Below is the game chat which can be found inside the Game 5747621

2009-10-15 01:29:33 - Mystique: How fun, another game against poor free players who are too cheap to pay for membership. Is there a way us non-poor members can avoid these losers?
2009-10-15 01:31:36 - Mystique: Good luck by the way...
2009-10-17 02:13:50 - Arish Babil: we can send them money, i just got my yearly allowance again last week
2009-10-17 02:14:02 - Arish Babil: do you need money?
2009-10-18 01:43:06 - Mystique: I doubt they know how to read, they all live in Canada. No wonder they are too poor to play this game like regular people. You losers make me sick.
2009-10-18 01:44:53 - Mystique: Can I refuse to let cheap poor-players enter my games? Is there a button I can select? It's annoying to have to deal with these welfare-abusers. Get a job and stop mooching off other people you fucking Canadians.
2009-10-18 19:11:26 - Mystique: I probably should only type sober from now on.

Was there actual pm's sent, or just what was said in game chat?

Everything is said in the game chat. I read the rules of the conquerclub website, and the rule said:

Don't be intentionally annoying!

Common sense prevails - if you are intentionally or continually making this community less enjoyable for others, you're going to be removed from it. It's that simple. This applies to any part of the site where interaction takes place; in Forums, Private Messages, Live Chat and Game Chat.

Canadian isn't a race. Case dismissed.

Arish Babil isn't saying anything remotely bad; he's just fooling around.

Judging from the overall tone of the game chat, it seems like they're joking around.

by **chephren** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 5:50 am

Anything that gets this excuse for a human being called Mystique off the site for good is OK with me... :lol:

It complains about playing freemiums, then foes anyone who beats it.

Can't have it both ways.

by **AAFitz** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 8:33 am

Well, I have to admit that I think they were trying to be more funny, than actually demeaning.

It is perhaps technically bigotry, because it is an insult based on region of area lived, and a perceived income associated with it...but it really is a stretch to call it racial abuse, since its simply impossible to discern the race of someone simply because of where they live.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a warning though, because whether or not they parked in a bigotry spot is difficult to know for sure, but they are driving through the lot looking for a space.

by **Snowgun** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:06 am

CC is going to have to have a course to explain what bigitry and racism actually means.

There have been way to many complaints about someone cracking a joke about some country or another. It's a very slippery slope to big brotherhood if all of a sudden everything someone doesn't like is relegated to a hate crime.

by **lord voldemort** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:18 am

Indeed it is a very touchy issue about bigotry and racism about someones country. Expect a precedent to be set one way or the other

by **isaiah40** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 9:28 am

Just looked at Mystique's wall (I know it's supposed to be private, but it isn't when anyone can look at it) and it seems he does have something against Canadians. I for one grew up in Canada and I take offense to what he said. It's like me saying that all African Americans are lazy no good welfare sucking bums. I am stereotyping them. (I would never say anything derogatory about any race, nationality or anything else as we are all human beings no matter were we come from). Isn't he also flaming in game chat?

I don't hear any tones from team two... How can "they" joke around, when the other guys ain't saying anything?! I don't think they finds it funny at all, and this "joke" should be punished..

This is exactly my point. Equating a population of people who live in a geographical region under a set of rules to a genetic race is a complete fallacy, and idiocy like this is causing trouble here. Defaming a RACE is considered a bad thing in society because you can't help your genetic make up, and it envokes views of an inferior species.

Defaming a group of people who live in a certain place and under a certain set of rules is still an opinion because those people DECIDE to live there and do that. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM RACISM because you can't escape your race.

So unless it gets decided that giving people shit about anything, such as their love for unicorns or the fact they call underwear bloomers, is now taboo on CC, stop envoking racism and running to mommy moderator.

by **Darwins_Bane** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:39 am

How is it racial exactly? It could be your both of the same race? and no mention of race is ever brought in. this is a case of blatant nationalism. :lol:

grow a tougher skin?

by **evilweasel8** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:51 am

why grow tougher skin for a unprovoked attack on ones personal situation no matter the circumstances, this Mystique is clearly shallow.....dozens of members have announced on how this 1 person is making this site very hostile and we dont need that for new members to see or go thru....ban mystique and be done with it, the proof is in the pudding and i myself do believe that person is intentionally making this site a unpleasent experiance :!:

Whether Canadian is a race or not is completely irrevelant, the point is -> for no reasons he is being abusive to others in the game. He also swears too.

by **laughingcavalier** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:26 pm

This is racist. Even if it weren't racist it's offensive. They should not talk this way to strangers. Act please, mods

by **Risky_Stud** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:34 pm

After looking up the definition of racial profiling this topic does fall under
that category. How the mods want to deal with that should be up to them.
That can be a fine line depending upon who you are.
What's more important here is the fact that what was said is flaming.
No matter how you put it mystque was trying to bait a response and that
should definitely be punishable.

by **owenshooter** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:37 pm

canadian is a race now? why don't you just foe them and move on... there is nothing "racist" about the game chat.. there isn't even anything abusive about the game chat. if that chat makes you "uncomfortable", i suggest you just stop reading chat, period... wow... frivilous!-0

p.s.-abusive? ever hear of codeblue? if CC allows him to continue his ways, there is no way this is going to be considered an offense...

Canada is not a race but is an ethnicity, and attacking someones ethnicity
is considered racial profiling.

this is still far from "racial abuse"... these guys are going to be told to foe and move on... there were more jokes in the chat about being freemiums than canadians...-0

Yeah but the more important thing here is the flaming and that should be punishable.

flaming in game chat is not against the rules. ever hear of codeblue? this chat is actually very docile for what is reported within this forum. this is far from against the rules. "SIUC" or "foe and move on" is what the OP is going to be told... nothing abusive within the chat...-0

riiiiiiight... a precident... i can't wait... maybe you should wait to declare a precident's being set for a case that is an actual infraction of the rules... wow... a precident? :roll:

what about the ruling this past week on the guy that declared racism because people were making sheep shagging jokes about his scotish heritage? what happened there? another precident?!! :roll:

...-0

by **jefjef** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 1:47 pm

This is NOT racism or bigotry. Is CC actually thinking about disciplining in re of this?

Flaming? Hahahaha. Talk about creative interpretation. I spose this can also be classified as "unsanctioned gaming"

Get real.......

by **BoganGod** on Mon Oct 19, 2009 1:56 pm

Lame, looks like an attempt at humor. I understand that Canadians and Americans have a similar type of sibling rivalry to aussies and kiwis. Get a sense of humor, this is really mild, as people have mentioned earlier not even 1/8th as bad as what the famous codeblue gets away with every 1vs1 game he loses.
