4. We are aware of the issues regarding food, that the players have risen and are looking to resolve them as soon as possible. Since the house has not yet been fully manned with players with frequent changes the provisioning schedule was the hardest to keep up to date. MoW statement from exactly a month ago. so no, nothing changed and people get angry if the food sucks or even go hungry. MoWs own little food riot :D | ||

Every pro player got brain... if they dont wanna suport it , they dont , if they wanna they will suport simple as that.. Dont think of players like kids , and sugest them what to do.. , they are adults ( not everyone , but most of them) | ||

Either way, we need players to be a little more self-aware and understand that not everyone is going to treat them well..and they need to learn to protect themselves. If a situation sounds too good to be true..that's because it is. | ||

If not, it's the fault of the players for not being more self-aware and asking shit like this. If it was, and MoW lied then that is unacceptable and players just need to leave. An organization does not get better on it's own because it spontaneously grows a conscience..players need to leave and be done with this organization. Either way, we need players to be a little more self-aware and understand that not everyone is going to treat them well..and they need to learn to protect themselves.

I don't think what Des said was out of line at all. He only raised his voice slightly to counter the absolute screaming coming from the "manager" with poor english. That manager wasn't listening to him at all or providing anything useful, basically just trying to talk down Des like a jerk. | ||

This won't be a super-ultra professional statement and fluff, there is no need of that anymore. I hope a lot of people will understand the point of Ministry of Win, because this is first and the last big explanation – of the project and me as well. Allegations of the other players that left Ministry of Win in last topic: Most of you never said anything about the problems while you were staying in the house. It’s too late now, you know? Still - thank you for your contribution. Parties in Ministry of Win: They happened, mostly with the other guys on weekends (yes, guys, with you drinking glasses of vodka as well, thank you for your contribution in here). Other situations were happening not often and not without any reason. It grows to a large size. Too large size. Sound file: This was obviously not me (Maciej) in the room, I came later and invited desRow to the office, where we handled the whole situation. Michael acted improperly and too emotional, as well as desrow did. We explained everything in the office – it shouldn’t have appeared on the stream. We find desRow as a really good guy – that’s the reason why he got invited to the house for free as well. It’s all about desire to practice as well. Food issues: We were trying to change and improve the food as much as we could. Remember one thing – services costs 2500PLN a month, it’s good to remember all the costs that we are covering: - House Rent - High speed Internet - Electricity - Gas - Other bills - Car (so we can drive with the guys to the desired places) - Salary - Chemical stuff - Food - Cook - Cleaner - Laundry - etc… It is sad that most of you think that living in Poland is THAT cheap. Most of the costs (similar to the house rent) are spent on the food and cooking staff – about 10.000 PLN+ each month. Unfortunatelly, to keep this project alive we can’t provide 5 meals each day. After a loud expression of the opinion by Marc and one of the managers of MoW, two meetings were held this day, which were aimed at the final elimination of the problem. They have been carried out effectively, and further steps will be taken very soon – maybe even exchanging the Staff in this project. (It’s not offending anyone, we may just have to test something else). I would like you to stop talking about the money because it is not the point of this project at this level. It is impossible to tell you everything as this is a company secret. Let’s start to behave mature. There will be always problems with the food, as everyone is different, everyone likes other things, everyone needs more/less to eat. After this few months it’s sure that we will never satisfy everyone living in the house. It’s impossible with the actual price and the conditions. The reason of the price being 2500PLN is to make this place cheapest as possible – so it can grow faster as well. Some people said “Boss is money hungry”. What? Seriously? Go back to the costs again, please. About my person: Yes, it is Maciej right now. I would like you to understand one thing. This house is our house. Players are our guests. We require our guests to stick to our rules. Rules are simple, as in normal house, no one had any problems with that before. If someone had, we were trying to solve them as soon as possible. I did not spent almost one year now (yes, it was my idea and my work through the whole time) to make this place as it appears in media right now. I was always trying to be a nice person. Sometimes yes - I was too emotional, but it has nothing to do with current situation. Please, stop it. PS. Noticimus, “Edit #2 After one of the parties they actually asked the players if they could borrow money to fund electricity bill for a month, they probably used their budget on sausages and alcohol(there was a lot of alcohol)” this is too cool. I will print it and stick it to the wall above my desk. MoW statement from reddit tldr : shut up we´ll take your money. we party so what? its our house. it cost money and even time (surprise) | ||

I'm kinda disapointed. MoW has to rearrange their accounting, or the boss(es) is/are really as greedy as mentioned. I do understand that it isn't easy to manage such a project, but if it doesn't work out, something has to change. If they not change anything, i won't shed any tears. Bankrupt as earned. | ||

Its unfortunate that the whole issue of the living conditions in pro-gaming houses and MoW's shady business practices are being overshadowed by Desrow's poor choice of words. Re: nigger vs jew. I assume the context of the words isn't the same in Europe vs North America because of the different history of these minority groups within their respective countries. Nonetheless, saying one is worse than the other is irrelevant because ultimately, it doesn't change the simple reality that these are loaded, damaging words when they're used like we see here. | ||

There is a Louis CK bit out there that illustrates this nicely. | ||

Also something needs to be done if players have to resort to going to McDonalds all the time. That shit is VERY unhealthy. | ||

Even though the head-manager seems to be a nice guy, you are the one who takes the responsibility for your employes, aswell as all the other things like take a look at the food-schedule or the cooking staff. The tweet from Desitny and the lunch tells the wohle story... I can't see how you will survive or keep going... | ||

