Charlie filtered?

[FatalLight]

You can't put charlie as a rank in an outfit, the same thing happened when I tried vassal and /appealed it, the guy said it was becuase of language filters, so why charlie??

[Baneblade]

I'd tell you, but then I would have to OS you.

Possibly because "Charlie" is a racial slur against Vietnamese people.

yup. I'm sure you could use Charles, though.. but that'd be weird because I'm guessing you're using Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.

Alpha, Bravo, Charles is just too funny!

Or use "Ch4rl3y" haha. Actually I think you can substitute a capital-I for a lowercase-L. That might work.

suprising...Charlie is more of a term for the Viet Cong (Victor Charlie in military phoenetic alphabet)
I suppose you can't shout "Charlie in the treeline!" any more in ps? :|

[FatalLight]

What exactly do you think a frikkin' VietCong is? Someone from, say, Greenland and not Vietnam?? That's like saying, "Northerners are okay, but Yankees are annoying."

VietCong are Vietnamese too. The name "Viet Cong" is simply short for Viet Nam Cong San [Vietnamese Communists] aka People's Liberation Armed Forces in South Vietnam.

so you're saying that any given person in Afganhistan a few years ago supported the Taliban? Is every citizen of Iraq a terrorist, because some of them are?





*=actually incorrect use of the word terrorist, but nobody cares.

Where the hell did you get that idea? I said, the Viet-Cong are Vietnamese people too. Like Republicans and Democrats are still American. And just like (most of) the Taliban are Afghans.

NOT VICE VERSA.

Not to be starting a war in a inappropriate place, but it's you that needs to do some reading.

That's a nice comeback - and generally expected from someone who doesn't know WTF he/she is talking about. Pure flash, and zero substance.

Have a nice day.

[Baneblade]
