I don't understand why people have an issue with the word raped like they do faggot or nigger. People have an issue with those words because people actually get called them in a derogatory manner and are made fun of using them, right? Im pretty sure almost nobody has ever made fun of somebody for actually being raped. I can see how the word raped could bring back bad memories for somebody that has actually been raped but its still completely different than the other words.

Everything doesn't need to be politically correct. People shouldn't completely refrain from saying a word around friends or teammates because it might offend someone else. I don't understand how calling a friend a faggot can be an issue to anybody. I actually have a much bigger problem with people that don't want the word used at all than with people that use it amongst friends. I can see how calling somebody you don't know a faggot could be a problem but if people want to use the words amongst friends what is the problem? I do have an issue with the word faggot when it is used in the actual gay sense but I wouldn't complain about it if somebody called me one in that manner. I might be offended but I wouldn't try to stop them from using the word ever.

If this campaign thing is aimed more at kids then I understand, but eventually you have to learn to deal with people and get thicker skin or else like others said you will have a hard time in life.

i won when i was 17 too :3

This thread scares me, I feel like if I read the whole thing I'll go crazy. Tagg's post is good though. That being said I'm pretty sure most people use the word faggot when someone is just being annoying or as a general insult (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcja4WFFzDw). Bloodsire's post is good too.

played very well at ETS with our team. don't know what sneaky is talking about but he could definitely hold his own in im. just needs to be more confident in his own skills.

The Witcher 2 was great

marisa and I will probably go :3

didn't you guys raise $1000 in donations? i don't see how you could be losing money out of pocket. $2200 should easily cover flights if they cost ~$300 each. you would also still have like $300 left for hotel rooms. you should be able to break even or atleast come close. im not counting food or anything like that into your totals because you would be paying for that anyway even not at lan. i know you have some canadians but they should be driving to the states and getting a flight from there like a lot of them do. if you're not then that is why you're losing money.

*edit* ah i see you guys only raised $500 something. still you should be able to come close to breaking even if you come 4th. it also gives you all the more incentive to come in 1st so you end up making $$$.

lower brackets are mondays and thursdays i think.

this upcoming season would be the first season that i think a 12 team invite season would actually be interesting. if 6-7 of the current invite teams stick together and 3 get moved up from im then thats 10 right there. there are also a couple invite teams trying to form which could be competitive too. i don't know if thats what killing was referring to in his dumb cryptic message but i think it could actually work out next season. i think increasing invite to 10 and still having only top 4 make lan would be good too. would make it a lot more competitive and teams would really need to earn their spots for lan. tf2 main is cool too though.
