No, Germany has no immigration problem. We have a lot of refugees which are seeking asylum. They are not immigrants. And they are not a problem. In fact we took in about 1Mio refugees in one year. Many of them get their application for asylum rejected because they are economical refugees and not war refugees.
Germany will even benefit from those who will stay. Most of them are young, they are going to be educted in Germany or they are already well educated. They are going to be valuable for our economy, demographics and society. Germany as a whole is not afraid of them. We have a potential of 10% - 15% xenophobic voters in Germany. But that is fading at the moment because the refugee issue turns out to be not a problem.
 
What you repeat about raping and so on is right wing populist rhetoric and prophaganda with no grounds of truth. There were only two bigger incident in Cologne and Hamburg where a few hundred refugees and other people gathered and some of them harrassed women and pick pocketed. There was no raping involved.
 
In Germany as in many other countries xenophobia only exists among those who have barely or never been in contact with people from other countries and cultures. Look at the votes in London. The majority of all immigrants in the UK lives and works in London. London clearly voted Remain.

Another alarming thing about the referendum is this: Link

 
It shows that probably Brexit voters who fell for the exaggerated populist claims of the Brexit campain are now - after the vote - actually being interested what they really voted for.
 
One thing is clear these days, whether it's in the US or in the UK. Stupid has the numbers. (no offense)
 
Questions with this kind of impact on not only the own country  and the EU but basically the whole world should not be decided in referendums by ordinary half informed people who decide subjectively and not rational. Who mostly don't care about the ramifications and the future etc.
 
Without any judgement:
Statistic says that UK's
young people voted remain
That educated people voted remain
That less educated people voted leave
That older people voted leave
 
One last thing:
A referendum like this can not happen in Germany. Decisions on this level are being made by the "Bundestag" (German Parliament). The members of the parliament are being elected by all German citizens over 18 every 4 years.

A move fuelled by xenophobia and ind misinformation. People thinking they are getting some sort of sovereignty back. 

Promises? If we're talking promises then we could discuss the promise that "the only way to guarantee Scotland's continued membership in Europe is to vote No" in said referendum - a point that was laboured heavily here, and in no small way contributed to a vote for the status quo.
 
Yet lo and behold, here we are, 18 months later - being dragged out of Europe despite a huge majority of Scots voting against the move. Broken promises cut both ways.
 
Do the Scots hate the rest of the UK? Fuck no. Do we hate being pulled around on wild jingoistic adventures like this because there happen to be too few of us to influence the collective regardless of how we vote? Hell yes.

I wrote this in the Ester Egg thread already.
 
The infamous DICE camo is going to be stripped off the IR / Flir blocking abilities according to DICE. They don't know yet when they will roll out the next patch, but it's going to be nerfed in that upcoming patch.

Apparently the Dice LA Camo is going to be nerfed soon. According to the devs it was never intended to release it to the public with the IR/Flir blocking abilities.

It's November. So, it is only an artificial flower.

Just getting started again. More than 10 years after I sold all my analogue Nikon SLR gear I recently bought a Sony Alpha 77 SLT and some equipment.
 
Here some samples what I got so far.

Well spoken Pandi and Jay.
Good that the Zonk kids bedtime was around 10 yesterday. So I had at least for an hour fun on the server again.
 
Jay, I believe persistently splitting them up will make them stay away. No one can say then that XI is banning ppl because they are too good or anything.
They were pretty upset the last time when I saw you splitting them up and left soon after.
In my opinion that would be a clean solution. It only has to be done consequently.
If it's possible to do it automatically, do it please.  (eg. always nearly the same number of Zonks in both teams - no matter how many are on)
If not, give me admin rights and I will dedicate my time to only do that
 
When they are gone, many players would appreciate that. As Pandi said, our server is for fun and casual ptfo but not for competetive gaming.
I don't see that any other clan (VASK etc.) is a problem at all on our server. It's only them Zonks.

Thanks for your post Pandy. Well thought of and nicely put......
 
The problem is that when i am in game most people behave. Unfortunately i was out for a meeting and there were no other capable admins around i guess. I have checked involved players chats tonight and can see that it got a little out of hand. As you put it so nicely; ''Who will miss them?''; Not a lot of people i think. Problem is that now it`s Zonk, tomorrow it will be another clan.
The most problems i have with rejecting them from our servers is that i, for a fact, know they don`t cheat and they were a great help when we were struggeling to get players on. BUT; As i have said before, i will not let people leave our server because of one certain clan.........
 
Having said the above; I will let the democratic voice speak and will do what is needed to keep the server a great one to be on...........
