Not being insulted is not a right. People take offence with everything. If not being insulted/offended is a right then we will enjoy eternal silence. Anything one says can be offensive to someone. On the contrary, people have the right to offend. It is even documented in many constitutions. The right to offend is paramount if we are going to have freedom of speech. Let me give a graphic example. There are advocates of paedophilia. They advocate that it is ok to have such intimate relations with minors. Hell, they even advocate that the use of the term paedophile should be disallowed because it makes paedophiles feel bad. Transgender prof Allyn Walker — who teaches sociology and criminal justice as a tenure-track assistant professor at Old Dominion University in Virginia — wants to destigmatize pedophilia. Now, Walker has penned a book — nay, a homage — called A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity. This person wants us to stop using this word and replace it with "minor attracted person". Do i like what this person is saying? Absolutely not. Can I restrict this person's voicing of opinion. NO. That person is free to say what that person wants. End of story. I can say that I believe that paedophiles should be castrated but I cant make Walker shut-up. Now, reading your statement above makes me wonder if you read what I said. Let me remind you. What happened in the Shalman Rushdie case is what happens when some people feel that they have the "right to be insulted or offended"

well, you "insulted" two. One is the Greek LOL who did not have brains enough so he got insulted and the Turks that saw their ethnicity being used as an insult. LOL Really, don't know what to say about this. LOL

you got the letter count correct PRC three letters, lol, but no, maybe, who knows

@Karkong_the_Impaler I am Greek. But this has nothing to do with my opinion on this subject. I fervently support free speech. Even when I don't like what is said. I also don't think it is by accident that the country with the most freedom of speech is the most powerful one in the world. And I find it rather annoying that Europe is going backwards on this issue. Think what you want and say what you want. Don't lie. DO NOT call for others to do illegal actions. Do not incite violence. These rules are enough for me. This said, I am known on this forum to be a rather very polite guy. I do not indulge in insults or verbal obscenities'. I think it is a sign of low intellect. Also, I will not get offended if someone blows the lid in chat. Who cares what a dumbfck types in that little window? IRL I have been blessed with a large body and even larger hands. LOL Not many take the risk of insulting me. Silly them. I wouldn't react LOL as I do not really care what an idiot is going to say. All the above being true for me, I do not understand all this snowflakery. As @ForlornSailor 's friend said : Darwin will take care of them.

I agree, BUT.....vigilantism is very dangerous.

Lokk, if I call you a thief (and I do not base my assertion on facts, or if my assertion, while based on facts, is wrong) I am defaming you. I cause you harm. Real harm. If I say "I think you are stupid" .... you can see the difference. The second is a statement of opinion. It is not slander or libel. Or you don't see a difference?

Notwithstanding your false analogy, it seems that you consider it against the law if someone calls you an idiot. Newsflash: It isn't I also believe that thinking and opinion should not be regulated. Anyway, too much said. You can think what you want and I can think what I want. No need for us to agree.

Look, I am in this game since 2018. I have seen some nasty stuff. The only response I can think of is ignore. Including what they said about my mother or whatever. Someone that I don't know, I don't care about and I do not interact with in anyplace except the brief encounter in a "battle on WoWs" cannot be taken seriously. So YES. Nasty words are just that - Nasty Words - not worth more time and especially not worth me getting excited over them. My stance is to ignore the idiot and laugh at the Karen. Your opinion. From my almost 60 years of life and working in hard and tough environments WORDS are WORDS. You are an idiot if you get in a fist fight because of words. Are you comparing events of WW II that killed tens of millions of people to a stupid keyboard warrior that is typing from their mom's basement about what happens in a game? That is a false analogy. Classic fallacy. I have expressed my opinion.

1. You want to hold someone accountable because they told you that you suck and you would be better off playing Tetris? Be my guest. Newsflash: Global Warming is a thing. Snowflakes should hide in the fridge. 2. If words escalate to violence then people involved are idiots. I don't care about idiots. 3. In free countries people are free to express opinion. The only thing that brings legal consequences is defamation. If you don't like my opinion change channel. Anyway, nasty words are a first world problem and people that complain about everything and need safe spaces and words hurt them will be taken care by Darwin.

Really now? Let me just say to my friends that have suffered racism in their lives not to worry. Sweet snowflakes that got reported in a game for playing subs also feel this racism.

I will be the baddy here. What toxicity? (whatever this stupid neologism means) Someone (that does not know you and you don't know them) types a few insults in a chat box and your sensitive self gets offended? Grow up and just ignore the idiot. Newsflash: You can also blacklist them and never see any of their typing. Furthermore, someone telling you that you are bad at the game and you suck at playing ships is not toxic. That person is expressing an opinion. If you think that's toxic the problem is all yours. I have news for you. Life is a lot harder and people have serious and true problems compared to "awww he said nasty words at me".

if you post the replay file here I will have the game up on youtube without commentary in a couple of hours and post it on this thread. This is a game I really want to see

Silver for coal is a good option. Silver is easy to get. Coal for RB points is not so good value for money LOL. 200K coal (the value of a T10 ship in coal) = 20K RB = 1/3 of a RB ship. Not a good deal. I only bid 50 mil for 100K coal. Even that is too much given that 50 mil is the price of a T10(+) but I have so I don't really care.

@Humorpalanta @Chaos_Umbra one green one red The best ranked game

Watch this it will show you exactly where to shoot @BlueMerry One Salvo - 46600 HP damage - 3 cits + 2 overpens @ 13 Km distance

I run MMM when I play. Call me toxic if you want. I don't give a sh1t. My observations are the following: MM is random. You get (over a significant amount of battles - duhhh this is how statistics work) an equal amount of battles that all the good players are on your team and an equal amount of battles that all the good players are on the red team. Most battles are more or less equal (1 to 2 % dif on average winrates but this has absolutely no significance. Taking average winrates into account just shows you don't know the game or statistics). What is sad is that most of the players in the game are in the red. (Most of the time) We are only one or two players with green or blue (let alone purple) on each team. I have played many battles that my team should have lost (according to MMM) but we won. And many battles that we should have won but we lost. However, I saw no-one complain on the forum if their team is supergood and the red team is superbad, they take the win and the XP and go in the achievements thread and post the results. Glory ! The following are what I consider to be true statements: 1. MM is not rigged. It is random and what you observe is proof that it is random. (streaks, imbalances etc.) 2. Players (most of them) do not know how to play the game. 3. Players that use MMM (most of them) do not know how to read a table with statistics. Result: they pick one that has lots of blue and purple on the other side and come to the forum to post the one millionth thread of "Bad MM - Rigged - Outrage" Reality check: If you do not know how to read a statistics table or how to play the game uninstall MMM. It does not help you. If you end up in a bad team, do your best and enjoy the game. You might lose. So what? If you want to be able to have a bit better odds play in division. This way you can make sure that at least 3 players on your team will be good. In this case you carry and have no right to complain. Regards Salt

Hi there @Alchemist79 Lots of good advise has been given about what DD you should pick. It all comes down to personal style so I will just add on what has been said. As a DD player myself I will say that Shimakaze is one fine ship if she is played correctly. (don't let her stats mislead you) On your way to the Shima you will find the Yugumo. She is also a fine ship. This solves your "I like torpedoes" thingy. The Cossack is an amazing ship. RN DDs are a fine line to grind. Frightening (LOL) and Jutland are amazing ships. Daring is not a bad choice. Now if you want to print credits learn how to farm operations (not Newport). You will need a T6 and a T7 Cruiser for that. T7 best farmer is the Fiji for Narai. You can train your captains and print some good credit. In Whale and Aegis you can use the Leander (so you grind up to fiji easy).
