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. |

at 11:18 PM, Sunday July 27, 2008 EDT I haven't been playing kdice for about a week. I missed most of what appears to be going on. All I have to say is, Johnson, I am seriously sad that you want to leave Kdice. You were one of the people that made this game fun and interesting. My two cents: I would absolutely hate to see you go.

at 1:19 AM, Monday July 28, 2008 EDT sal, you are way off base.
ryan is not most comparable to the "law," he is most comparable to the owner of a coffee shop. ryan cannot make rules for the entire internet, he can only make rules for the small portion which he owns. a coffee-shop owner cannot make rules for the world, only for the small portion he owns. do you get the analogy ? of course you do. but unlike the coffee-shop owner, it is more difficult for ryan (i understand this). but, regardless of how difficult it is, it is un-acceptable. many, many un-acceptable things are also legal. when i mentioned that racist comments are unacceptable in public parks, i might've led you to conclude i'm from somewhere else, someplace where the "law" would roust someone for doing this. i'm from america and the people who step in (in my example of the harassment in a public park) are other people in the park, similar to kdice where the people who complain are people using kdice in a public park, such people would be face-to-face with the people who think saying such things are "fighting-words." being face-to-face leads many people to decide all on their own to shut up, and being on the internet leads many juvenile people (whatever their actual age) to resort to the juvenile harassment everyone is familiar with. |

at 4:20 AM, Monday July 28, 2008 EDT Sad to hear you are leaving J, i hope you change your mind.
Your actions in the last days seemed rash and inconsiderate. I advise you to take a deep breath and get your issues straight. I dont think that the statements of a few fools can discourage you like that. I believe that your anger and your disappointment is in fact caused by something else and is projected onto kdice. If you figure out what the real problem is, you will be able to enjoy kdice for what it is "a minor distraction with countless fun and intelligent people". take care, Shev |

Your analogy still doesn't make sense. Ryan is the proprietor of kdice. The proprietor of a public park is the government. You asked the proprietor of kdice to do something. In other words you asked to change the kdice laws. If you wish to restrict your analogy to just a coffeshop, and wish to amend it to say a coffeeshop own can boot someone out, rather than make a blanket statement that racist statements are unacceptable in all coffee shops, then your statement would start to make sense. |

at 5:22 AM, Tuesday July 29, 2008 EDT First of all i didnt said that to Johnson.
And what you "show" thats just the part of that conversation WITH YOU. We played (R0n - me) in the 500 table and he keep insulting me, and i moved to the 2500 table, but i defeated. He keeps saying me im an idiot a sure looser ect., then i said TO r0n the "N" word, and now im the bad guy. Just for the clear view he had a team not me, he loose the points and not becouse of me. So r0n thats enough you use my name in here with no reason. I didnt do that to Johnson or anybody, and im not a racism. And dont tell me your poor life. Yeah you had a bad life and no money but you have enough money to donate..... So leave me alone, and dont use my name for others shitness. |
