairs of Cauls shack, there are numerous places in North Tulimshar as well.

I dont think its necessary to us to dedicate buildings or rooms for specific groups of people. We are a community of diversity, and there is no reason why the facilities we already have in place cannot be used.
I see no latent xenophobia here .Vink wrote:Now concerning your complaint:
When people are punished, the severity of their crime should always be taken into consideration. Speaking other languages is not considered to be nearly as serious as for example botting. That's why a warning is often considered to be enough.

The largest countries in the world are in the northern hemisphere. Together, they have a significant percentage of the worlds population.
Re: [GHETTOS ANYONE ?] : NO, THANK YOU !
A better way to say it is that most people doing development are in northern temperate and higher (farther from the equator) latitudes and are so in the season known as summer. Any objections to that?
