Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2005.11.06 23:12:00 - [13] Yeah, you did. I figure you got contracted by some disgruntled France-hater with too much ISK on his hands who wants to make our lives miserable for as long as he can afford to pay for your services, which I imagine don't come cheap. Because, frankly, I don't see any other reason why someone would want to hurt us.

Being friends with Foundation would be more than enough reason to wardec you :) Which brings me to antoher question that just popped up, where is foundation? Maybe the answer to that question and the one asked in the first post is the same......GONE?
dimensionZ	Posted - 2005.11.07 09:21:00 - [20] Pathetic to see many replies with just french-hating random trolls. Dunno where they hang. ----------------------------------------

Dahin	Posted - 2005.11.07 12:09:00 - [24] Last time I saw french force alliance was two weeks before [5] went down. I think we met them in a group of 20 mining somewhere in atuk space. Not sure though, cause we were doing the tour of the south at that time I remember thinking "the french are [5] mining slaves :(", so I think it was in their space. I remember hitting tenerifis after 20j, so I guess it was pretty low on the map. On the other hand, I could be mistaken.

You must be living in another world if you claim 5 "went down", if anything we went UP, that being up north, we never went down, we lived almost as far down as we could come And no, I did not misunderstood that "going down" part
Rhodry Amarrian	Posted - 2005.11.07 12:35:00 - [26] I think I saw some around the CAMAL area (so that would fit in with them being around Curse i guess). Funny how even a thread which has NOTHING at all to do with the [5]/enemies of [5] ends up with posts from one set or the other before you get past the first page - there ought to be a separate section of the forums just for them until this whole thing ends

I remember hitting tenerifis after 20j, so I guess it was pretty low on the map. On the other hand, I could be mistaken. The truth is that ATUK's French Wing offered us a deal to mine in Detorid for a couple of weeks, which is exactly what we did. They kindly arranged it for us with their superiors. Thus we mined for a couple of weeks, paying only the reasonable refinery taxes. We are now no longer in Detorid, although we're not too far from there. Also, our standings with .5. have been set back to negative (as they were before the French Wing's offer) and have near-daily skirmishes with the small .5. presence in Curse. And therefore: no, we aren't mining slaves of the Five, or even their friends :) Never have been, never will be. --- Ortu Konsinni Diplomatic delegate French Force Alliance -- l'alliance des francophones Web site : http://destabiliser.com/ffa/

It's called humor Mr. Snesitive. Get over it. It's not like I said all French people are toupee wearing girly men for Christ sake. And please, explain how that comment was racist?

And for all trolls around, if u cant be enough mature to keep your outgame feelings out of the forums, i'll start to petition all replies of that nature. Afaik, they called themself French Force Alliance to be quickly recognized as a french speaking community. But I dont think they'll refuse any english pilot in their rank. By the way, we playing same game and your motherlanguage, afaik, doesnt give you an advantage on the bf's.

Au revoir, Chef humor = supposed to be funny. Your sense of humor is misplaced in what is supposed to be forums for a game. Your comment was based on nationality and as far as i'm concerned does not suit game forums at all. Now you're trying to look good by adding more and more crap to this. Just apologize, remove your comment and get over it: your sense of humor sucks. That kind of jokes/comments are stupid, whatever nationality they may target (I guess german players know what I'm talking about). Dear friendly customer... Can I have your money ?

Beringe	Posted - 2005.11.08 01:43:00 - [59] Originally by: Dark Shikari I don't have problems when anyone makes jokes about my country. Why should you? Because it inevitably turns into a flame-fest on the forums when somebody makes fun of some country other than his own (or even his own, on these forums)? I personally wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, funny or not. ------------------------------------------- Sometimes, I wake up but keep on dreaming.
Ortu Konsinni	Posted - 2005.11.08 02:25:00 - [60] I may be biased in this, but anyway: it's one thing to cr ack jokes about the French, the Americans, the British or whatever, and I have no problem with that (although personally I think it's best to avoid them altogether in public as it's bound to make problems one way or another). Jokes about the French typically revolve around several things: for example, our alleged lack of hygiene, or our arrogance. In essence, that's all perfectly fine to joke about despite the fact that it annoys me as a Frenchman (sorry, I'm just sensitive like that), because it's mostly harmless as Adams would say. However, another type of joke about the French revolves around us surrendering all the time and generally being bad soldiers, and that is not acceptable considering our historical background which the authors of the jokes conveniently (or genuinely) ignore. If you consider just the 20th century, WW1 was very hard and traumatizing for us (and everyone else involved) but we never gave up. As for WW2, we surrendered because there was no hope left. Most would've done the same given the circumstances, and I believe that claiming otherwise is the illusion of one whose country has never been invaded. Bad planning, major strategic errors, poor intelligence work and the Germans simply having a better plan did not leave us with much margin, and while the ideal of defending your home to the last man is commendable, I rather agree that it was better to cut our losses and protect civilians as best as possible seeing as how we would've been defeated anyway. Calling us cowards at the time, and even to this day, is an insult to the memory of the ones who died defending France and I'm afraid I cannot accept that kind of joke, for all the world cares (which I'm aware isn't much, but I'll still state my opinion regardless, like it or not). I'll skip mentioning the other, much less important conflicts which France was involved in during the 20th century and let you reflect on everything that took place before the 20th century, which is pretty similar to the military history of every other European nation, i.e. a mix of victories, ties and defeats, i.e. nothing special. All in all, by now I've grown used to that kind of comment and I simply ignore them, but it still does and always will annoy me. And while I understand that everyone needs to target jokes at someone -- why were WE picked as the alleged worst cowards of history, of all things? Hairy/smelly women, wigs, moustaches, berets, striped shirts, baguette, etc. can all be funny in their own right, but the memory of dead soldiers is not ok to joke about, whether they're French or not. --- Ortu Konsinni Diplomatic delegate French Force Alliance -- l'alliance des francophones Web site : http://destabiliser.com/ffa/

