LOL spoonwood.

I didn't ask...
I know that...

But I'm always sure you will say something useless.

I need to make that my signature.

I accused you of being a white supremacist and your defense is that whites ARE superior to other races, so how can you be wrong to think they are better?

I said smarter, not superior.  OHOL's white characters are superior in terms of intelligence.  I didn't say they were superior in every respect.

BUT i do think that your fixation on the universal translator ability (or WHITE POWER as I will now call it) is a reflection of your own personal biases.   Not toward race, but toward ability.    I strongly suspect you are an intellectual elitist.

Understanding is power?  Understanding gets things done?  Understanding influences people?  Understanding changes how things work in the real world?  Understanding makes people more likely to work well in teams in the real world?  All of those questions seem silly.  But, for what reason would you think that I believe that people with more intelligence makes them better in the real world, and with respect to what?  I denied people have more being than other people in another discussion, didn't I?

The other races all have abilities that represent physical fortitude - the ability to survive and work in an extreme environment.  Heat tolerance, cold tolerance, jungle tolerance.  They are all physically more powerful than the frail and wimpy white boys who must beg, borrow, or steal precious resources to survive.   Yet the unique physical abilities of other races clearly pale in comparison to the more substantial mental abilities of the translator race in your mind.

Huh?  Why would you think that I would compare mental abilities to physical abilities in some general sense?  Mental abilities and physical abilities are different in kind.  They do NOT belong to the same category of things.  Comparing those two would just invite category errors.  It would be like asking which person is superior: the winner of the marathon at the Olympics (which does require mental intelligence also for the record), or the world memory champion (or the world Go or chess champion... maybe) or the highest scorer of a math competition?  But the marathon runner trains for and competes in a different competition than the person in a memory competition.  They aren't even trying to accomplish the same thing, so comparison doesn't have too much to it.

It is pretty obvious that you consider intellectual acuity as a superior asset compared to physical prowess.

For what end?  For what endeavor?  To satisfy which goal?  For which socitey?  For which beings?

No Destiny, I wouldn't consider intellectual acuity as a superior asset compared to physical prowess in some general sense.  Doing such would involve a mistake of over generalization.

However, there does exist such a thing as intellectual gradations.  There is no race in OHOL that has superior physical ability in comparison to all other races.  For bs2 OHOL in contrast, maybe it's 15+ player bs2 OHOL, whites have superior intellectual ability in comparison to all other races.

I think the title is the suggestion, which i wouldnt disagree tbh. There is just some people who shouldnt be allowed in this game.

Pretty much.  Bobo Bill should have been banned a while back.  How to track someone like Bobo Bill?  Track players killing girls (via weapons) under 14 would be a start.  The system suggested where players could just watch and then vote on whether a reported player needs banned or not probably would work in my opinion.
