First of all, does everyone here who is hating on Illiet/Elhe and other "Russian Asshats" actually hate them because of their actions in-game, or do they just find an excuse to hate them more in every single action that can be linked with a moralistically/psychological bad streak that is supposedly found in all Russian CF players?

I don't even know how to get on to these dange#rooms or whatever, and I only personally know one person (who I havent talked to in four years) who has played CF. I don't know who's who until they delete, and I didn't know Ahtieli was Illiet was Elhe for a LONG time. (I didn't know Elhe was Illiet until today.)

This said, the simple question I'm asking is: If Ahtieli and Gzurweeg (I don't know if Gzurweeg is Russian or not) had flawless English and committed the same act, and a veil of ignorance (Rawl's theory where you don't know who is who, basically), would you have acted in this same OOC fashion? I've seen people who acted douchier than Ahtieli and Gzurweeg at times aka Kegren, Kalderseg (not the best of examples, but you get the point.)

Because to be honest, I see very little reason for them to be called a Russian Ganksquad in this case simply because two of them attacked you, one indirectly. I see people going OOC and saying shit about Russians, but I never see anyone yelling, American Asshat ganks.

EDIT: Another way to say it is, if all players, including Russians, had perfect English, do you think that the Russians would be eventually all found out, and would people IC realize which are the Russians after a length of time of playing? Or, if they are asshats/ganksquads as they say, would they be distinguisable from asshats/ganksquads who are not Russian?