The tweet from Desitny and the lunch tells the wohle story... I can't see how you will survive or keep going... He took responsiblity for his employees, the player-manager was new, he acted unprofessional and the boss made sure that it won't happen again. We also had 2 meetings together with the management, in which we discussed the whole situation and worked out a solution. Redo food-schedule, getting new cooking staff, etc.. Destiny's tweet is meant sarcastic, it was of course not the lunch we had today There are problems sometimes and there were plenty of problems in the past, but there are in any business, the important thing is to figure them out and to try to find solutions and they actually do that as good as they can. Many people have this image of the greedy boss who scams everyone. I hope i don't blow your mind, when i tell you that he actually doesn't earn anything himself. If this house would be really so bad, then there wouldn't be so many players coming and staying in the house. This house has potential and it shows results, like Cytoplasm and Snute qualifying for MLG and IPL or Targa getting 3rd place at Dreamhack. Convince yourselves and tune in to the streams. You can hear the entire gaming room over the microphones. There are nice people, hard training, an enjoyable atmosphere a lot of fun and occasionally problems that we try to solve together. This house has potential, if it succeeds, then there might be plenty of similar projects in the future, if it fails, then people will be even more hesitant to try anything like this. I hope it succeeds and that it will help growing eSports | ||

I didn't see this posted here, so feel free to delete this if I missed the original thread. http://soundcloud.com/user92154011/mow-boss-food http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/11dnjn/mow_boss_at_it_again/ Why they decided to let Desrow in amongst many other players who are established was beyond me in the first place and I used to be in player development. Didn't like their format and considering we're well aware of the run ins desrow has had with others in the past this be no surprise to anyone. Usually they check your personalities prior to putting you in such an environment as well. I've seen none of that. Just take who was known so meh. On another note: players should really know what they signed up for before going into situations like that. Anyway I thought they both handled the situation very poorly. | ||

-Food and Sleep If you dont get adequate amounts of food each day, Your blood sugar goes down. When your blood sugar goes down people tend to get extremely cranky and if you are playing games, you will get very emotional and play even worst. Depending on how low your blood sugar is you might find it difficult to practice and concentrate. Food is the most important thing in this house, If i was the boss of MOW, I'd prioritize the food situation above all. If its a cost problem and they do not want to raise the price of how much it takes to stay in the house, Then clearly some other less important aspect of the house deal needs to be cut to make room for a higher food budget. ( maybe cut the maid, and rely on players doing their own laundry for example) This shit where players are getting 1 meal a day is a joke. I would expect atleast 2 big meals + breakfast being cereal or eggs. | ||

If you enter into a business agreement, important things should not be left up to the discretion of the landlord. Something like this should have been outlined in the contract signed by the players. Hopefully we can learn from situations like this and become a more experienced community. MoW is under no obligation to provide fantastic meals b/c the contract didn't explicitly outline how good the meals should be. It sounds like nitpicking, but the structure is there to prevent situations like this before they have a possibility of arising. | ||

Polish friend of mine told me calling someone a jew over there isn't that big of a deal seeing as people do it on daily occurrence so stop getting offended for no reasons. And you know, the same was probably true in Germany in the 30's. Which is why we think it's not okay to use 'jew' as a derogatory term. It's just incredibly sad if it's still common in Poland to do so. And on another note Desrow isn't even Polish, so that's not even applicable. | ||

Desrow didn't use the word jew as a racist slur, he used it as it's stereotype image. When you call someone a jew, who isn't actually a jew, you call someone greedy, or like that person makes too much money. I don't think it was that bad of an offense. And that is exactly what racism is. That that image exists is racism. But anyway, the main point here is of course that it is awful that they're not getting fed properly and that it sucks for the development of the scene in general. | ||

This is Maciej Krupowies, doing presentation about MoW. All is good, but this really put me off. Will do my best to translate: "Why wont anyone else will repeat something like us? For one, we are trying to get a patent and enforce the prohibition of the use of certain names in the EU - namely a "training facility for video gamers". we want to be the only ones. we are also pioneers, and as i said there are other things like costs being higher inother countries." I wonder how does that help esports. I'd love, if in some other country there would be a similar project to MoW. Hopefully they will not succed with their plans to ban that stuff. | ||

They won't use "jewish" as equivalent to "greedy", they will talk about "anti-patriotism" or "the jewish members of our society". You can't draw conclusions from the usage of a word like that. Assuming that desrow would love to see another holocaust (that's what it would mean if he'd be antisemitic) because he said "you're a fucking jew, stop being so greedy" to a guy who gives him a sandvich and soup for his meal is pretty damn far-fetched. The younger generation of jews I know (below 40) aren't concerned with that type of stuff because it's used as a random joke and in jest most of the time. OBVIOUSLY if the same sentence comes from someone with a shaved head and swastika tatoos it's a different issue. Context, people. | ||

No. Do I think he said it because he was angry? Sure. But that's not the point. I'm arguing that using Jew as a derogatory term for greedy is racist. It's incredibly strange that people are assuming 'witch hunt' or whatever. I'm not sitting here fuming or hating Desrow. I'm not calling for people to email sponsors, to burn him at the stake or anything of the sort. I'm merely arguing that him calling someone else a Jew because they're greedy is antisemitic. If that's not antisemitism I don't know what is. Stereotypes are not what you think they are. If you see somebody that looks like a cowboy, you might call him a cowboy. That is a stereotype.

