Now I see why AI often spins near seige tower.

culture bonus is based on governer, not owner

There are more devs working on UI than seige.

All devs should mark their games as ea so that no one could critize them for not updating. Because according to TW fanboy, only people without a life would long for game patches.

I agree to this as well. I don't think there is anyone who has ever disagreed on this point.

In addition, I find it ridiculous that you publicized many absurd rumors about China in this forum. It's not worth boasting to cheat sympathy with these ridiculous rumors

It seems that your Chinese friend did. He is still trying to call them cheaters.

YKH said:

Thank you very much, but I can't open the link you posted. I'm still trying

Use a vpn, but isn't that illegal in China? Did u break CHinese law by visiting this fourm?

YKH said:

So you think racism and insulting people will make the game better?
And that's why they claim to be victims here? Because they can't make racist statements or insult people in the game?

Before we go into racism, please answer my question. Why your Chinese mod reported them as cheaters?

This is not about censorship, this is about people who are borderline sociopaths trying to push their alt right political beliefs in a game where they don't belong.

U just called people trying to sell their political beliefs as sociopaths. You are obviously insulting them and should be banned according to ur definition.

Thank you for showing us how unreliable code of conduct is. I just wrote an easy to explain why this is bs.

eddiemccandless said:

You yourself have posts in that thread that say that people should be able to say anything they want in chat, including racism, insults and toxic behavior.

This is not about censorship, this is about people who are borderline sociopaths trying to push their alt right political beliefs in a game where they don't belong.

I said that for 2 reasons. Firstly, players in an online game should are not school kids. Players should be allowed to do or say things that isn't always right. Mild insults/ toxic behaviour should not encouraged, but players should not be banned because of this. Imagine your government starts putting impolite citizens to jail.

But more importantly, it is hard to define what kind of speech is "racism, insults, toxic" and what isn't. Who could define the definition of racism? Saying corona virus comes from China could trigger many Chinese as they see this as racism.

If we easily ban players under the name of racism, toxic, it will lead to endless conflicts among the community (admin abuse, players disagree with admin decision etc). Internet is not a utopian. People should stay from the internet if they cannot deal with hostility.

Those speech should not be encouraged, but we should not ban them.

eddiemccandless said:

Right, and curiously enough that is what you chose to submit as evidence that there was censorship going on. If that's the best you have I shiver thinking about what is the worst you could show us.

Umm lets put it this way. Those evidence are reports filed by Chinese players to a Chinese fourm. Only admins from that fourm could read them. It is really hard to collect evidence about this issue as there are only so little public reports.

From what I know, some of those "evidence" provided in the open letter are actually provided by Chinese players when are trying to cover up their power abuses. And the writer decided to include them to his evidence file.

Lastly, Devs said Chinese filed fake reports and acuses players as cheaters. I would not be surprised if they make fake screenshots. I have no evidence on this tho.

eddiemccandless said:

The proof is in the evidence folder that was attached in the original thread made in this forum. It was full of racist insults and flaming/trolling behavior. (not proof that this particular poster of course, which is why @YKH says "I don't know if you are one of them").

Many of those evidence are cropped and submitted by Chinese players. Ofc they cropped out the part of them using racist slur.

Swap to a winne the pooh +Xi avatar then pay asian server a visit, you will know what I mean.

Before we go into the definition of racism, could you please explain why your Chinese mods are reporting players as cheaters who clearly aren't?

Also, since this is Asian server, not Chinese. You Chinese gotta learn to co-exist with other players.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused in this issue. A handful of accounts were reported to us as posting links to cheats in Chinese. As we do not speak the language, we decided to temporarily issue bans while we were looking into the cases. In all cases, we have resolved the situation in less than a week and we have lifted all unwarranted bans. We have no bans for political speech and all decisions for bans are taken by TaleWorlds administrators after reviewing evidence.

Thank you for dropping by and providing us with more details. We keep on bringing this issue up because it really affects us (asian players). I appreciate that TW do not scrafice asian players to please Chinese.

Will there be any follow up on that Chinese fourm which files fake reports? Perphase TW should look for more neutral/trustworthy community to help to administrate asia server.

It is good to know this isn't TW doing. But I am afraid that there are still many players do not know this and blame TW for banning posts regarding this issue on official fourm, reddit, steam, etc.

They are locking threads instead of answering them. This can easily be solved if they decided to be transparent and tell us what happened.
