Recruit
Hello!

Im Oberleutnant Cake of the Nr57 Line infantry in the Kaiserlich Konigliche armee.

Yestarday when I was playing on the 51st Siege server (very nice server, good maps and all cheers!) I was disturbed that, when I wrote the recruitment msg that I use. Someone said "dont want to be in a army of racists". We have seen this before, even seen officers of other regiments joke openly about it in Linebattles...

Disturbing as it is, that first of all... People think that we are in any meaning involved or connected to the movement "KKK".


We are the Kaiserlich Konigliche armee and in what otherway would you suggest that we shorten this down to, if not K-KA?

Im tired of hearing racist jokes, so why dont you smart lads that joke or insult us and our name post what you think would be a better abbreviation, and we will consider it.

BR,
Cake
 
Well, the Austrian Army could still be "an army of racists."  :wink:

You could try KuK, as in Kaiserliche und Königliche

Dont use abbreviation... my tag would be "Kaiserlich Konigliche armee_Nr57_Oblt_Cake"... dont think this would work! ^^
"KA" is an idea but it's not complete in my opinion though.

"KuK" in a community with so many Swedish player (I myself is swedish)? (Btw it means Cock in swedish).

 
Frederickson 说:
by no abbreviation i meant do not include your army in your tag. js.

We are an army, and people should know it. Ofc we want to have that said in our tags.
Removing it is not an option obviously.
 
Frederickson 说:
Well if you want to make a change KA is going to be the best alternative.

Agreed it's going to the alternatives. But Im not saying that we want to change, Im saying that if the community can't accept that we have 2 "K's" in our abbreviation to Kaiserlich konigliche armee, then we're going to consider to change...

You can understand that I think it's silly, because it's not 3 "K's" it's 2!....
 
"Kaiserlich konigliche" doesen't seem logical anyway, how can you have a emperor and a king at the same time? :razz:

I'd suggest chaning the KKA name eitherway.

you are Austrian aren't you vince...
 
Personal Unions are confusing things. One man, multiple thrones, where does one state end and the other begin.

The Austrian Empire was ruled by the Emperor, and he ruled over the Hungarian Kingdoms aswell, that had a King. So he was in one perspective at that time Emperor over kings, but later on 1860 something the Kings were gone and the Emeperor was called Emperor and King over the Austrian Empire!

Also kaiserlich und königlich could be translated as Imperial And Royal army. Which is what we intended.

We could make the tag "KuK", but then the swedish part of the community would have a laugh. Or we could be called the K&K(dunno if you may use "&" in NW as part of the tag but we could try). Or just the KK, but I can't see how changing the Tag from K-KA to KuK or K&K or just KK would make any diffrence for those that choose to make fun of us because we are using 2k's in the tag.

I can't see how it would solve the problem. I mean we have a logic name for our army and we have a logic abbveration for it.
The only thing that isen't logic is how people directly connect it with a racist organisation and then think it's ok to joke at our cost.

I mean do you honnestly think that we should change because people have choosen to make fun of the tag?

Make your abbreviation "IRA". No one will get angry about that.  :lol:

Thats not a bad Idea, that goes on the top of the suggestions actually! But I dont know what the other officers will think of not having the name in German, we'll see.

Thanks sir Bluehawk!

^Have to modify so that you'll understand... This was sarcasm...
 
Over my dead body will you rename it to IRA considering that is a group who murder 1000's of people in my country. So no.


K-KA is fine, you'd have to be pathetic to think its anything like KKK. We discussed it before choosing the name and I just knew we would have this problem. Its fine, I'll just report every single person I can that is either unbelievable uneducated or has the humor of a rotten banana..

It is the reason why i put K-K Army in my recruitment messages just so people can't do the KKK thing, surprisingly they still manage it. Got give credit for making an effort to be an ass.



EDIT: The name was chosen for its historical meaning.
 
Well if people react to the KK-A as KKK they are just immature and need to grow up. Just ignore randomers because most of them have no respect and if they are reacting to the name they are probably not the right person for your regiment, also if its people from other regiments doing it then it just makes them look bad and not you.  :wink:

But what's wrong with the Illinois Recylcing Association?
 
Ahhhhh.  Political correctness.  The domain of catamites everywhere.  If you had balls you'd be the KKK, and I would join.