If it is said in a candid way to a friend, who you have known since childhood and inherently knows is not, then it isn't more than a errant comment meant to be funny or candidly. If you say it to someone you don't know and have no history of the person, then yes it is a slur, because from its inherent nature, you cannot know if it will be insulting and so to say it anyway means by definition you mean to insult, and are hoping to cause a reaction from said slur. | ||

This thread is more about Desrow saying "Jews" then about the food problem... You are correct sir, i only read through the reddit replys. That's even more mindboggleing that this discussion is not going on over there, but here. The food problem at hand is in my opinion not really discussion-worthy, because it only can be discussed by two parties - the owners/staff/management and the inhabitants. I don't see any reasonable contribution a community discussion can make here. Inhabitants should demand more food or move out, or order pizza and cut the pizza costs from the rent. I also don't really want to judge desrows choice of words, i am just fascinated by that (disgusting) pitchfork-phenomenon and why it wasn't triggered on desrow (yet). Edit: @Xorphene the destiny tweet was ironic, the picture was taken from this Cooking-Blog. | ||

Like if someone never speaks up or say anything about the issues people are feeling.. then nothing is ever going to change but yeah ur right it really is unnecessary for this to carry on. Guys just let the players that lives in the house talk with the head master of MoW and work this out. | ||

Noticimus: + Show Spoiler + The way we were treated at ministry of win was pretty lack luster from the managers side, when I was staying in the house they had parties and neglected those who actually were there to improve. After snute and cytoplasm left they probably decided the players that were there wasnt important enough to care about, I remember going out to McDonalds almost every night just because i was so hungry due to the small amount of food we got served. The boss (maciej or something like that) is kinda a douche, he doesnt really care about the players or creating a good image for esports in general, hes all about the money and has proved that countless of times. I had to leave after a two week period due to the low quality of living standards that they had there(or maybe im just picky) but i had to get out. As to those who live there right now, i feel bad for you guys, you definately deserve a better place to be, the house would be so much better if they replace the boss, this is not an option though since you cant really kick him from the house as he is the one running the place. Im just really glad i have nothing to do with the place anymore ^ -Noticimus Edit! He woke us up a few times in the middle of the night when he came back from drinking or parties or something, yelling something in polish. (he was drunk) Edit #2 After one of the parties they actually asked the players if they could borrow money to fund electricity bill for a month, they probably used their budget on sausages and alcohol(there was a lot of alcohol) KarmYi: + Show Spoiler + I wasn't going to post anything negative, but "boss" is getting a bit ridiculous. In the previous thread that Fuzer made I went in trying to answer peoples questions and think with a level head about the situation. I never actually posted anything about my experience at the house. To start things off I'd like to go back a bit. I was one of the first players accepted to participate in the MoW house back in January. I was told that we would have contracts signed and we would be able to book our flights for March 4th - 5th. They seemed very convinced they would be ready for us to do so, so I put in my 2 weeks at work and prepared for the move. Before I booked my ticket I messaged "boss" again to confirm and he had told me that there were problems with the house and they were backing it up 2 weeks. With such indesicion I didn't want to get myself another job and just quit again in 2 weeks. These "delays" happened for 3 more months.. We didn't officially move in until May 19th. I had to live that entire time on the savings that I was putting away for MoW. They couldn't actually tell anyone the truth, They kept making up silly lies.. They even told us that Grubby was going to be living with us to keep our interest, I asked Grubby himself and he said they hadn't even talked to him about it. Moving forward, I've moved into the house and I get myself settled in. From the very beginning it was a cluster fuck. I arrived without a computer set up, They didn't have SC2 loaded on any new machine, None were set up in English, The computers we were promised were "delayed" (I'll talk about this more later on) so they had to rent all the computers. They couldn't run SC2 on ultra like we were promised, If we streamed at all we would have to run everything as low as possible with terrible lag. They still expected us to get our minimum streaming hours during this time as well. The internet had very bad connection problems, It seemed to always go down right before EU playhem would start, Sometimes forcing everyone in the house to forfeit or being very late and frustrated going into their first games. So to sum things up, Our equipment wasn't anything close to what we were promised prior to moving in. The food issue has been known, and talked about since before I even moved into the house. We constantly tried to come up with solutions to the problem, Which of course all required uping the budget per player which they didn't seem to want to do. At times, Players would barely eat if they were late to dinner. If they started a game when dinner was served, If the plates weren't already set (they sometimes set up a small buffet) they wouldn't get into the dinning room in time and there wouldn't be much left. We lived off bread and cereal.. For how much we were paying to live there per month every player shouldn't have to worry about EVER being hungry, Which it seemed we always were. Going to bed hungry suuucckkkeeedd.. Boss himself is money hungry, Everything they do was about money and not giving a fuck about the players. When I had to leave I was only 15 days in, My uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer with a slim chance to make it past treatments. I had to leave to be with him. Before I left I was told I had to pay 1250 PLN, Half of the 2500 monthly fee since I was only there half a month. I agreed with this and told them I would get the bank info when I landed and send it in the morning. When I got home and got onto skype, they told me that I actually owed them 2500 PLN and I had to pay it in full because I already signed the contract. I told them that was bullshit and I'll give them the 1250 PLN and that's it. They simply wouldn't accept it. I deleted them off skype and haven't heard from them until today. They're now trying to charge me and additional 1500 PLN ontop of the 2500 PLN because I did not pay. I once again told him that I wouldn't be paying more than 1250 PLN and if they continue to try and bully it out of me they won't be getting anything. I got a little off track, but I'm not done! =P Back to the computers real quick. We were told that the polish company shipping them made a mistake and that is the reason they're taking so long, when in fact the maid had let us know that wasn't the case. Boss had forgotten to send the proper paperwork to the investor to get the computers paid for, Which resulted in the computers being 46 days late.. They entire time we were expected to play on computers that would randomly restart, The sound would randomly cut out requiring a restart, We couldn't stream and practice properly but were required to meet a monthly quota. Once during lunch Cyto made a comment about the computers taking so long was a joke and boss threatened to kick him out of the house and anyone else who had a problem with it could leave as well. Sorry for the bad grammar and randomness of my paragraphs, It's late and I haven't slept much but wanted to get it out before I went to bed. Boss is a money hungry douchebag that shouldn't be in charge of such a project. He's such an asshole his partner (who was level headed, and actually cared about making sure the players were taken cared of ) couldn't stand him and left. | ||

