An open letter to the kdice community and Ryan.

Hello fellow kdicers. Over the past half year or so I have come to see that people enjoy this game for what it is; a minor distraction with countless fun and intelligent people. But for me it was much more then that. It was an escape. An escape of the harsh realities of myself, being of Afro-American heritage, growing up in a country dominated by the white man. Kdice put me on the same level as everyone else. People from all over the world were even when we were playing this game. It didn't matter what your class, race, or title was on kdice. But the intolerance displayed by not only the kdice minions but by the creator of the game himself is disgusting.

I used the little money I earn at my minimum wage job to donate a little money to the one place where I was found accepted. Yes, I was fully aware that I was buying points. Yes, I knew this would probably put me in the spotlight for a couple days. I saw myself on the end of a few indignant posts. I did not expect, however, my race being brought up.

I will spare you the chat logs but rest assured that no amount of apology or bartering will make me comeback to this game. I'm sorry I spent so much time on this site, and i'm sorry that I donated money to you Ryan. I suppose what i'm trying to say is goodbye. I've had a few laughs but nothing is worth this intolerance I have to put up with.

i would like to see the chatlogs, to know who the idiots are.

and ryan is a reasonable guy. my bet is that if you were to ask him for your money back, he would refund you, in light of the honorable reason for your quitting.

Why didn't you just say that you had no intention of taking xth place by buying points...?

Concerning who brought your race up...:
Who the fuck was stupid enough to do that?

So, I take it phosphate is now banned?

Yeah, right.

I know exactly where Johnson is coming from. This site absolutely stinks in its tolerance with racial abuse. I've barely ever come across any internet site that turns such a blind eye to contributors abusing others because of the colour of their skin.

Come back Johnson, mate. Hell,buying a few points only puts you in the same club as wish, and he's alright.

As to you little cunts who called Johnson a nigger, you deserved to have your little ballies cut off and shoved up your fat arses.

Apart from that, I'm sayin nuffin.

the acceptance of hostility (verbal abuse: most especially racist, sexist anti-semitic, and homophobic) is juvenile.

if ryan's response to this is "i'll clean this up when i have the resources, it's on my to-do list".
... well, okay. please put it near the top of the list.

if his response is, "big deal, words don't hurt !"
... dude, grow up. this isn't acceptable in any public sphere. not in a coffee shop, not in a public park, not on a mature site.

such behavior is either hateful, juvenile, or both.

Johnson, on behalf of anyone here with a lick of decency and a dram of brains, I am sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine you being swayed by anyone's words, but if number of requests is any help, I'll add my voice to the chorus asking you not to leave.

Has someone hacked Johnson's account? If he's quit, someone's sitting in as him and walking away once the game starts. If this is some kind of retaliation for buying stars, I don't like it. If action is taken, it should be official action. However, Johnson, if you're doing this as some kind of atonement as a result of the shit you took for buying the stars, I think there's got to be a better way to cough up points that leaves you with your dignity.

I'm leaning toward the hack explanation. The only thing I've seen "him" type tonight is "I hate this game". Somehow I don't think that's all he'd have to say if it's really him playing now.

Any ideas?
