Testing Adding Damage Reduction to PvP
Testing Adding Damage Reduction to PvP
Plunderstorm is here. Why no player housing or solo mode?
MMO-Champion
If like me, you live in a multi-cultural city or have travelled or been to a school/uni with many ethnic groups and nationalities, you may have noticed some common traits more prevalent in one over the other.
If you could pick one to describe people from a particular country, ethnic group or region, what would it be?
For me example:
European - Arrogant!
American - Loud
Far east asian - humble
African - crude
Russian - crazy
Arab/Middle Eastern - Angry
This is based on people groups, not government officials or politicians - and it could be any nation or region. now every people group has indviduals displaying the full spectrum of attributes and characteristics we can generally observe in humans, just that some cultures have seemed to faster some traits more than others, what's been your observation?

To quote Depeche Mode: People are people.
I can see this thread going down bad directions of offensive stereotypes.

Is this the worst idea for a thread ever? Possibly.

I wasn't aware that people from the same country, ethnic group or region shared the same cultural backgrounds and values.

Wtf?
These variations and stereotypes are floating around in the minds of people on such a basic level that it can relate to a neighbouring street, or small town, or zip code... And guess what? In the end, people are simply people.
Europeans are no more a monolith than any other. Neither are Americans, Arabs, Asians... You might just have made the dumbest thread in the history of threads here.