He was just stating that he felt the food situation could have used some improvement, but overall he had a decent time spent at MoW. | ||

Their skin color, hair etc differ but they still have that Jewish look... Sorry, you just don't know any irreligious jews yet. And look up Einstein, if he was Jewish in the way you claim his statements about god would make no sense. If you claim he wasn't Jewish a lot of people disagree, many who are historians. Edit again: there are also Jewish people who are religious jews but not racial Jews- some Mexicans came one time and claimed to be Jewish, I was telling them "no way", but then I opened my mind and learned something new.

He was just stating that he felt the food situation could have used some improvement, but overall he had a decent time spent at MoW. Watching those games ret did play well his wins were very well played and while he may need some work with getting caught with his pants down like he was against lucifron and thorzain he was far from bad. His loss the nightend was so much more nightend playing like a beast than his mistakes. | ||

Not racism. anti-semitism: "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group." That's the dictionary part. Here is what the encyclopedic explanation in your link says: Hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious group or “race.” In the 19th century violent discrimination intensified (see pogrom), and so-called “scientific racism” emerged, which based hostility to the Jews on their supposed biological characteristics and replaced religion as the primary basis for anti-Semitism. In the 20th century the economic and political dislocations caused by World War I intensified anti-Semitism, and racist anti-Semitism flourished in Nazi Germany. Jews = race was the main argument of the Nazi propaganda because it's easier to sell. That does not mean that they as a group are a race from a biological point of view. The segregation of Jews as an ethnical group slowly stopped starting in the 14th/15th century, ever since the whole "Jews only marry among themselves" can't exactly be claimed anymore. It literally is equivalent to e.g. whether you want to call Turkish immigrants in Germany (who are official members of the state) Turks or Germans. Most people would agree that starting with the 2nd or 3rd generation the people are more part of their "new" country. I can point out a black or an asian person in a group of people, I can't point out the Jews. That's the difference. | ||

A genome-wide genetic signature of Jewish ancestry perfectly separates individuals with and without full Jewish ancestry in a large random sample of European Americans ![]() Here we show that within Americans of European ancestry there is a perfect genetic corollary of Jewish ancestry which, in principle, would permit near perfect genetic inference of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. In fact, even subjects with a single Jewish grandparent can be statistically distinguished from those without Jewish ancestry. We also found that subjects with Jewish ancestry were slightly more heterozygous than the subjects with no Jewish ancestry, suggesting that the genetic distinction between Jews and non-Jews may be more attributable to a Near-Eastern origin for Jewish populations than to population bottlenecks. http://genomebiology.com/2009/10/1/R7 On October 14 2012 05:15 r.Evo wrote: It literally is equivalent to e.g. whether you want to call Turkish immigrants in Germany (who are official members of the state) Turks or Germans.

Also guys running the MoW, don't play dumb, now you absolutely know that your warm meal isn't warm and it's baaaaad. You are not disgracing yourself, you disgrace Poland, it looks like you don't even know what food is in Poland. In my country you probably couldn't continue practicing because just how much good food they put in front off you as a sign of hospitality and good intentions, what the fuck are you doing? Yes, i have seen the dead meat balls Destiny twitted about, ^_^. | ||

I'm not calling for people to email sponsors, to burn him at the stake or anything of the sort. I'm merely arguing that him calling someone else a Jew because they're greedy is antisemitic. If that's not antisemitism I don't know what is. Stereotypes are not what you think they are. If you see somebody that looks like a cowboy, you might call him a cowboy. That is a stereotype. Is it racist? No. If you see somebody that looks like a faggot, you might call him a faggot. That is a stereotype. Is it bigotry? Yes. My point is that maybe all racist or bigoted remarks might be stereotyping, but not all stereotypes are racist or bigoted. I would argue that the stereotype that jews are all greedy is pretty racist. You know, Judaism is a religion, not a race.. How can you be so ridiculous? Judaism is a religion. Being a Jew (as in descendant from Jerusalem) is a race. So yes, it IS racist. Besides the fact that I doubt MoW)Boss is either a religious or a "racial" jew (which would make the statement antisemitic) the word "Jew" derives from the region Judea. That region doesn't exist anymore since about 2000 years, the modern equivalent is West Bank. Calling Jews a race is as stupid as equivalent to calling every American European because hey, all their ancestors had to be European at one point. In fact, once again, the view that they're a race showcases anti-semitism by trying to put them into their own little group that has nothing to do with anyone else. That's how this whole mess started in the first place. When I see a German Jew and a French Jew talking I will most likely refer to them as a German and French dude talking. Not as two Jews talking. tl;dr: There is a reason we have a specific word for "being against" Jews, it's called antisemitism. Not racism. anti-semitism: "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group." That's the dictionary part. Here is what the encyclopedic explanation in your link says: Show nested quote + In the 19th century violent discrimination intensified (see pogrom), and so-called “scientific racism” emerged, which based hostility to the Jews on their supposed biological characteristics and replaced religion as the primary basis for anti-Semitism. In the 20th century the economic and political dislocations caused by World War I intensified anti-Semitism, and racist anti-Semitism flourished in Nazi Germany. Jews = race was the main argument of the Nazi propaganda because it's easier to sell. That does not mean that they as a group are a race from a biological point of view. The segregation of Jews as an ethnical group slowly stopped starting in the 14th/15th century, ever since the whole "Jews only marry among themselves" can't exactly be claimed anymore. It literally is equivalent to e.g. whether you want to call Turkish immigrants in Germany (who are official members of the state) Turks or Germans. Most people would agree that starting with the 2nd or 3rd generation the people are more part of their "new" country. I can point out a black or an asian person in a group of people, I can't point out the Jews. That's the difference. You honestly don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to get off topic but it seriously kills me inside every time I see someone on TL trying to make these completely uninformed arguments. Go learn a few things about genetics and then form an educated opinion. There are genetic diseases associated ONLY with certain lineages of Jewry - meaning they are a distinct race. On topic - I've become a huge MorroW fan, lost a lot of respect for Desrow and my opinion of MoW hasn't changed. I never bought into their apology about the Fuzer incident in the first place.. | ||

