Ok, i feel the need to post this here, because it's pissing me off more and more.
I hate people poking fun, impersonating or otherwise ridiculing my english accent. I really hate it. And anyone who does will be getting a torrent of abuse from me. No, i don't care who it is.
I don't start impersonating anyone elses accents on voice do i? No. I don't. Because it's rude and half the people that *think* they can do an english accent do nothing but spout pointless racial stereotypes. And you know what, every time someone does this, i'm gonna start whining to the admins about it. I will not rest until every last racist bastard who decides to think it's funny to ridicule my accent is banned.
Now you may be thinking that i'm overreacting or whatever? But to be honest, it really goddamn bugs me, it's insulting, and there is not a damn thing i can do with my accent. Would you make fun of someone with a birth defect? Would you make fun of someone in a wheelchair? Sorry, those people can do as much to change their problems as i can to change my accent.
So for all you no who've done it in the past and think it's funny, no you.
If you're going to self-censor, go all the way. Starring out half the letters isn't good enough

...I think your accent is cool
-
o_O
-
...I think your accent is cool
Seconded.
and erm, Esuna i'm not sure, but :D might be censored, if so, you should edit your post a bit.

i believe that there was a pennyarcade comic that would be appropriate here, but i lost it
don't mind the e-tards
-
Nuked.
I take it it's this one?
Smacktards. The internet is full of 'em. They may not even realize it themselves v_v
Accents are, for the most, win. Any accent besides Danish accents anyway. So this is one of those rare events where one might say "They're just jealous" and actually be right o_O
British 4 teh win!
-
Least you dont get things about the scottish accent...only had it a few times but aparently i sound more americain now.
-
Caviar?
nah j/k though some RS'ers bugged ya in the past you know that we all <3 you :p
and if i had pissed you off ever by doing it in the past, i am sorry :(
and besides, i think english accents pwn. Its a good touch after ya hit on a girl, makes ya sound smart! ;)
though ive never tried it before because id end up being laughed at
-
Thing's like this really bugs me, that's the main reason I don't use my mic.
Last time i heard someone bash on your accent was today, by someone named "BizZy| 9mm something something". Really pissed me off but there's not much you can do since you can't block 1 persons text. God i hope they'll include that in the future.

Sorry to hear about that esuna. Im a country boy and Ive had people make fun of my 'accent' as well. I just brush it off to ignorance and stupidty (leaning on the side of stupidity).
Guess Im just one of them thar unedumacated hill folk.
-
I dont see why people do that trying to impersonate accents to make fun of people, if I impersonate one I do it because I think it's cool (mind you not the english one much, as im part french and im pretty sure that s a sin somewhere ;) )
But if people do it constently it only shows how stupid people are...
-
When i pug everyone asks me to say "life is like a box of chocolates" because i sound like forest gump + i'm cool and euro. It's fun, i never hate them because of it, infact it's made me something of a celeb!
-
What I take from this is "Bob please ban all the idiots."
Consider it done, sir.
-
What about people who naturally take on others' accents just by hearing them? (My friend asked, she does that. It's not a concious effort, she just takes it on.)
-
I have a weird euro accent and so what if people make fun of it. It's not like it makes me less fortunate in life or something.
-
SO SORRY PLEASE DON'T CUT YOURSELF!
-
esuna... has an.. accent? i honestly can't tell through that torrent of swearing he passes off for voice communication :p
-
Is it sexier than mine, though? And, in light of this discussion, IS my accent sexy, or were you just making fun of me? o_O
-
Uh well my accent scares people.........
(Apparently......)
-
I would have to vote for esuna's accent to be the sexiest, but then again that's probably because he's always saying things like 'Bob is a hot and sexy manpai,' and suchlike. Then probably Niteowl's accent, because he's always screaming like a madman. :D
And lf... I haven't heard your voice in so long... memories... fading... Could you just call me up? What's the charge for calling from Germany? Not that bad, right?
-
erm i think LF accent is somewhat similar to mine. but i might be mistaken.
And about Niteowl, darn that man is a pwn comm, not skillwise but the sheer GO TO YOUR :DING WAYPOINT together with the thought that, this is some old man yelling at you. THAT is pwn
-
NOT SKILLWISE????!?!?!?!?!
I rise in rage to defend the honor of my most beloved comm. He's got the skills to command armies of thousands of men, I tell you! The only reason his godlike strategies ever fail is because of poor marines. Nite himself cannot be impugned!
-

I think with 'good marines' any comm could be good. Just drop a waypoint in a hive and go make a sandwich...
-
But with 'I'm going to go wander in this direction and the comm can go BLEE! himself marines,' it's hard to do anything. Like a team made up of a lot of vets. I've seen people go 70-4, and yet their team still loses. Why? They just ramboed to a hive and camped for kills. Didn't cap res, didn't upgrade, so they lost. You've got to have marines that will at least follow orders and cap res for you, or you can't win.
(And the res that came from all those kills? Where did it go? "MEDSPAM ME" "AMMOSPAM ME"... yeah, you're really helping your team out there chief) /OT rant

Well, so was the commander who complied...

nothing but teh lurve for the gruntmaster flex! :D
and DHP, if youjsut love my screaming, well, as long as i can make the game entertainging for ya :D
-
what I meant with "Not skillwise" is that it wasn't what I wanted to comment. Guess I screwed up didn't I :p. I can't really comment Niteowls skill since i played with him, like two times. But! both had sweet sweet comraging.
-
esuna your accecnt is win dude, don't let the player haters bring a G down :D
-
somtimes my country accent slips out, seeing as how i am from kentucky, I think its cool to hear people from other countries, and I'm sorry if I ever offended you, thought I don't remember when that would be, but if I did i'm sorry <3
-
dude, you have a kentucky accent?!? let 'er rip!! we can have you as the stereo typical grunt from the south with the hmg holding the swarm of invaders!!!
"Lead!! HOLD THAT FLANK!!"
"YESSIR!! *looks at crumpled photo* Just hold on there MayBelle, I'm coming home! AAAAARRRRGGHH!!!!"
-
Very unneeded, both the borderline flames from esuna and the rampant spam.
Cut it out.
If someone is breaking the rules in the server by disrespecting you (or your accent, same thing) get thier Steam ID, name, and post it in the PR forum. Banned. 'Nuff said.
