I know this guy. He's French and struggles with English. He gets his balls broken for it relentlessly in any crew I've ever been in with him. But he's a good guy, just hard to understand sometimes in text. Probably fares far better than most on here would in a French text game. I wouldn't know if the folks in the crew he was just killed off from fucked with him about his English or not, but I've seen it happen plenty on here. Pretty lame. |

He was killed off for shooting at Prem. That's why he was killed off. He even admitted it in his post. Go read his funeral. It had nothing to do with his ability to speak English and everything to do with breaking family trust, rules, and acting in a manner that is unacceptable. Instead of moving on with things he chose to come up with a ridiculous lie. |

I've worked with him also in the past, and echo the sentiments of SexyBeast in regard to how he's been treated.
I don't know what happened to him in LV, nor is it any of my business. Quite frankly, I don't care.
It's a shame to see him go, as I've always enjoyed him. One of the truly nice people I've had the pleasure of working with here. |

Yeah I know he wasn't killed for his English. I didnt claim he was. Regardless I've still witnessed the guy get fucked with and name-called about his English and think it's lame |

Me looks at the story, looks at the funeral and pieces together a story.
Reverand_D was given auth to pro whack in the recent conflict with LA. When he gets frustrated with the fact he is not progressing he decides to go out and damage LV in any way possible as he thinks will get made quicker somewhere else and why not give a kick in the nuts to the city that had sheltered, protected and brought him up.
So how do we get out of a crew, do we simply ask to leave.. no good that will not damage LV's reputation, how about we abuse the trust given instead and use the auth i still have to cause damage and hope someone gets killed out of it or at least damage the city if a compensation deal would be agreed(an idea he probably never had). Wonders if he is getting warm now.
After seeing he has died and -Premeir and Las Vegas are alive, he tries to fuel the fire further with a thread, and see's people have seen through him and the shame he has brought on himself and the city. He then suicides to hide in another family possibly as realises he has made an ass of himself.
Made Man you see is an honour and comes with the strictest trust and the worse part, after your recent loyalty to the city protecting those above you those books may have been opened; guess we are lucky they weren't.
Sad to see these threads more and more littering ooc or the streets which have tried linking players to underground groups, or going rogue to assist marston. Very sad indeed to see baseless allegations. |

I would like to make it clear, that his English was not made fun of. Just like his other stories of "being a new player" and "took orders from LV to shoot Premier", it is simply a story, perhaps revenge for holding him back on his promotion. Nonetheless, this event has shown that it was a wise decision in doing so. |

If I may Speak on this briefly...I think that this is actually a good thing for LV in a sense b/c now they dont have to waste any time they now know what type of person they had in their organization.. I say that to say who knows what this guy could have stirred up if he would have actually got made. I have tons of respect for LV so i must say congrats for finding a snake in the grass... |

The people of Las Vegas may not have made fun of him and this story may in fact be complete bullshit. However, I was sat in the #divinelunacy coffeeshop on IRC and when this thread went up you did make fun of him Canucklehead.
[22:09] <~MafiaReturns> OOC: Las Vegas nobody does know!
No matter what spin you try to put on it, I think you were taking the piss out of his grammar. You could say that you were commenting on what was actually being said rather than the poor grammar but saying "My brain hurts after reading that" to me means you were incensed at the poor grammatical structure of it (I have asked around and I am not alone in thinking this way). Now... you may or may not have known that this guy is using English as a second language at the time, but as you've been around for almost as long as me and the fact that you are part of the admin team, you know that you should check before saying things like that.
I do believe that the person in question was in the room at the time and if I was that person, I would want an apology from you, whichever way you meant to express your opinion. |

Kriminal, I never meant to imply that he was made fun of in your crew for his English, and to your point he's not a new player and knows that a WG isn't supposed to shoot at a GF from another city. I was speaking on times I was in a crew with the guy in the past and what I saw firsthand. Last time was about a year ago I think. I don't know you, so pardon me if I came off as finger-pointing in you or your crew's direction. He made a mention of a time he was called a tard in a recent discussion (I forget which forum or thread) and I remembered it bummed him out because I was in the crew with him at the time. Saw it brought up again in this post and figured I'd chime in, much like I always have whenever everybody piles on a street speech that has typos or grammatical errors. I'm not saying it's some heinous crime that his English is ridiculed, I'm not suggesting anybody owes the guy an apology or should ever get in trouble for doing it. There's a lot of ultra-sensitivity on this game and I don't want to feed that fire. I'm just saying it's lame |

I've saw the same things you speak of SexyBeast. On the last occasion I took the lad aside and congratulated him on his efforts. He does far better in English than I could in French, so for that I appluad him. |

Is anyone else thinking why would you allow a person to keep Perm auth when it is blatantly clear you don't trust him? |

As I am the leader that reverand_D was sponsored by I will say my piece as I take blame for getting played like a fool of sorts and my trust abused, thus leading to the incidents mentioned in this OOC thread. |

Hades, I think it IS in fact a case of poor timing on tiggy's part in that log. Is there a small chance that she was referring to the lack of English fluidity in postman's post? Absolutely. Is there a small chance I can win Metro Fantasy Soccer? You better believe it. The problem is the logs weren't fully taken in context, and that does pose a problem. You see what that small sample size does NOT show is annoyance extraordinaire, RichardKuklinski, posting yet another thread 8 minutes prior. I guarantee people have said almost identical things in #divinelunacy when his threads go up as tiggy did when postman's thread popped up.
The intent of that comment may never be fully understood. It COULD have been anger at the lack of English fluency, it COULD be her getting tired of the subject, it COULD have been directed at Kuklinski. The only thing we know for sure is the timing was unfortunate, and if we're apologizing for bad timing then we all better start now to finish by 2018.
What I do know is that guy was a dick for abusing the trust of his family and for shooting at my dear Premeir. A big, huge dick. Hopefully that doesn't get lost in translation. |

Indeed, it could have been Roman. Hence why I wrote "I think" before starting what I said and added "to me it seems like". It could all have been totally innocent, thats why I asked a couple of other people's opinions on the matter and granted, I didn't ask the whole site so other people may have a different interpretation of it. It could all simply be down to poor timing, but looking at it from the original poster's point of view, if I was the guy I would have assumed it was aimed at me.
If I had said that in the coffeeshop and didn't mean it in the way that I have interpreted it I would apologise to the guy, even if it was as simple as "If you took offence to what I said, I apologise, I didn't mean to aim it at the grammar of your thread, I was simply frustrated because Kuklinski had posted yet another thread just minutes previously".
What tiggy said may have been completely innocent, which is why I haven't made an official complaint about it or told the guy who made this thread to make a complaint, she needs a chance to defend herself, as we all do. |

You making an 'official complaint' about it or suggesting he make one would be equally lame |

Needless to say...you're a dick if you make fun of someone struggling to learn a new language while they're still trying to better it (there's a difference between cracking jokes with them and cracking jokes about them). A f u c k i n g dick. Not saying anyone in here did or didn't. |

I agree with just about everything that was said by Roman except his defense of one certain person who i have witnessed time and time again bash men/women and even a 12 year old boy who was on the bad end of one of their bad moods. All in DL of course! One apple doesnt spoil the bunch in this case as the majority of everyone treats eachother with respect for the most part despite age/cultural/language barriers all around us. |
