I care so much about what people might think about my posting, I don't want my name to start by D because lately people have started saying people who's name starts by D are bad posters. Wouldn't want that therefore I paid real monies. Just  I can't wait for the next time you laugh at someone who paid  to join.

Sorry you're too loving ignorant to know this. Here's an article to back me up incase you're too stupid to know this to begin with. Now you're reaching and trying to find racism when there is none. quote:"To call a spade a spade" entered the English language when Nicholas Udall translated Erasmus in 1542. Famous authors who have used it in their works include Charles Dickens and W. Somerset Maugham, among others. Sure some people may have used it in a racist fashion, but that's their problem.

I'm willing to bet that 99% of all people who ever used "Call spade a spade" thought it referred to a deck of card. The intent of a person matters a lot more than the words they use, especially when dealing with an obscure racist notion that no one is even aware of.

Sorry you're too loving ignorant to know this. Here's an article to back me up incase you're too stupid to know this to begin with. Leaving aside the fact that a post by a no-name blogger on the NPR website is not what sane people would consider an authoritative source, how can you be so exquisitely dumb as to link an article saying that "spade" has been a racial slur since the late 1920s then show that you just turned it up in google without reading it by moving the stated date forward by a century into the 1800s? All that is to one side, however: just because some blogger on the NPR site says "oooh, you can't use that just in case someone who has no grasp of language is dumb and thinks you are a racist" doesn't make you right. One can still call figs figs and a kneading-trough a kneading-trough. Actually wait, I'm sorry, was occasional blogger Lakshmi Ghandi recently appointed Convenor of Hostorical Revisionism in Language?

I stopped giving a poo poo about fake cries of racism years ago when I politely said hi to a lady as I walked past her, and was called a racist. I wouldn't have cared much if it wasn't for the fact that she went to my boss and made a complaint about my "blatant racism" and the fact that "I was following her around because she was muslim". When my boss went to look on the camera's he could clearly see that I walked past her without even slowing my stride. So gently caress your fake idea's of racism.

Why don't you guys form a LS incursion squad like TEST has? TESTcursions was almost the only thing keeping me logged in when TEST was at it's lowest in the failcascade. It's not completely boring poo poo, and you make some ~iskies 4 ur t00nies~. poo poo you could even rub up against some of the people fighting you and make space-friends.

Winner gets to punch every idiot that still thinks GSF doesn't have squads for literally everything in the drat game already.

I chased a ton of LS incursions and the only people I ever saw, other than TEST, were the russians. If you're talking about HS incursions then at your poverty-tier isk making.

OK a new and good rule for the thread. There is to be no more discussion on racism. Use of racist terms or anything about it. There are racist people in the world and I feel sad for them, but I do not want to let it drag down a thread about space gaming. If people in the alliance you are in act racist then I would not talk to them or be friends with them. I would consider them to be lost souls who need guidance with their views. However, this should not affect our posting about the game in this thread.

I kinda miss it cause while I was in there, they were led by the spergiest person alive who'd have a meltdown whenever someone deviated from expected standards by liked 2%. So basically constant and I'm weird for missing it. No idea what the current situation allows for. Also VG is a gem.

Null incursions really isn't a thing that leaves a lot of room for error. But I think LS incursions aren't being ran because we would get chased down and killed pretty much instantly.
