I kind of hope a small army of people join and make posts that are nothing more than "AMERICAAAA...FUCK YEAH!"

Just to watch the staff rage.

Someone should do it. Seriously.
They deserve it, especially after the "have they stopped being mobile" comment.

hospitalwall November 20 2010, 04:05:29 UTC

The mobile comment thing was from a roleplayer in a roleplay I already joined, staffed by a close friend of mine in Sweden.

The first roleplay I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

That would be amazingly epic though. xD;; They would deserve it.

IN AMERICA

Thread 7

Umm, did they specifically say it was the timezone thing? Because with the "sentient" comment and the Canadian presence, it sounds more like they don't like Americans.

hospitalwall November 20 2010, 04:41:24 UTC

Yeah. The sentient comment was from another jerk in another RP.

The roleplay advertisement specifically said 'No Americans, because we already have enough people in those timezones and we'd like more varied ones'.

Someone fails logic. Frankly, I RP more in the morning than at night. Gotta pass the time at work. Seems to me asking "what times (GMT) would you be available to play?" would solve that issue, instead of sounding like a jerk.

Wow, just wow.

I didn't think that I'd see this kind of discrimination in rp, but.. WOW.

I am speechless. That is just wrong on so many levels...

fruityla November 20 2010, 05:37:17 UTC

It'll be their major loss when they have no one join because no one can.

That and discriminating because of time zone is stupid anyway.

manekings November 20 2010, 06:12:18 UTC

...Now that IS new. Normally one would think it would be the other way around, but guess that discrimination of that kind can happen to any side.

Apparently it does. A friend of mine saw this, and she's GMT+1. She said that she was asked to withdraw her application in a roleplay because of it, since they were mainly GMT -5.
My own timezone is now an embarrassment as well.
