I'm sorry that I agree with Hysterica, this has nothing to do with RvR or why this forum exists.. There are general forums, especially made for these type of threads... This isnt a fact you can get around, its on every channel on tv at least once per day, its on all news sites at least in the top 10 topics...
So no, for me, I dont care to see it here also...
Btw, you shouldnt care about the people that died, you cant help those people, their dead... It doesnt matter if 10 people died, or 200.000, as those people are passed help... What matters is how the survivers get back to their 'normal' lives...
Still though, why bring it up here also... This is a game forum, and the specific forum is about war within that game... If anything, its not even appropriate to bring it up here...

I am certain that your view of this hardly represents the majority. Furthermore, a mod has already stated that this thread will stay as is. If you don't like that then find elsewhere to post.
Also, if I see any more shite posted in here users are going to be banned.
The total disregard for human life by some people on these forums really just does astonish me,a lot of you should be bloody ashamed of yourself.Yes this is a forum for daoc but also its a place where a certain degree of freedom of speech is allowed.

I am afraid that this would probably be true in that case
That said, and ignoring some whines, this thing is really really sad. And the worst thing is that we had the technology that could minimize the casualties by warning people early but because countries were poor no one ever cared to implement it
Hope humanity will be taught a lot by all this and become better in the future. As for donations, I haven't done anything yet but I intend to very soon but either way, that is something coming from the heart: you can't make someone do it... That's for now and my condolences to anyone having lost anywhere there.

Those people still have relatives/families that may or may not have survived the disaster and they require help.. as do all the other survivors.
You seem to be "blessed" with some sort of total ignorancy that clouds your extremely limited vision on what is actually important in life.. screw the game, it can and most probably will be replaced; human life cannot be replaced. Please crawl back under the rock that you came from..

Right.. and one of the poorest countries in the world (Mozambique) manages to gather $100,000 in aid to donate to the relief effort. I and a lot of other people also pay taxes to our respective governments.. still we donate something extra to something that has fvck all to do with our government and everything to do with humanity. Go out and see the world first..

Once again we have a wanna be dictator...this is free country people have aright to say what ever they want.Just because you and the majority does not agree, not in anyway does that give you the right to surpress that persons freedom of speech.Jupitus said:
A couple of months ago Cornwall was hit by flash floods i lost most of my home 2 good friends fortunatly no family.I don't recall anyone comming here to post a plea for help and i wouldn't expect it,this is a rvr forum for a game. As already said there are pleanty of other places that you can donate help.
This after all is a game and i play it to get away from real life problems or atleast forget them for a time.
Feel free to ban me i'm sure that will help those people ...

Internet does not constitute a country..
Of course everyone is entitled to their freedom of speech.. thing is there is also something as abusing that right to freedom of speech. Knowing when and when not to say something completely irrelevant or hurtful to other people is a part of that.
Sure there are many other places where one can add/donate to the relief effort but what is wrong with someone or some people drawing our attention to it on a game forum. If you (or anyone else for that matter) doesnt agree then at least have the common decency to ignore the thread instead of post pointless and obvious flamebait comments.

I tried not include any flame bait of any sort.in no way do i agree with the things said but the heavy handed "ban them" approch is somthing i find it hard to come to terms with.I have no problem with the post at all, i was just saying this is a game and imo only i didn't think it was the place to post it.Votan said:

a Happy New Year.

Well the flamebait comment was not geared to you as you can and do express yourself in a way thats comprehensible to any person capable of understanding the modern english language.
Banning is a heavy handed way of doing things but in this case it was completely justified. Lower-then-pondlife could have easily ignored the thread instead of posting rude and utterly useless comments.. i mean its not that hard.
A happy new year to you too mate
