Boo! Say yes to offensive behaviour!

Awww, hate to be all big headed, but that's blatantly come about because of us

Offensive is subjective.

That or the person writing "Kill all niggers" etc round the shipwreck.

Personally I think that is much worse than the teabagging of someone, but some are peculiar if you don't rp the way they want you to.

That, it is rather bad, the level of effort to put signs up, and write it in the sand all the time, to the extent as the person does, they surely can't be doing anything else in shartak. I swam around t'other day and landed up on some island/peninsula thing, as soon as I did I was out of ap. logged in next day to find the cracker had killed me, citing 'get off my island you dirty fucking nigger', which was nice. I can't remember where exactly it was, but I'd love to find him and place my apparently black testicles in his face after I've stabbed the fucking life out of him.

I think its a combination of things.

If Simon had a real problem with 5punk there would have been contact about it.

I've seen much more disturbing things from non-5punk members.

Yeah. We're puerile without a doubt but I wouldn't have thought many people would find us offensive. Apart from maybe whoever happens to have invoked out teabaggy wrath at any particular moment in time.

I don't think it was just 5punk. The array of offensive behavior possible in Shartak goes way beyond what 5punk does. EG, somebody possessed James to write something that I believe was a sexual reference (I'm not positive, since it contained so much slang, I had trouble interpreting it). Rather gratuitous, really. There's also the racism and foul language some players exhibit. So, yeah, I'd say it's a lot of things. Simon generally doesn't post stuff like this unless it's a consistent problem.

not to mention, he'd probably have had a word with us while we were still teabagging etc, not make a news post over a month later.

I suspect it's most likely the twatty racism and excessive spamming of other games that pushed him to it, rather than us acting like 12 year olds.

I thought that was part of our charm

But yeah, we're childish, but if asked nicely we're very reasonable. (Just don't let anyone know this)

Absolutely, it's our trademark no less.

Fine, I'll retract my previous ego growing statement due to the statements we wern't that harsh.

Even if I havn't heard of the "Nigger-twatmangle" incidents and only have experience of the lulz we created with Dr Hodo-gate on the boards.

HodoLie was about four, six people, max. 5punkimmaturity, though is something that's universal and I hope will never diminish.

Personally, I think "12-year-old" sounds a bit grown-up for my maturity level, and that general B-Tagging, Hool-Fardy Tum-Bouching and B'Um-ing shouldn't have any offensive connotations when viewed with such a lower level of awareness.

Still, we can make our name stand out in other ways than upsetting prudish nannycops. Not that we would be that organised, just saying we could...