all he talks about is 'im not a child' , 'if desrow is acted like a child, what is wrong with me replying in the same way?' morrow is just like '.........' '(ur an idiot), i mean.... u are the supposed professional, therefore u should act professional regardless if anyone is acting like a child' is this really how people operate? | ||

All is good, but this really put me off. Will do my best to translate: "Why wont anyone else will repeat something like us? For one, we are trying to get a patent and enforce the prohibition of the use of certain names in the EU - namely a "training facility for video gamers". we want to be the only ones. we are also pioneers, and as i said there are other things like costs being higher inother countries." I wonder how does that help esports. I'd love, if in some other country there would be a similar project to MoW. Hopefully they will not succed with their plans to ban that stuff. I don't know anything about patent legislation in EU or anything, but as a layman can't see how that possibly could go through? | ||

It should be the opposite way: Give great good to players so they can concetrate better. If one wants to not be fat, all one has to do is eat less. | ||

Everyone does that when they are super angry. Talk about the god damn topic for fucks sake. Jesus Christ, TL is starting to become Reddit. I think the fact that Jew is just assumed to be an insult is the racist part... Jesus fucking christ. Yea when I'm pissed I just go off calling people niggers. It's ok though, I was just mad.. | ||

stop getting your fucking panties in a bunch for someone using the word jew. god damn it I hate hypocrites so much. You going to tell me you've never used a swear word in your life? Go lie to someone else. Now focus on the real issue which is the fact they're not getting decent food apparently after MoW stated they were going to take care of the issue. | ||

Show nested quote + A genome-wide genetic signature of Jewish ancestry perfectly separates individuals with and without full Jewish ancestry in a large random sample of European Americans ![]() Here we show that within Americans of European ancestry there is a perfect genetic corollary of Jewish ancestry which, in principle, would permit near perfect genetic inference of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. In fact, even subjects with a single Jewish grandparent can be statistically distinguished from those without Jewish ancestry. We also found that subjects with Jewish ancestry were slightly more heterozygous than the subjects with no Jewish ancestry, suggesting that the genetic distinction between Jews and non-Jews may be more attributable to a Near-Eastern origin for Jewish populations than to population bottlenecks. http://genomebiology.com/2009/10/1/R7 | ||

Blue Lanterna, you may want to reconsider getting your Genetics grad degree at community college... You may want to reconsider looking up the definition of race, because it's obvious you don't have the reading comprehension necessary to figure out that you cannot "convert" to a race, and any studies that are being quoted are of an ethnic group, not of all Jews. Edit: I also love how you speak to other posters as if this is common "high-school" knowledge, when nothing has been proved conclusively about your definition of jews as a race from what you've posted. | ||

Sorry how is a religion a race? Id love to hear it There are certain genetic diseases only associated with certain lineages of Jewry. If you had any knowledge of genetics, you'd realize that constitutes a genotype distinction that can categorize a race. Seriously, this is like the third time I've had to make this cursory explanation in this thread. It's high school genetics, not fucking hard. Race can be defined in various ways, you seem to be referring to it in relation to a geographical phenotype which is a somewhat valid definition if not debatable.. | ||

"As anthropologists and other evolutionary scientists have shifted away from the language of race to the term population to talk about genetic differences, historians, cultural anthropologists and other social scientists re-conceptualized the term "race" as a cultural category or social construct—a particular way that some people talk about themselves and others." (wikipedia lol) Now stop talking about jews being a race since it's clearly becoming outdated and scientists prefer populations. | ||

Every different man comes with his different predispositions to different traits...What's the big deal in pointing that out ....It's not like these folks are talking about purity of race or being good or better to be this or that rather than the other. PS: I'm totally against racism, but what he have today is rather than actually a sense of coming together regardless of race or color ( and by the way my best friend was black, he died sadly in a car accident 1 year ago )a sense of cultural pressure to try not to offend other people's cultural values. Most of these PC guys are either very stupid or secretly huge racists ( unless they work for a company with a retarded policy ... which is necessary sadly ). Edit: Narjila gratz on that compassionate message, forgot you're supposed to fight racism with hatred. Let's kill the racists!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Sure, you can troll a guy about his gf, then he tells you he doesn't like it, JUST SHUT UP. And after all that, maximus is a cool dude and he handles being pissed off very well, but you dont message him after being greedy looking for more money. | ||

