    I am shocked and saddened by what has happened in Paris.

    In recognition of these terrible acts, I've changed the Flag on my island to the French Flag to show support and unity with with French people. I've suggested the same to the members of my guild and they are very supportive.

    Let's promote this across all of the plunder world. Change your flags to support FRANCE!

    It won t change anything, nor will it make anything better. Why not changing our flags to a country where little children starve because of hunger every day???

    I just want to point out that every day we have so many sad tragedies and evil happen all over the world but mostly we ignore, are not aware , or don t care, cause otherwise you would be depressed 24/7.

    This is a game we play to enjoy and get away of the real world, so for my part i prefer to leave such things into the real world and out of any games.

    Yes, very good idea. It's such an atrocity, I was watching it for hours last night. Just horrible.

    Yeah, very sad.
    224 (not 129) dead including 25 children in A321 catastrophe in Egypt.
    Nobody shocked and changed flags here.
    Only ***** up Charlie Herbo caricatures. Its high time for them to draw some fresh ones.

    I really don't wish to stir up anything by responding to these messages... (but imho)

    Yes the world is full of tragedies and death and so yes we play a game to escape this... however showing solidarity isn't really that big of an inconvenience is it?

    Secondly - agreed there are many causes of death, the plane crash for instance (at the moment cause is unknown). However in Paris the cause is very definitely known - multiple organised attacks with the specific purpose of creating confusion & fear.

    We simply wish to show solidarity so that if we can, we give the people affected some faith in humanity.

    Yes you couldn't be more right, we play these games to escape for a time, but when something horrific like this happens showing a little compassion isn't too much to ask. And you can't compare an accident to the acts of terrorism, one is just that, an accident. The other is a sickening act to instil fear & kill as many innocent people as possible.

    We show solidarity to our tragedy. The French are frivolous.
    They can post caricature and lought on it . But they not understand that hurt those who grieve. So yes , I'm very sad! Sad about double standard politics .

    I am very confused about your entire post. How about you type what you mean and then someone familiar with your language translate it to us

    (imho) Accusations against each other in this thread are not helpful to anyone. There is absolutely no intention of different classes of people - we are ALL humans!

    Criticism of 'double-standards' is fair - however this should not be levelled at ordinary people (who only know about the events that are reported) - these accusations should be levelled at 'western' media organisations who give MASSIVE bias towards stories in their own region.

    Finally to say that Russia is the only country fighting against ISIS is completely unfair - several countries are carrying out air strikes (including obviously France - which is why ISIS targeted Paris!)

    Russia is the only county whose strikes have real effect and the only country infamously howling and belying by western mass media for them.
    Agreed with the rest, but 'ordinary people' must be pointed at what they do and how does it look like if they don't see it themselves.

    I've closed this thread as is was getting a bit heated and political (which is against forum guidelines). Naturally our thoughts go out to all those countries who have suffered mass loss of life.
