Random question from Russian guy

<< < (3/5) > >>

Schwalbe:
People tend to forget that lies and propaganda is a weapon with two ends. That's why I said I cannot be sure about that. On the other hand, you might have a right, taking count on content of russian media itself, not shown from perspective of different media or anything.

As for the regular distribution... weeeeeell... most of those rude players I encountered WERE russians. HOWEVER this might be just my bad luck. As I said - as far as nobody converts me nor try to act like superior entity, may fly with me without getting yelled / experiencing heavy salvos of my sarcasm / reports+blocks.

I say this, cause I don't wish to be misunderstood. He asked to be honest. I was. And I suppose only my ex liked my brutal honesty so far...

Personally, I don't mind some brutal honesty; It's when you're an asshole while being brutally honest I have a problem with.

Thats a real no true scotsman there.

Brutal honesty and being offended by it is entirely subjective and dependant on who hears it. If it is merely honesty then it your own fault for holding aggressive denial over it, or even acting hurt by it. You can't say something like you said andapply it to reality, as that holds a selectiveness of what honesty is.


Often times I'm called an asshole for saying basic things like. If you were faster with that hull we wouldn't have died. If you didn't ignore that balloon fire we would have killed the target before that pop happened giving the enemy those key few seconds to counter. If you hadn't got a wrench mallet, you could have fixed that much faster. If you ran your chem patterns we wouldn't be on fire.

Those simple common sense words, are seen as very douchey by very whiny individuals who only want to hear praise. Sometimes I think they only ever realise their mistakes when I'm not saving their butts and joining the opposite team and showing just how much I had helped them by thoroughly (and effortlessly) destroying them.

Back in the old days with AI crew.

There's an equal distribution of rude players from every country.  The language barrier is what I'm sure frustrates most people, but it's like that with any people group. Russians aren't more or less rude than anyone else.

The Russian invasion that happened in Jan/Feb after launch was probably the worst period in GOIO history. Where I learned to instantly block list anyone speaking Russian. Oh man those players were bad. Loud, obnoxious, worse than XBL players. Every ship had to have hwacha or rockets of some kind. They'd get on your boat then ask "Why no hwacha?" Even if it was a squid, why no hwacha?! Then get verbally abusive if you didn't change it. Part of the reason Brick stopped playing as much as I did. He just got fed up with them. I told him to just block list but he didn't want to bother. We've had a long running joke whenever we see a galleon with all hwachas..."Hey Brick! Look, Russians!"

Not anti Russian at all but I've yet to meet a decent Russian player outside of Polaris in this game. Polaris, those guys were generally considered to be human beings. The others during that invasion...I dunno what species I'd classify them under. I'd like to put them and a bunch of CoD players inside a cage and do a thunderdome re-enactment. Then never open the cage.

Arturo Sanchez:
with hwacha spam... that would be a very long and boring fight.

I am now unhyped at thunderdome. You ruined by childhood. :'(


Also I might as well cross borders and just say it frankly, like any brit would.

1. Italians lag because of their poor internet. (only basing this off the fighting game community)
2. British want to pick a fight when you disagree with them and in the tone they say it, it seems like they want a fist fight with a dude in the internet. also ya mum jokes
3. americans act like belligerent children. get cocky when they win, even in matches where they got carried by a vet. and no loss is ever directly their own fault.
4. koreans are super competitive but hold a rudimentary understanding of how to be and hence charge in thinking they can be rambo.
5. russians are pushy and are noob know it alls that know nothing apparently.



so yes. we all got our own lil stereotypes that exemplify our respective nations poorly. take it with a grain of salt. just don't get too salty.



I'm an equal opportunity noob hater.

IvKir:
Thanks for all the replies and i actually was prepared for shitstorm, but still don't want it. Just, well, opinion on my country.
And concerning "rude russians", well in our country we use term "schololo" for them - couse mostly it's students from school and we, adequate russians, hate them even more than you. ) For obvious reason.
Still, i'm really glad that you different government from people.

--- End quote ---

Well, we tend to talk about our land as of Woman, Mother, who feed us and treat us as it's children. It was started even before our country accepted the Christianity.
And that was thing, actually. "Motherland calls!" shout bring more people to fight against Nazi in World War 2, than "For Stalin" or something like that.