Desrow used the word "jew" as a cuss word, as an offensive word, as a racial slur. but i guess its up to you to decide what is offensive. He used it like this: Jew = greedy or stingy person Jew is not a racial slur, its a pejorative term. The word Kike is a slur. Look it up on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_slurs have you tried reading the link you have posted? lol he called some one a jew to depict them as greedy. how is that different from calling someone a "dirty jew"? any way - he used the word "jew" to be offensive. i guess "you drive like an asian" isnt racist as well. what ever makes you feel better at night man. since when has the word "jew" been considered racism? I don't remember "jews" even being a race. I though jew always came from jeudaism which is a religion... O.o | ||

And you'd be lucky if they didn't get in your face. I would. Why tolerate someone profiling you by race/religion? At least in my culture, when you say "I got jewed" or "You are a jew" means the exact same thing as " I got close to nothing" or " You ripped me off " Still, using that diction is totally unacceptable. ofc its unacceptable, calling some one a "jew" to mean what you say it means (or any other actually) is racism edit: On October 13 2012 23:28 creamyturtle wrote: On October 13 2012 23:23 nucleo wrote: On October 13 2012 23:10 creamyturtle wrote: On October 13 2012 23:04 TRaFFiC wrote: Disappointed in Desrow.

I don't remember "jews" even being a race. I though jew always came from jeudaism which is a religion... O.o Are you serious? If I call someone a Jew with the intention of being derogatory, then I have used the word in a racist fashion. Jew IS a racist word because outside of the synagogue it is only ever used as a slur. As for desrow: ![]() You guys really want to tell me that you are defending this animal? Because he isn't getting food to stuff his face after playing games all day he feels he has the right to throw around racial slurs? He is a terrible player, has an awful personality and will never amount to anything at pro level. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Point is, he is a horrible person and deserves no respect or consideration. After reading the posts and comments related to him in the other threads that is the only accurate conclusion I can make of him. And how has this suddenly turned into me being racist against whites? Is it because you see Nigeria as my country? Now I am really not surprised at all the bad posting in this thread. | ||

Its been considered racist since before blood libel, and its a prime way of calling someone stingy, and to use that word in Poland shows the heaviest disregard for history I've seen in a pro to date. | ||

Way back when in April/May I was talking to him on skype about potentially going to practice there he kept asking me about when he could get the money. I told him that I would have ~6 months rent by september, but he told me that was not fast/good enough. So I kinda went with my gut feeling and decided the MoW house/Boss was a sketchy to begin with. I mean alot of people moved in through August-Sept, why would it matter right? I dunno something that I noticed. And to people being all up-in-arms about desrow saying what he said. You can only point the finger if you have not done it yourself EVER. if you have you(we are) not any better than him and you have no right saying what is right and wrong. Im sure he has noticed what he said was wrong, and lets be honest. we are all different people, we just wear masks when the cameras are on. So LETS GET back to the main topic MoW house situation. Not some meaningless religion mumbo jumbo | ||

EDIT, he got a week ban, thank you TL hope i dont get banned for attacking him, i just didnt like the way he was attacking him so personally, and im not even a desrow fan. there are plenty of people who stuggle with weight issues and im sick of people who think its ok to point it out numerous times in such ways. | ||

Also, we were both wrong; It's Judaism, not Jeudaism or Jewdaism. BTW: Im trying to understand the situation but I dont really get it. It's like desrow is complaining about the food situation and a few other people as well, but then others either aren't having problems or are not being vocal about it. Ill wait to see what others have to say before I try to have any input in the situation. | ||

Um, yes, it is anti-semitic to say someone is acting like a jew, because that phrase has a strong negative connotation that suggests being a jew or behaving like a jew would is a bad thing. And yes, it is anti-gay (I don't like the term homophobic because I don't think there's an actual phobia being expressed here, just hate) to say someone is acting like a fag, unless you are actually referring to a cigarette butt. It's passive, but it is bigotry. There is a difference between active and passive bigotry, but it's still bigotry. | ||

Had the person he was speaking to actually been a jew or if desrow actually has something against jews, maybe different. But as it stands, there is no grounds to call him an anti-semite based on the situation we are presented. Calling somebody a jew is a VERB. This is a top 10 low-point post on TL for me. And that's saying something. Thanks for clearing up the motivation and acceptability of calling someone an offensive, reprehensible word. The part of speech call out was especially classy. RabidDeer is a destiny fanboy. They defend anyone for any hate speech. I have never liked destiny. He says some funny stuff sometimes, but hes generally too out there for me. I never understood his popularity either. I just cant fathom that there are so many people that are holier than anybody else that can talk trash about somebody getting pissed off. He isnt randomly calling him that, its a fit of rage. At least he didnt go Stephano and get drunk or what many others would do and cuss him out severely or anything. I think calling somebody a jew when they are pissed off isnt that bad. Obviously it is offensive, but it really did have an intention of being a bit offensive in regards to the thriftiness of the people involved. Leave the guy alone. PS: People using Jesus or God in their comments are hypocrites if they are calling out desrow. Plain and simple. | ||

The only reason I didn't say anything last time about MoW was because they had enough on their plate with everyone raging at them, and at the time we had separated ways. He came back yesterday threatening to charge me more money for the time I stayed there so I decided to voice what happened to me as well . | ||

The big issue is the food. Do we have any clear information on what the food situation is like? We have at least three sources saying the food is insufficient (Fuzer, Morrow, Desrow), but I don't believe I've gotten a clear picture from either side of what the meals ARE. Complaints mean that everything isn't okay, but I'd like to see exactly how not-okay it is. Could MoW please release proper information? | ||

We simply can't know whether this is because Desrow is racist, or because it was the most offensive thing he could think of saying when he was angry (not because being a Jew is bad, but because people react strongly to racially loaded insults), nor do we deserve to know if he isn't actively trying to spread anti-Semitic propaganda. All we can do is tell him to work on controlling his temper, as I can't in good faith see him saying things like this when he isn't angry. The big issue is the food.

