Flags?
 
So, my flag has been changed to 'Britain' and no way of changing it. I want my flag to be England. I am English. Britain? That's Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and England. But i want to be known as English. Not British. I'm not Welsh, Scottish, Irish and English, I'm just English.

They said they wanted to auto set flags, but lets be fair, I want to be English, that is what i am. I'm sure Scottish would want to wear the Scottish flag and the same goes for N. Ireland and Wales.
I don't want to be mistaken for being a Scottish, a Welsh, an Irish, i want to be known as English.

I think every country should have their flag, but honestly, w h o c a r e s
It's for ease of use, there isn't a flag for every single country (some smaller ones use "Other") and countries in Britain are lumped into a single flag, it's really not a big deal

Start a riot at unstick and get everyone to spam feedback so it gets changed!



Just kidding, you have a far better chance of getting banned than anything constructive being done.

No, I am English. Britain is a nation of what we are in.

I'm all up for GeoLocating, but i'd rather have it as the COUNTRY i am in and not the NATION i am in.

What does this effect? What problems does it cause? Who does it harm and in what way?
It's weird because some people are complaining about their privacy, yet others want their location narrowed down even more finely...

The complaint is literally just "I don't like this" and all I'm saying is that I'm sure Graal staff won't care at all until it actually negatively affects the game in some way.

Then I hope you get banned from the game. Organizing people to spam feedback won't get what you want. It just devalues feedback and results in it either being ignored or actual constructive/useful feedback being missed.

It isn't an argument because the side you argue for has literally been invalidated by staff telling you explicitly that this would not be removed. I'm simply trying to break the bad news to you since you can't seem to understand, but you're getting all hostile over it.

Because people think differently? I'd much prefer people to know i was English and not Scottish or whatever.

I'm pretty sure you'd have a different opinion, if it were you who had the wrong pissing country in your flag.

Britain isn't even a country, i don't see why they couldn't just get rid of Britain and create a flag for N. Ireland what takes about 2 minutes. They have flags for England, Wales and Scotland but the admins are too damn lazy to implement something what takes a 10 minute maximum.

Following your logic, we'd have to put each one of the us flags(California, New-York, etc). Or each one of the canadian flags(Ontario, Québec, etc).
The way I see it your average graalian won't call you scottish unless you tell them.
I never even thought about it myself.
In the end does it even matter? You're not english, you're a human being, same as the scottish.

It's not that they're lazy, it's that something this insignificant shouldn't really be a big concern.
The reasoning you're using also has a touch of racism.

if they set my flag as the flag of Florida, the US state I live in, I honestly wouldn't give a ****
if they set my flag as "NA" text, the continent I live in, I honestly wouldn't give a ****

Areo 11-07-2015 10:37 PM

Still fail to understand why this is still an argument. Rufus responded to your questions/objections about it, its clear Dusty isn't interested in changing it back, and FP4 created it, so he won't want his effort to go to waste. If you can't get any of those three, what can you really do? It's a done issue, guys.

David 11-07-2015 10:44 PM

How much longer are you people going to incessantly bitch about this update? It's so minor none of you should even ****ing care. Make a shield with the flag you're so proud of. Make a body. Make a head. Anything. The point is that the flags are no longer indicative of your national self expression. It's based on location. Just move on, it was never that serious to begin with.

As long as people like the guy who started this thread won't be able to acknowledge other human being and fear to be associated with a group of other human beings.
You can be proud of your country, but to say that you don't want to be associated to another country without giving any argument of proper value isn't really something that should be taken lightly.
For example, if your argument was that you didn't want to be associated to a country that's currently at war, it'd be understandable.

Wow. The stupidity of some people in this thread is mind-blowing. OP is clearly proud of his country and wants people to know that he's from there and not some other place, how is this a bad thing? The difference between England, Scotland and Wales is not the same as the difference between American states, they are separate countries with the equivalent of provinces/states of their own. I see nothing wrong with OP wanting his country's flag on his profile.

Skt A. Sangue 11-08-2015 12:52 AM

I find this racist.

If I'm white and I'm from africa- people will think I'm black.

If you're from Asia people will think youre Asian.

I put down my race. I find it useless to know where I am. Think I'm cheating? Go send a ticket and they can check the logs.

This just causes racial profiling.

Also this just sets up *********s.

Now they know where you live.
