By that reasoning we can include; Dipshits, Fools, Idiots, Morons, Retards, Spastics and Thickos. All of which are generic negative terms for a group of individuals with low intellect. This could be considered bigoted against the mentally feeble under a strict interpretation of the new guidelines.
The difference is that no one self-identifies, as dipshits, fools, morons, retards, spastics, or thickos.

I'm a professional retard, so I take offense when using the term Retard as a negative term.
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.

You seem to have thoroughly misunderstood the whole "self-identifies with" reference.

The true crime is and case can be made for sweetypie526 deliberately throwing a game.

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 rules state that a person can't throw a game and another person can't intentionally benefit from a thrown game...

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."

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.

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.
