The Ubermensch Empire's national flag has a Nazi swastika inside its center. Can a mod take a look into this?

Please make all future requests of this nature through the Getting Help page. I'm dealing with it, but we'd rather you didn't publically accuse somebody of something that may not be true.

Understood. My apologies.

Jesus! Why can't you let the person have a nazi swastika? He's expressing his opinion! If you can't take that, then don't cry about it. Just leave it alone, and forget about it. Does it say, "Destroy all Jews?" No? It's his opinion. Yeah it goes to extent, but it's not destroying anyone. And he's definitely not creating a super army sitting at his computer desk. He's not making public speeches against jews sitting at his computer desk. He's just wanting to have fun. Just leave the man alone, and he'll leave you alone.



Trust me, a person sitting at his computer is no threat to you. There will not be another Kristalnacht. So don't worry about it.

The thing about this is that Max Barry owns the game, and he disapproves of swastikas being on his property. If you have a complaint, don't lash out at the players, as they didn't come up with the idea.

I hate that Nazi's had to go and use the swastika. the swastika is used in many other religions, and are regarded as a very holy symbol, such as buddhisim. but w/e, it is max barrys game, and it's up to him, so good luck with whatever you decide to do.

There have been debates over this time and time before. Check this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=431564) and this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=275081) (which is a sticky in the Archives) out.

Neo, you are right. It is his game and his rules are his rules. Tough luck, if you don't like them go somewhere else, would be the best response.

And yes Mac I agree, it is a religious symbol that they have, unfortunately, tainted and morphed into the most hated symbol of the modern world. Not many people actually know that the swastika comes from religious backgrounds, so two points for knowing that.

We aren't having this conversation again. If you don't like the swastica rule, too bad. There is no line of appeal for this. Don't e-mail the admins, don't e-mail Max. This isn't changing.
