I hope that thread gets locked soon, it is a magnet for idiots. New genius, shmget I can't help but go to those threads and try to tell idiots why they're wrong. It basically never works, but its so hard to resist. I just finished playing Expeditions: Conquistador for 4 straight hours and suddenly 5 pages sprung up out of nowhere. The shmget guy is trying to argue that he can use mongoloid however he damn well pleases or something. "Sure it referred to a group of people sharing similar phenotypic traits but I don't mean that when I use it as an insult on the internet!" Basically the same argument Gr33n made before he got banned for his escalating aggressiveness and crazy arguments. I see a pattern here. I fear he is not long for this place.

EXACTLY ABOVE POSTER!! people just say the most offensive thing they can say, if its a women they reach for the best female joke its not because they care shes a girl its generally because they wana be a dick
User was temp banned for this post. Seriously though that post isn't even the worst. mongoloid somehow ended up as obscure Internet slang for someone with Down syndrome which is why I brought up he shouldn't use it so casually. Didn't realize they'd fight to the death for their right to use it  It's not that obscure, at least over here that is pretty much the only context in which I see it used. I'm not really sure how this happened mind! Ghengis Khan's descendents = People with Down's is a bit too much of a leap for me to keep up with
I don't understand it either, how anyone in their right mind could argue that it's ok to use the word in an insulting way. It's just baffling what people will excuse just to be 'right'.

I'm not for sure, but I think it has something to do with inbreeding of generations or something like that.

I thought it meant simply a stupid person, but I haven't had much experience with the word.

Having studied in Asian schools whose primary mediums of education is English, I never encountered the word outside of anthropological discussions, and even then I was made aware that the term was already outdated and disputed.
According to wikipedia the reason the word was used to describe people with Down's syndrome is due to the presence of the epicanthic fold in the eyes. It's not even a very noticeable trait, and I'm certain that if you ask anyone who associates the term 'mongoloid' with Down's syndrome sufferers, none of them will be able to explain what it is. I guess it's just an unfortunate association based on a miniscule trait that somehow became popular. It has nothing to do with inbreeding, which I am certain was not isolated to that region. It's really stupid, and possibly even more insulting than other racial epithets because it insults two distinct and unrelated people.
You'll never hear the word used in Asia in any serious manner. (Same with the archaic term occidental).

Over. He hasn't said anything offensive, he's just likely a piece of shit. Also, I'm surprised that thread hasn't turned into a giant ban trap. Pretty much every third tier NA player is jumping in and airing out his neighbor's dirty laundry.

Doesn't TL tends to ban verified cheater / hacker / scammer regardless what they say?

True, but the story's kind of confusing. From the guy's posting, it sounds like Athena/the scammer/the made up person were all the same guy, but from the OP it sounds like the made up person was the scammer and Athena recommended him. I don't know, and based upon the shadiness of some of the team members emerging, I don't know what to believe.

Even if it was a scam it doesn't look like much of a scam. To be honest all the stories don't make sense when combined lol everyone is just mad at each other.
I think he goes over 1.5 days unless he says something crazy. Being an asshole irl not enough for a TL ban.
Also lol at " Pretty much every third tier NA player is jumping in and airing out his neighbor's dirty laundry."

I think it's pretty obvious that it was a scam from the get go, everyone agrees to that. I actually deleted a post before I hit the button when they originally announced the team because it sounded shady as could be. I imagined what I would do if I was the donor looking to start my own team, and to be honest, I probably would personally sponsor a player first (much less hassle) and be super, super up front about it. When they said "anonymous personal sponsor" in their original announcement, I almost wrote "seriously?" in their thread but thought it would be excessively disrespectful. But I do agree, things don't add up.

I don't even care if Athena's final goal was monetary gain. If I know a person is someone who can't be trusted, I will permaban that person from TL.

Damn it I was just about to put all my esports dollars on the under

Hahaha, oh man that's twice you have made me lose my shit at work today. Well played.

That smi scan thread hurts my brain; it's like not even a scam, but it's still sketchy as fuck. ughhh, I'm so confused.
Also; I agree with motbob's sentiment, if you can't be trusted, you don't belong in this community.
