It is perfectly okay if a troll comes around and questions our rules now and then with some fresh arguments.

But your dog won't run, Dayve. The games are fun because they are games. We don't 'kill and exterminate innocent civilians', we move sprites across a pixel screen. The TW games are an abstract of reality just like Chess or Go. If you visit these forums, you will see that the real-life successors of all those nations being virtually 'exterminated' in the TW games are actually conversing, debating, developing mods, joking and working together in the .Org like the best of friends. Our forum is the opposite of the slaughter you suggest, and the true message we send to any outside readers is that TW games are just that, innocent games.

It is precisely because we do not support killing or exterminating people in real life, because in our interactions we aim for the exact opposite, that any calls for violence in this forum are strictly forbidden. And any language that may cause acrimony and conflict and finally lead to such violence is forbidden, too, and for the exact same reason.