In your culture it is a huge huge problem and outrage if you call somebody a "nigger". In any context (except in Rap Music maybe) it is totally unacceptable and people will be branded as "racist" immediatly if they say it even once. That is because of the U.S. history with the opression of blacks and the civil rights movement 50-60 years ago. People are still VERY sensitive about it. Now listen up: In Europe, and especially in germany and poland we have a very very bad history with jews only 70 years ago. European people are at least as much senstive about the topic as you folks from the U.S. are with the whole nigger-thing! While you may call someone who is greedy a "jew" nonchalantly in the U.S., it is an absolutely no-go here in Europe. You have to understand that. Thats why people make such a big deal out of it in this thread. To emphazise my point: In Germany we have the "Zentralrat der Juden", which translates to "Central Council of Jews". It is a whole huge organization, which almost does nothing else than exclusively watch the politics, media and the society to expose antisemtic-tendencies. And oh boy, let me tell you they actually complain alot.. So next time before you post something like: "Ah comon, 'jew' is just a funny word blabla", keep in mind that other cultures may have different boundaries... | ||

My ex gf is 3/4 Jewish. I am pro Semitic rather than otherwise. I want to clear that up. That is what I mean by "Jewish look"! I can still recognize a good number of them, I can also sometimes tell if someone's ancestors came from Germany or Britain! (Ireland and Britain is harder oddly enough, though it shouldn't be... I sometimes hear? Since I don't see it I don't know.) also in Germany the border people in customs were surprised that my brother was American, they thought he was German. Wonder how they got there? Well, they had a lot of practice. I had a lot of practice around a lot of Jews, half Jews, part jews. So I can tell in a lot of cases now (not all, so the guy accusing me of anti semitism isn't all wrong, as geographical things probably affect this.) Sorry for bringing up old derail, I was just really shocked to be accused of anti semitism as a pro Jewish person... I fell for the same sort of blunder though, and was banned in the past. (Was trying to make a different point facetiously about gun control using an ad by a Jewish pro-gun association that even said on the cover that they were the most extreme organization in America. When I read the Jewish part, post ban, I was so ashamed I pm'ed kennigit asking for reban after he let me fix it). I do say ppl who disagree about Jewish ethnicity should check Abraham issac Jacob, these ppl are agreed to have lived by most of the world including the Jews themselves... I think some Jews would be deeply hurt if you said they were not an ethnic group while others would join my accuser. My ex was part of the former crowd, ardently. Food is essential but Desrow did Morrow's example help? | ||

To be fair i think germany might be a bit of a drastic case...for reasons that dont need to be stated. But on the whole, i agree, its a racial or religious slur (whatever way you want to put it) and shouldnt really be accepted. Can i call all you christians bible bashers? I dont think so. Or use the "N" word (nachos, naturally.) Dont think so. Im not religious at all btw BUT, its really not the point of this thread, we all know what desrow is anyway, some are blind to it, but most of us know. This thread is about MoW and its terrible management and conditions for players. | ||

There are even movies that are using this stereotype, showcasing them as rich greedy guys. Dont misunderstand his use of the word for something that it isnt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Jews There is a whole rubric about greed right there. "Jewish frugality, thriftiness, and greed are among the typical themes in jokes about Jews, even by Jews themselves." He didnt use it as a racial slur or whatever, he used it as a way to describe how greedy that guy is, and he obviously is fucking greedy if he doesnt serve a proper meal. Anyone should be able to tell from the context that he is using it as a way to describe that mow-guy´s greed. | ||

Im not even going to touch on the whole racist aspect, but more the people having a go at desrow for being fat or because hes complaining about food. For you complete ignorant people, desrow is, and has been for some time now, on a very strict diet and is doing incredibly well. No one is going to say hes not fat, not even desrow himself, but he has been working really hard when he was in canada to lose weight - im sure theres a before and after picture someone too and its a huge difference. And yea he might be living there for 'free' but you would expect decent food to be served. Overweight or not, most people would not be satisfied with the food there. And its such a simple thing to fix. Its not like if the internet was bad, or there wasnt enough living space or something, but food is something that can be fixed almost instantly. Anyone would be pissed, and to say otherwise is just mindless hate for desrow | ||

do any jewish people care using the word jew for calling someone stingy? its kinda like calling something is gay, when you arent refering to gay people? Calling someone a jew is like telling someone you fucked his mother, at least that's how israelis (like me) take it. And for a good reason. So don't do that. | ||

Get your priorities straight. If you want to become a better sc2 player you have nothing to complain about. If you want to eat clean and healthy you might want to consider moving out of the house. First of all you are there for "free". You have been there for months now, so you know where you stand and what you can expect food-wise from the hosts. If you want to eat healthy there do something about it yourself. Food supplements have existed for a long time now. They are not meant to be meal replacements but they are ideal in your situation as addition to the food you are getting now. Buy some quality complex Carbs, Proteins, Multivitamins, Flax-seed oil/ Fish oil, etc. You have a place to sleep, you have place to train, you have a gym where you can work out. If you want a decent meal beyond what you are getting at the house and from supplements, I'm sure you can find a restaurant. That being said imo MoW focuses way to much on making profits immediately (riding the esports money wave) instead of establishing a brand. Get a decent professional cook for crying out loud. | ||

