What's up with anti-american parties?

Post by chickenfeather »

I've been playing on Venus lately. I noticed that if I join a party that is predominantly turkish or hispanic and they find out I'm an american, they will kick me from party. I will be talking with them normally if they do speak english up until the point I mention where I am from.

Has anyone ever had this happen to you and why do you think this happens? It totally sucks because there are only so few useful english-speaking players willing to party :(

I have not had anybody kick me from a party because I'm "NORTH" american. I have had people bash "NORTH" america for whatever but it doesn't bother me. Disrespectful but thats about it.

Edited because Dyegov doesn't want to be assoicated with North America below.

America has its wang in a lot of places it don’t need to be right now. The world doesn’t like us because of it. Yes, america is a very cocksure nation, but if it wasn’t for our resolve a lot of things would be totally different in this world. No one sees that. So just be an american, and don’t were about what some 12 year old turkish/spaniard thinks of you. Just be as respectful as you can to people of other nations so that even if they don’t like where youre from, they cant say YOU were a dick.


Also, you MUST keep in mind that a party runs smoother if everyone speaks on language, so it may just be that not everyone speaks english in the party, and they don’t want to cause issues.

when i went to egypt there was currently a news debate about some US plans for armed forces in turkey... i dno if that has anything to do with it but meh...

to be fair america isnt exactly portrayed as a neutral country in most places..(i dont hate america btw -.-)

however i hate turkey.
ive heard enough of them to decide i hate them xD
ive met maybe 3 or 4 nice people and the rest are the type of people who kick americans from the party -.- i wont kick a turk from the party but if they start spamming shit or start spamming turk in the party chat then its a ban.

if they want to ruin my game they will do it out of my view.

(sorry if i offend any turks that i do infact like on this forumz)

Well, viewing it from the point of view of someone who is not NORTH American, I can guess it has a lot to do with what us (non-NORTH Americans) have to cope with in this game. Maybe it's not you, but loads and loads of NORTH Americans are really racist against anything and anyone that is not NORTH American.

P.S.: America is not a country, it's a continent divided into NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH America ;)

I think "loads and loads" is a bit much. I can't put a number on it but come on, us "NORTH" americans are not much different then any other country in the world. No matter what country you go to, their are going to be people that are racist.

All good with me i used to ban middle east peeps from the party all the time. Partly because they start randomly going afk and stand there thinking they getting plvled or something or there bot is stuck in town or they'll start talking turkish in the party as if everyone else really understands.

I do find Egypt people to have a little more respect and will actually respond in english. Feel bad for them being surrounded by baboons. Good i dont have to deal with that anymore because when you do start banning then they'll just pm you in turkish and the hole fak everything routine.

Well, of course we won't have the same perception of what "loads and loads" is since you're NORTH American and I'm not :P

none of those conflicts were started by the USA, we were brought into them and just ended it.

The USA has a bad habit of TRY to be the good guy and help people, Half the time we should just let other countries get overran and burn for comments like that.

and I am speaking from knowledge, spent 18 months in Iraq putting up with their shit

to attempt to stop this AMERICA ARE SHIT OR GREAT debate.

america have done some really daft things.
but also really great things.
like almost every country in the world.
just cuz america is one of the top powers of the world does every1 see its effects.

theres no justification that what america did was the right thing because you dont really have a choice in what happens outside america. every1 is just trying to get along :)

Yes, and so are citizes of every other single country of this continent, but nearly 95% of all North Americans I have talked to think it's a joke and only they're Americans.

I disagree with you 100%. You are South American, I am North American, We are both AMERICANS. 99.99999999% of all NORTH Americans would agree with me.

As long as they know what they're doing, why should one kick them? (Strictly speaking of 8/8 pts) If they don't know what they're doing, or just sits there getting plvled, then I see no reason as to not kick them.

If the U.S. sits on their hands, the the world blasts the U.S. for their complacency yet when we try to help, they tell us to mind our own business. There's no pleasing everybody. But I am grateful to be an American and live in a country where we still have our freedoms (at least most of them), one of the best education systems, and an overall better quality of life than most of the world population. There's a reason why people from other countries move here. :D

Since when has the U.S.A. ever done anything for anyone? Last I checked, the only time Americans do something for some one else is if they benefit from it.

Btw, yes I live in America. Also, if half of you people wouldn't bitch about turks and other races inside the game, you wouldnt get booted. I know many turks and many other races inside sro and have never had a problem with them. The only people that I've had a problem with were other Americans.

Well that's your experience being a North American. It's not the same on this other side of the coin.

Then you're all good with your nationality. What I talk about is North Americans thinking America is a country and not a continent. Of course I'm pro people using their nationalities better :)
