[Drakarska]

@ Vinz; ROFL and well played

@ Seraiel; I dunno, kind looks like the map is flippin' you the Bird

As a non-native english speaker, I don't understand that paraphrase.

[EDIT]

Just googled that expression. Post reported.

Donut land!

Donut land!

Homer Simpson would be in heaven!

Looks suspiciously like another map script to me. The game's obviously trolling you.

And I hope you didn't really report that post.

I also found that it looks almost like Inland Sea, but then the water around the land wouldn't fit.

And yes, I did report that post, Google says that "flippin' the bird" is colloqial for "showing the middle finger" . Drakarska didn't explain it himself, so I have to believe Google atm.

Your interpretation is correct; I couldn't perceive any intention to offend you in Drakarska's post, but let's leave that to the moderators.

I was going to post something about flipping the bird / showing the middle finger (how can a middle finger be offensive? ... unless there are other reasons that I am not following for reporting a post ...)

... but I couldn't find a funny screenshot ...

... so I decided not to post at all.

@Seraiel
Besides that the black in the middle actually could look like a stretched arm with a raised finger, I think what Drak meant was the map-generator screwed you over/ bugged out.
I dont see anyway that could be offensive to you, and knowing Drak from a long time here on CFC, I'm very confident that he did not mean any harm.

Thx, but I'm not so sure of that because of the mischief-smiley. To me this seems, like he found joy in the map-generator making a vulgar gesture to me, and that is actually like he would make that gesture to me.

Maybe I'm being over-sensitive, but I somehow memorize that we clashed together once already, and that that contact also wasn't positive, so maybe an inconsiderate comment just hit on already bad relations.

I second vincentz here, seems to me to be completely innocent, there is nothing there to indicate any other intention, the mischief smiley simply represents it is meant in a jokey way, the opposite of how it appears to you

Staff is discussing the comment. It does not seem that it was directed at Seraiel but instead concerns the map. Does not seem that it was meant to be offensive to Seraiel. This is one of the problems with English slang in a forum with an international group of members.

Cash for clunkers, shrimp for cars, whatever works.

I find the name of the Egyptian city a lot more amusing, to be honest.

And welcome!

 

[reddishrecue]

Is that a mod?

Thank you. About names: I wanted to change the automatic city names and that happened .
