    I suggest not agreeing to do brutal matches like this @Harry Cramb or who ever is scheduling. I understand the whole acting independent thing and wanting to do stuff your way but that's not uniform to the rest of ONI, plenty of other people would've rather did this I bet then the line up you have here. Goliath only schedules against clans it can beat, but to simply go along with games that your teams don't play regularly giving them easy wins isn't ideal to the morale of your unit. I can't imagine a 1 hour game that wasn't close be beneficial to the unit.

    Your second post should have been your first one.

    Considering the team this is quite disappointing but like you said we havnt done 8v8s before. 

    Look, he's disappointed. But the readiness was not there to agree to the event beforehand. It's wrong to schedule something you aren't prepared for because beyond your members is your ship and ONI. I do not believe there should be a greater emphasis on wins and losses as we all know if it includes ambiguous game types like Raids and whatever this was it can dilute the data from what people actually want to take pride in. 

    I think taking this into account separate numbers should be broken down for game type @Shawn4Japan.

    Everyone is commenting at the same time because we just finished a training and we're going over what happened in the match and the issue of us being demoralized came up. So we're just making sure everyone knows that we aren't. 

    Or you were asked to comment "we are not demoralised everyone say that on the thread", perks of being an admin on the Discord. In hindsight its nice to see so many people have access to the site. Other than the diligent personnel writing reports I was sure that no one else logged in to read more than whatever filtered information is being delivered down.

    EXPUNGED RECORD: Special Warfare Group Three

    We are close to finishing Operation: Horizon I don’t mind at all having a internal with them 😁

    After the short conversation over Discord I cannot imagine the group sticking around long enough to do an internal from them. It might be a greater opportunity to poach members out and treat them as a recruiting pool instead of the punching bag @Shawn4Japan and Command wants to make out of them.

    Dyvilish#9191 Lobby Floor

    You’re asking Bane to come here to defend himself?

    Should be treated as treason giving him our platform to voice his opinions. He’s not our friend, he’s not yours and honestly someone who should be in our community.

    Yes I asked him, its the responsible thing to do. This person clearly is in pain and I want to hear him out, he has a problem with ONI that appears to stem back for a few years. Giving him our platform to speak freely is an invitation to friendlier relations and solution moving forward. It's clear to me he does not want to take up this opportunity though and that may be for a number of reasons but its not any of my business to ask.

    Hello everyone, in regards to recent events in the ONI Discord server I want to personally rectify and understand this situation that came to be that others are responsible for. I want to give Dyvilish#9191 an area to speak freely without being spammed to make an argument with valid points on this website where it cannot be contested, blocked or insulted as it did over Discord. 

    This is a thread for him to say what he wants about ONI, and CINC Admiral Zeus as we seek the truth.

    Identity Politcs today

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    This is an excerpt from a discussion we intercepted in another community, aboard the UNSC Point of No Return I decided to begin this debate in our forums. These topics aren't for everyone, if you're baffled, offended or disgusted in anyway just take a leave from the site and thread. There are plenty more relevant topics to just gaming we can all talk about.

    Identity politics allows people to believe that because they have an identity, they can speak with authority on it. And because of this identity, their views cannot be invalidated, no matter how much they are based on fallacies. This is especially a powerful construct to cling to by those of a minority race, as it allows the majority to only participate when they first admit they are less worthy. This standard is why a lot of white people do not participate in the conversation; the requirement is to devalue their own experience first (for right or wrong). Movements that tout the same brand of thinking (BLM?) devalue anyone else from speaking about the issue until they've clung on to the mantra of self hate (white privilege or white bias for example), and make the exact same generalizations about race they accuse others of making. I like how one writer said it, "Identity politics makes people feel better about themselves at the expense of productive discourse. A person’s lived experience should never be invalidated. But no identity makes the beliefs that someone derives from their lived experience automatically more correct. This is not just a logical fallacy that should be avoided on principle. In practice, it is actually a hindrance to persuading others."


    Miyamoto Musashi wrote once, "Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie." A whole bunch of people are living lies (constructed over long periods of time and learned mainly through listening by those they surround themselves with) and they want those lies validated on a constant basis.

    I'm interested to hear out your thoughts on this @Jason L Lewis

    The Southerner and how he is viewed

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    One of the last threads I would have ever imagined to be on this site. Usually these kinds of conviction are just based on your environment and how you are raised. It's great that you are open to conversation though and agreeing to disagree. Its usually an HIGHCOM/Officer's discourse to discuss these things because we know we won't offend each other as open minded and more centrist, futurist people.