Are you saying it's disrespectful for Jewish people to be called Jews? Depends on your tone and demeanor as well as connotation. If you 'call' someone a jew as though it were an insult, yeah, it's an insult. He made me think that it's different than how we use it in the U.S. in a non derogatory way and now I'm curious. But I do realize how you say it and in what context is everything in the U.S. Just wondering if if it's different over there. | ||

Yes, there are people that naturally struggle with their weight, like me, but they also don't get F A T from that when they don't have a serious issue going. People, in general, get fat from eating to much while not moving around enough (I'm not even talking sports, just "moving"). I don't know what the food in the mow house exactly is, but the demands some people have here seem to be pretty high (warm breakfast, really? And possibly two other warm meals?). I would consider this a normal (continental) european diet for a person with an office job (which progaming is): Breakfast = Bread/Marmelade/Butter or Cereals. Many just skip this. + 1 warm plate a day (Pasta, Meat, Rice, Veggies, Potatoes, Fish whatever a normal warm dish is for you... or McD/Pizza/Fast Food). + 1 cold plate (bread/meat/cheese) or a sandwich or a salad. Hungry in between? Eat an Apple/Fruit and/or maybe something (small) sweet. If they did not specifiy 2 warm meals this would be more than sufficent imho... | ||

What the other people said in that audio was dead on, it's the MoW staff's job to be professional. Would it be nice if the players were? of course, and in an ideal world the players should be respectful. However, should a situation arise the last person who should lose their shit over something though is a house manager. Just my 2 cents, but I don't think MoW fully thought through everything and they are now learning the hard way. | ||

If the food at MoW really was that unacceptable the players could just take a few hours to do grocery shopping. You're acting as if McDonalds was his only option besides starvation. I never said, or claimed this anywhere in my post. What I was attempting to help you understand is that certain diets, no matter how they apply to one person may not apply the same way to another +some other words. Hence why I referenced metabolism. "Unacceptable" and "to his standards" are differentiating phrases I wanted to clarify. Basically, he isn't being treated how he thinks is ethical, or fair. I think that's a perfectly fine argument to make, with the exception of how he made it. And on a side note, almost every player that isn't EG/Liquid/fully sponsored team probably has to cut corners somewhere with money, assuming they don't work a job somewhere else. Money isn't something lucrative in SC2 - for individual players - sadly enough. o: oh and edit: to the other dude who quoted me~ you'd be surprised how much better your body in general, of course this includes your brain, functions when you're on a balanced diet and working out/fit(I think they got the fitness center down pat though xD). If desrow thinks he is not getting the balanced nutrition he needs then that's his argument to make :D | ||

But i think the point people are trying to make is that the people living in the MoW house are paying extra money so food is included.. Whether or not Desrow wants to eat healthy is his thing but there should be enough food in the house for everyone so he doesn't have to go get a second dinner because dinner was half a sandwich or something. Doesn't it seem counter intuitive to pay extra money for included food and then be forced to buy groceries because not enough food is supplied... It makes sense if your already paying money for food but not getting enough to then turn to the cheapest place possible as you already have an existing expense for food. | ||

surely someone who has better experience than Maciej can reach out and offer him some guidance? a TL or EG manager could give them some advice, guidelines, etc? not sure if this has happened already, if it has then we can just hope for things to improve there! | ||

Just by not eating as many carbs, cutting all junk foods, and eating good. I feel less hungry, tired, and lazy. From what I see, Korean houses take care of their players very well. I remember watching a ton of videos where the coaches would shop for groceries for lots of good lean meat, and they generally have a cook. Foreign teams need to take in whats already established and see how they size up to the Koreans. I notice EG also takes care of their players, but they got that EG money. | ||

EG players don't appear to be eating healthy, but that's only me judging by what they show to the public (Mashine devouring hamburgers and stuff ^^ ) | ||

He hasn't learned his lesson and he is different than poeple like destiny who have a cult following of people who disregard the racial slurs because of cognitive dissonance. At this point I can't see des having a following of anyone that doesn't condone racial slurs since he has used them repeatedly. He has constantly said, I'll learn, but at this point he really hasn't. WTF... I've never used racial slurs before.. | ||

There's a lot of debate over it though, but using racism towards differently skinned people, towards different country's population or towards different religion's believers, all feels like the same thing. | ||

If someone would tell someone else "don't be so Dutch" when he's being cheap... all I could do is laugh. But if that's racist, then so is using the expression "going Dutch"... which is simply a part of the English language. Is English racist? And yea, MoW seems to have a hard time getting things sorted. Maybe they should shut down and organise things properly before continuing business. | ||

Being jewish isn't a race, its a religion, hence why there are "african jews" or "chinese jews" its not a "race" but rather a choice like Christianity and such.You're thinking of hebrew. | ||

NOBODY should get offended by any of those, because they are stereotypes. And stereotypes have, as anybody should know.. NO meaning. So don't get butthurt about stuff without meaning. | ||

All the jews that are getting offended? you kidding me? As an Israeli citizen I can only tell you that you all have a severe case of reverse racism problem and should perhaps look for professional help. Back in the 90s when I went through schooling in jewland, I remember times my whole class would chant racist remarks while teacher was present and it was never a problem. or another example when my friend found out I was not jewish she was alot more shocked then when I found out that her brother was gay. got lol? can see a thread close incoming. | ||
