It has become apparent from certain well authorised Newbie's that citizens of the USA are no longer automatically welcome in English Easy UK rooms. If you are a resident of the USA and would like to visit the UK rooms, please obtain the relevant visa by contacting the player Christiiiii.

Mindraker, this includes you. Please get your paper work in, we are expecting it.

The clue is in the room title.

To be honest, it is quite annoying if people join and claim words like "neighbour" and "tyre" are incorrect.

Also "wtf is a kerb?"

I'm sure the person you're talking about didn't have this reason for not wanting you there though (still, hardly seems worth making a thread about).

LOL yeah I experienced that yesterday. I just take it all in good humor. I've played this game so long I'm starting to use words like "nappy". :biggrin:

hmmm... like "I am so tired I am going to take a nappy"?
or "her hair is so nappy"?

those are the only two uses I can think of for that word.

You can hardly mock the wordlist we use when there are also unusual words in US rooms that will confuse UK players. From my experience US rooms are also hostile towards UK players, but we just brush it off instead of taking offense to it. A few American players have also said to me that although they dislike some of the UK spellings of words, they prefer the atmosphere in the UK rooms.

You must have just found a bad room, you should have just left and joined a new UK room, the majority of people playing in them are from all over the world anyway. So I don't understand this thread, it's not like it's a regular occurance unless you constantly do something to cause tention with other players.

I have a sense of humour, but this thread didn't stimulate it.

Your use of the British "humour" instead of American "humor" did though, and earns you a free pass to UK rooms for one week only.

I am British and therefore dont require one of your crappy passes.

But thanks for your attempt at a joke

We do have a sense of humour on the forum sometimes, most of the replies have gone along with your post making it a joke or making a conversation out of it.

I believe in reciprocity. If one room requires visas for certain people from anothe room, those people from the other room should require people from the first room to have visas when they come into the second room.

Have i made myself clear?

I thought that this might bear some relevance to this thread....

This girl was complaining about the fact that we were talking about nailpolish (apparently this is a drastically boring subject) and I told her to just leave the room if she didn't like it. So this was her response, and the following discussion. xD

She never did define "take the mick out".....

Taking the mick is the same as taking the piss... so making fun of, mocking etc. Mystery solved. :)

As for the thread itself, I don't notice it as being that much of a problem in most rooms at all. Generally you get something along the lines of "omg lol why did you draw the car on the wrong side of the road?", "we drive on the left", "oh". Sometimes you do get people who like to make a big deal out of it I suppose. AH WELL.

Oh, my car drawings are so awful, I don't ever have THAT problem. It usually takes the round just for people to figure out that it's a "car". :embarrassed:

and forgetting to mention why I said "This is a UK room" was because someone drew a picture, which you where cussing them out for because they drew a child's bed for "cot" which is coincidently what a cot is in the UK and not an army bed? I simply said if you want American answers and drawings go to an American room or don't cuss people out and call them names because there are different meaning of the word cot in the USA and UK!

Well if Christiiiii's post is true she certainly deserves an apology!

Even if it isn't she deserves one from a few people if our "no naming and shaming" policy still exists (which I'm unsure of since we seem to have many unwritten rules here).
