pride and arrogance are hard to mix...

it depends on what we're talking about

I find it impossible to be racially "arrogant"

lol it even sounds weird

Although, on my part, i am "ultra-nationalistic" which is a used term

Im from Korea, if you haven't noticed by my name

Ok, don't get why you wouldn't be here though..

And arrogance and pride actually are really close to each other, the border between them is vague at times.. (Now i'm really of to bed will reply tommorow..)

i live in the U.S., but i'm chinese. some americans really disgust me, but i'm sure there are people from all over the world that would disgust me too, i just haven't met them yet.

and personally

I encourage showing the world (even the virtual one) where you are from

although i might be a little hypocritical because I have a name without a racial identification, I figured I wouldnt need one. Hell, why would a native Korean play iSRO when theres a much improved, better kSRO?

and, no offense but, I feel way more comfortable with Asian ppl

Im sure that most of us here do feel more comfortable with ppl of our origin

thats natural, and I would fully understand that

just dont confuse " the uneasiness" and racism

If "US" was in someones name, It'll look odd and I bet very few people will get what it means/stand for. I didn't know that Br in name/guild stood for Brazilian/Brazil...I use to think Block ratio guild?..Wtf? =/

you may have missed a long-ago previous post, but I chose to play iSRO because of;

1. HUGE lag on the kSRO (interestingly enough, I live in America, so the connection is s l o w

2. download time was huge too-it was pretty uninviting, but I did it anyway

3. sounds wierd, but I personally thought kSRO would be too addicting-there is wayyyy too much to do. And of course, I have a real life to worry about

Turks, Germans, Brazilians, they all put their country in their name to help them find others that they can communicate with.

If it had to do with pride, then yeah, I wouldn't put USA in my name, because I happen to think the country has gone in a shithole.

daigold, what a bunch of noobs.

0x33 is where it's at. daigold is just good at spamming 0x33 forums and stealing software.

[GM]ýcemýlk_TR: 10k plýzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i frankly just find those people annoying, most VN and TR people are spammers

ive met some pretty nice turks too... its just the general trend among one ethnic group: they just like to bot alot. im sure the general community will find them alot easier to interact with if they overcame the huge language barrier.

and my point is proven by: http://www.google.com/trends?q=silkroad+bot

yeah today some guy named GM_Gallardo was spamming me full with some latino language which i didn't understand. Now all brazilians or spanish or whatever are bad or what? I don't get it, how can you generalize an opinion about a whole nation on some idiot which spammed you?

i have one character with a _BG (now deleted though) in it and that's all. the only reason i did that was because annoying turks kept asking me if i was a turk. i used to get a message like that pretty much everyday.

I mean how the f*ck does Jasen sound turkish.

im surprised, how can you be pride if you from any of those countries?

It's just to show other players that they speak the language..

Hmm what you mean I dont show pride of my country ?
But anyway I dont care if they do or not but so long they dont go to far about it.

most ppl from those countries are stupid squirrelheads

It wasn't until recently that I learned that the abbreviations were even codes for different countries. Could I have some help in sorting them out?

So far I have ...

TR=Turkey
BR=England
PL=Poland
GR=Germany
VN=Vietnam
NL=the Netherlands
NZ=New Zealand

CN=Canada?
BG=?

Are there others?

BR is Brazilian.
England would be UK.

BG = Bulgaria

GR is Greece, not GERmany.

And how is BR England? BR is Brazil.

Some people use their Internet .xx for expressing their country, some use the uhm ... "car tag"? like DE for Germany, or GER.

I am not a friend of this, because too many racist ..... message you when wearing a specific tag. Who wants to know where I am from can ask or cut it.

For those who are interested, here's a list of the INTERNET abbreviations (2 characters) ... those can differ though from the "car tags" / international abbreviations which have 3 (three) characters.

Thus some countries have a code for their country in their own language ... for example Estonia (EEsti) or Germany (DEutschland).

sickening. racism, open flames, bot accusations, bot support, all in the same thread. let the bannings commence. you have no one to blame but yourself.
