But of course they insult you when you beat them at spar or whatever, it's like that nearly everywhere, they just have another insult (as in, "stupid ami"), but guess how many times they get called "stupid nazi" on UN?
I'm going to be honest here, I worked on a PW for pretty much all of its very long time on the classic tab (Doomsday was the server and yes I know there was no classics "tab" back then) and was about every type of staff there you could imagine including Co-Manager and the amount of times I saw racism in the face of those that spoke little-to-no Enlish was extremely minimal. Usually the server was so happy to see new players (and don't try and respond that Atlantis has no problem getting new players) that everyone didn't care if a "stupid nazi", as you have decided to name these oh so often racially insulted, were beating them in a spar, CTF tourney, or whatever else. Perhaps it happens somewhere, but that kind of racial intolerance has certainly never been a part of my long graal experience.

Ah I just read that last section again. UN is probably the PW I would have guessed you'd see that kind of thing at. UN is usually given the bad rap of newbish and brutish players (whether or not its true). But tell me this, does Atlantis want to be known as the "German UN"? Perhaps its time someone had a talk with the players and reminded them that if they want to be treated fairly, they can start by setting a good example themselves.
