You seem to have thoroughly misunderstood the whole "self-identifies with" reference.4myGod wrote:I'm a professional retard, so I take offense when using the term Retard as a negative term.Timminz wrote:The difference is that no one self-identifies, as dipshits, fools, morons, retards, spastics, or thickos.Artimis wrote:By that reasoning we can include; Dipshits, Fools, Idiots, Morons, Retards, Spastics and Thickos.

No, but in all seriousness... So, "fudge packer" and "butt-pirate" are acceptable terms to use instead of "gay"... because no one self-identifies themselves as those terms.
Perhaps also "fag"... because that is a negative term to gays, they probably wouldn't refer to themselves as that.
Obviously... From what I understand, "dipshits, fools, idiots, morons, retards, spastics" are all not bigoted against the mentally handicap because they do not self-identify themselves using these terms, correct?Woodruff wrote:You seem to have thoroughly misunderstood the whole "self-identifies with" reference.4myGod wrote:I'm a professional retard, so I take offense when using the term Retard as a negative term.Timminz wrote:The difference is that no one self-identifies, as dipshits, fools, morons, retards, spastics, or thickos.Artimis wrote:By that reasoning we can include; Dipshits, Fools, Idiots, Morons, Retards, Spastics and Thickos.

And while dysonsphere was very colorful in his chatter, as per the guidelines I think he might have skirted the insensitive nature to a class/type of people and more then likely will get told not to do this again in a form of a WARNING. Seeing as it can obviously be viewed as bigoted or not by soo many of you in here should suffice in the justification to receive/give a WARNING not to repeat this performance.king sam wrote:Game 5071893
The true crime is and case can be made for sweetypie526 deliberately throwing a game.

The rules state that a person can't throw a game and another person can't intentionally benefit from a thrown game...TheBro wrote:Stop being so gay..
What I want to know is why are people saying red should get a warning? Benefiting from a thrown game is the biggest bag of donkey shit I have ever heard. I play every game to win, and I'm assuming red does too, what the hell is he supposed to do, try to lose?!
The rule re: "benefitting from a thrown game" is in regards to people that points dump, not from a scenario like this. Red is the only party in this game that can claim to be innocent of any breach of the rules.4myGod wrote:The rules state that a person can't throw a game and another person can't intentionally benefit from a thrown game...TheBro wrote:Stop being so gay..

He should have responded with "I am sorry blue, but throwing a game is against the rules, and if I accept your offer I too would be breaking the rules."
I think then that the rule should be reworded to make it sound more like point dumping. As it is now, benefitting from a thrown game would be anyone who gets a win (points), deliberately, from someone else throwing a game.e_i_pi wrote:The rule re: "benefitting from a thrown game" is in regards to people that points dump, not from a scenario like this.

Common sense has to come in play at some point. And I think its pretty clear that he4myGod wrote: I think then that the rule should be reworded to make it sound more like point dumping.

This would mean someone who makes a deal in game to win and allow the other person to throw a game, they would have breached the rules.
I don't know exactly what point dumping is, but the way it's worded now isn't sufficient, if they don't really mean what they said.
I don't think red should have accepted the thrown game. Yeah, I understand, "why do you turn down a free win?" Well, I just think red should have told blue to play out the game, rather than endorse the idea to throw the game by accepting that deal.

Good. But what about sweetypie? His offense is at least as bad.lancehoch wrote:dysonsphere has been Warned for his homophobic language.
You are quite right, he should also get warned and I have asked the same question.Woodruff wrote:Good. But what about sweetypie? His offense is at least as bad.lancehoch wrote:dysonsphere has been Warned for his homophobic language.
His words are irrelevant. I can ask every opponent I play to throw the game, if they do I can only assume I wouldn't be guilty of anything other than trying to win. The rule does need to be reworded, and blue needs to be warned for throwing the game.4myGod wrote:I think then that the rule should be reworded to make it sound more like point dumping.