Calling us cowards at the time, and even to this day, is an insult to the memory of the ones who died defending France and I'm afraid I cannot accept that kind of joke, for all the world cares (which I'm aware isn't much, but I'll still state my opinion regardless, like it or not). I'll skip mentioning the other, much less important conflicts which France was involved in during the 20th century and let you reflect on everything that took place before the 20th century, which is pretty similar to the military history of every other European nation, i.e. a mix of victories, ties and defeats, i.e. nothing special. All in all, by now I've grown used to that kind of comment and I simply ignore them, but it still does and always will annoy me. And while I understand that everyone needs to target jokes at someone -- why were WE picked as the alleged worst cowards of history, of all things? Hairy/smelly women, wigs, moustaches, berets, striped shirts, baguette, etc. can all be funny in their own right, but the memory of dead soldiers is not ok to joke about, whether they're French or not. I think its because the French got the short end of the stick over and over throughout history, and thus ended up being the ones to lose and every single time. Of course that has now become a cliche, that "France surrenders" or French Military Victories. Called for? Probably not. - Proud member of the [23]. Don't get the reference in my sig? Click it.

Mak'shar Karrde	Posted - 2005.11.08 04:00:00 - [63] Just because people can set up a pretty little Google Bomb doesn't make it any more accurate. I imagine that most people that find 'french military victories' in google to be amusing or accurate don't think the same about the 'failure' Google Bomb. Although... Nope, no politics. Damn. [Edited out. Sometimes i can't help but get political, it's a curse] It may have started out as a harmless joke alongside stupid Irishmen, Englishmen with bad teeth, Germans with no sense of humour etc. But now it's no longer funny because too many people actually believe it to be true, without knowing f-all about history. That's the point where the joke needs to stop, like some other poster mentioned it begins to demean the actions of those troops that gave their lives in an attempt to defend their country. And mine. And yours. It's no longer funny. Cheese eating surrender monkeys, my arse.

Doc Punkiller	Posted - 2005.11.08 10:16:00 - [65] Thread has been hijacked by stoopids as usual... If i can add a small comment i would say that this is not specific to eve forums, but as a matter of fact, as soon as a French related news appears on a public forum, there is allways one or two stupid teen to ruin the thread.

Roxanne	Posted - 2005.11.08 15:10:00 - [68] Actually, anyone who knows even a little bit of history would never fall for the stupid prejudices about french military might. France has dominated western european warfare for a long time and was involved in many a conflict. Yes, they did lose some and win others, as did every freaking nation but these stupid "french surrender" jokes simply betray the poster as an ignoramus excellentus. Every single person who believes that has obviously no worthwhile historic education or ignores his knowledge on purpose. Given the amount of jokes with that theme on the internet, this throws a very, very bleak picture of the so-called information elite. I can only forward people who want to fill the gaps in their knowledge to Wikipedia. No, I am not french. I am from europe though.
Roxanne	Posted - 2005.11.08 15:12:00 - [69] Originally by: Dark Shikari I think its because the French got the short end of the stick over and over throughout history No, they did not. Funny that people still believe notions like this.

PLEASE lock this garbage before it spreads more hate!

Funny that people still believe notions like this. They got Britian to fight them for 100 years. When Germany fought during world war I, which countries suffered the most (other than Germany)? France and Russia. When Germany invaded Europe at the start of WW2, which was the first major European power affected? Well of course, France. Which major European power was occupied for 4 years during World War 2? France, of course. Who was led into a revolution, fought wars for 20 years, and then was finally defeated and put back under an oppressive monarchy after two decades of fighting for their freedom, AND just after watching America do it successfully? France, of course. I certainly do think they got the short end of the stick. But enough of the history/politics/whatever. - Proud member of the [23]. Don't get the reference in my sig? Click it.

LMAO if it werent for French support you would still be under the English Queen. Correct. That makes it all the worse. France helps America gain independence, then France fights for 20 years and ends up losing. Conclusion: They had the short end of the stick. America had it easy, and France did it all alone in a hostile continent and ended up losing. - Proud member of the [23]. Don't get the reference in my sig? Click it.
