Tee Hee! Look what I found! It is on the beach! And it... Anthrax! Look at Messages... That's what shows when I right click on it.

Such a sad, sad world we live in when we have to worry about anthrax ON GRAAL.

Inphektid 07-29-2002 08:26 AM

Dude...I really hope you're faking this, that's about as bad as UN's sniper rifle...

Androk2k1 07-29-2002 08:31 AM

I am seriusly not faking it.. It actually lay on the beach... I tried to grab it and lay it where newbies come to life, but you can't pick it up x.X

That appears in an area which is contagous and holds a sickness or poison, to what I can tell with talking to unixmad early this morning.

They should change that then, that is not appropriate at all...

SaiyanSaviour 07-29-2002 08:43 AM

I don't see anything wrong about it.

Kuza 07-29-2002 08:52 AM

That's real ****ing mature.

DarkHero2002 07-29-2002 08:57 AM

Co² bombs, of course.

I don't really see what everyone's big problem is. If the terrorists had used a more potent flu virus instead of anthrax, would you all be whining about this?

That is truly pathetic. And besides how the hell would one get anthrax in the time graal is set in? Now I'm glad I was having such horrible problems getting on to 2k2 after seeing how immature people that play it are.

It's the symbolism used in the gesture. Also, stop to think, Unixmad/Stefan aren't actually of American distinction, ya know? After all the terroristic events, you place "anthrax" on a medieval server? Just doesn't sound right.

No, then people would be joking saying it was the more potent flu virus. Seriously tho, that is really immature, really low too.

Vyse_the_Blue_Rogue 07-29-2002 10:19 AM

Stefan was bored and wanted to see how many people actually got offended by it ;)

Hiyoshi 07-29-2002 10:24 AM

I was thinking more along the lines instead of Anthrax maybe the disease that caused the black plague.

Thak2 07-29-2002 10:26 AM

Anthrax has been around for hundreds of years.

It's always been deadly, but only recently has it been made worse, and more toxic.

So, Anthrax could exist in a medieval setting.

Anthrax has been around since the dawn of time, only now it's being turned into a biological weapon instead of a common virus strain.

Yeah, you're right, unixmad wanted to insult the united states and get all the american players upset and angry with him. :rolleyes:

You know what, I don't like you one bit. As a matter of fact, I'm glad I don't know you too well. You seem to complain about too many things that offend you. Now do us all a favor, and leave these forums. You are a very immature person with way too many problems.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ 07-29-2002 11:13 AM

I'm real sorry I have to say this, but some Americans just really get offended by the silliest things. Yes, Sept. 11th and all those other attacks like the anthrax scare was indeed a tragedy but now are we supposed to never use "terrorism", "anthrax", "bombing", "hijacking" in context again? Give me a break..

Anthrax has been around for a long time, it's just a disease buried deep within the earth that was used in a medieval setting. If my history serves me correctly, anthrax may have been one of the agents that brought about the plague, in the 1350's so please stop complaining.

Ghost Pirate 07-29-2002 11:24 AM

Diablo2 Has weapons and charms that can say Anthrax, yet I don't see you running around like your head cut off screaming about that.

ALUCARDPSX 07-29-2002 11:47 AM

Hey where is this "anthrax" located

You are twisting the point, and doing it poorly. The original point was why the hell is Anthrax even in a game that kids play? I am sure that not only Americans think that this is wrong to have in a game that kids play, it is completely ignorant of whoever put it there, and even more ignorant on your part to make fun of Americans because of something that does not belong in a kid's game and that offends many people, non-Americans included. Nothing is wrong with using them in context, but if anything of that matter is used IN A GAME THAT KIDS PLAY, it is wrong. If the staff on Graal2002 had any COMMON SENSE, they would have just called it a plague or something, not anthrax.

Vyse_the_Blue_Rogue 07-29-2002 11:55 AM

I must say this though, I don't give a damn about Anthrax, I'm not offended by it and neither should anybody else. But Anthrax is stupid.

That skull should've been called
Black Death

I am pretty sure Diablo 2 has a Mature Rating, does Graal? Use your head before you post stupid arguments like this.

zrpgp2p 07-29-2002 12:09 PM

I'm not offended by it, but for the people who are offended it shouldn't be called anthrax.

adam 07-29-2002 12:10 PM

The Black Death is cooler than anthrax despite the controversy.

Yeah, if we remove anthrax for this reason, we may as well remove bombs too. Bombs have killed way more people than anthrax ever has. ;)

freddyfox 07-29-2002 12:25 PM

I am never using the word "tower" or "world" or "center" again because it might offend ppls!!!!!!!!!!

It was a example you peabrain. Fussing over a type of poision doesn't seem logical anyways?


And who said Graal has a rating? I never seen a rating for Graal, if you seen a rating for Graal please point me in the right direction.

Why don't you go back to that **** server with a place called Hooters that you so call manage

I applaud your maturity.

If you've read anything on the website or had any common sense at all, you would have realized that graal is geared more towards children. If you were just a bit smarter, you also would have realized that if it is geared towards children that are at least 12 years of age, it wouldn't have extreme stuff that would be in a game with a mature rating. Diablo 2 has a mature rating, graal is geared towards children, so why are you trying to compare the two and justify using something in Diablo with something in graal?

Now in my previous post, I didn't criticize you, I criticized your argument. If you had been just a bit more mature, you would have either backed up your argument or not even posted, since you have no common sense and it would just make yourself look more dumb. Bringing up Old Delteria doesn't help you too much either, because it doesn't pertain to the subject and also has not been online for about 8 months now. So when you find some intelligence and want to argue about this logically, you can forum pm me because there is no point in spamming the forums with your immature posts.

Thak2 07-29-2002 01:42 PM

I don't think the use of Anthrax warrants a Mature rating.

It's merely a fungus spore thing, nothing too 'extreme' for 12 year olds.

You forgot "Skyscraper", "New York", "Crash", "Mail", "US" and "United States".
;P

Aliendude 07-29-2002 07:07 PM

Meh, I guess Stefan should take out the anthrax. I have nothing wrong with it, and I don't think you need to be that mature to play games with a poisen just because it was recently used on America..I understand your point Max-imus, but I think it's ignorant. Why do you need to be mature to play in a game with anthrax?

If anthrax offends people, so be it. Let them have their way. Having the name changed to black death or something won't hurt us.

VampiricTutorNewHD 07-29-2002 07:07 PM

Who cares. You guys that think anthrax should be taken down are the kind of people that would censor news.
So stop being all "you can't do this!". Graal is a private game. Therefore, they can do what they want(within the boundries of law, and using the word anthrax is).


EDIT:And do NOT let them have their way. Or it will be one thing after the next.

They can use the word anthrax, but I doubt they would want to if they knew what most Americans think of it. If this anthrax was mentioned in a review or something, I don't think the parents are going to want to buy the kids an account with their credit card. The could take the anthrax the wrong way.
