So I told my team "pass coming" but I accidentally left off the P is pass. I was typing quickly, playing - all that. So the server censors out my *pass. Whatever.
This in turn spawned everyone into cuss mode, and people were cussing for the sake of cussing, showing that they can get around the language filter. Cool stuff, I'm the LAST person to get offended by anything.
Of course someone else started complaining, and everyone cut it out.
What got me is how can people get all uptight over language while playing such a violent game. It's OK to blow each other into smithereens - but heaven forbid you use a four letter word.
I know and completely understand that it's (whoever's) server, and their rule goes. I am not argueing that, but the fundamental reasoning behind likewise rules. It's a good thing no one can tap into my microphone and hear what I be saying out loud while playing - I'd be banned in thirty seconds, cause I yell and cuss at most everyone. I can understand the arguement that children might be playing - but if you're gonna protect them from such content, I don't think a battletank shoot em up like BZ Flag is the place you would want your kids gaming in the first place. Not that I'm an expert on such things, nor am I trying to tell anyone how to run their server, or how to raise their children.
I also recognize that BZ and respective servers are NOT chat rooms.
I reckon I just think and work differently than most folks. The REALLY funny thingis the next server down the list says stuff like "Darth Vader smoked some bad stuff sold to him by _______" and "Darth Vader smoked crack and died of a heart attack"
Go figure
Much love, and GAME ON!!!
