    Reich means kingdom in German, and those are not swastikas.

    I've played with one of those guys. He was a riot. We were making all sorts of "inappropriate" jokes in the chat while playing. Can people who watch replays see them?

    Personally I think that hounding people of other countries and forcing them to whitewash their history is inappropriate.

    I mean, why not go the whole hog and call war inappropriate? Maybe Uber should reskin the game to look like kittens running around a meadow kissing each other or something.

    By the way, aleiux, your avatar looks suspiciously similar to the Soviet Union's symbol...

    Let's not pretend we don't all know the intent.

    Honestly, that is german translation, and those are buddhist symbols, so says a buddhist. Not that you needed one to tell you.

    Hey look, this guy has a smooth head with a swastika tattoo, he is a Nazi!

    Just to nitpick a litte, 'Reich' actually means 'realm'. 'Königreich' would be 'kingdom', or more literally, 'king's realm'.

    Apart from that, flanking 'Reich' with swastikas is so far from buddhism that I do not even...

    Reclaiming your teammate's commander is trolling. This is dumb at best, political at worst, something I would like to keep out of my games, thank you very much.

    I also sat back and gave a sidelong look at the logo in Teamspeak.

    I don't like the idea of someone even mirroring the Swastika. It's so close....anyway.

    It's close enough to be controversial - off with his head!

    Hindu swastika is on it's side, Nazi's swastika is on the end of a side; tilted.
