There is no need to contact PWA's to look into this matter. The event is called "gas chamber"

It's not in anyway shape or form as Sales said as to represent or resemble the holocaust.

If you feel that by reading "Gas Chamber" it has to do something with the holocaust, it's YOU that has a problem. There are gas chambers used for people convicted to death sentences, and also they use them in training of military services. If you make the connection to the holocaust and assume that we're talking about Nazis and Hitler, then you seriously need to get your sick mind checked out.

As the Events Team Admin, I sincerely apologize for the actions done by my ET. He has been fired and we will look into making sure that this never happens again, because this is the second (or third) time it has happened.

I'm not changing the event name. It's fine, I don't wanna use those other names cause "Bullet Chamber" sounds retarded. "Explosion Chamber" sounds just as retarded, and i'm not even gonna take time out to type the last one, cause it's equally, if not then more retarded.

You can get a global to talk to me if they think the word is innappropriate. Gas chambers aren't just from the holocaust, you need to read up on things more often.

I don't really think that's fair to say; many people may think about it. I did as well. What is weird to me is that people are offended by it.

I'm awfully sure, stating their opinions/suggestions for amending the problem are "retarded" doesn't pose any assistance toward the situation.
Might want to change your tone to a less aggressive one. You can't insult those offended and then say, "We'll look into the matter"... not really "reassuring" if I might add.

In any event, "Bullet Chamber" or "Explosive Chamber" don't sound so bad, I think "Survival" would be better. Seeing as that is where the event revolves around, and anyone who makes a connection to the holocaust with that title is simply going to extraneous lengths to make the link.

To Chris: It obviously is offensive to players, I mean the concept of the event is retarded as-is, why can't it be reinvented? No one actually gets "excited" when they see ""Gas Chamber" is being hosted by ....."", its not popular at all. You won't receive any counteraction in changing it.

@ the411, I think the problem is the fact that the ET also announced "Concentration Camp" for an event called Gas Chamber. It's not hard to guess what this is a reference to. Personally I don't really care, it is of poor taste but then again so is Era.
