edi 0 Posted September 2, 2004 ciao from edi, i would like to sugest to addon makers to do a little island in Us style, Â and some people soldiers/civilians with fat body. Is anynone interrested to do? ciao to all ofp friends edi --------------------------------------------------- Urgent Ciao from edi, For difference of time i 'm reading the post now. First of all i want to say i'm sorry for my bad poor english that could cause some misunderstandings. I never meant to say that american people are fat, and between the two addons request was no connections, were just 2 different ideas for addon makers. The american style island cause would be good to play maybe some police or urban's missions, the fat people just to have some new caracthers in the game to make it more various, but i never meant to have american fat people, they can be from everywhere. I would like to change the comment under the title of the post but i don't know how to do cause maybe reading that really it could seem a provocation. Sorry again if someone could feel offendend but really was not my intenction. ciao edi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted September 2, 2004 Some of them are. Some are Olymipic atheletes. Some are thin, like me. Now, "edi", are you being petty, steriotypical, or simply extremely disrespectful? You choose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ni-mh 0 Posted September 3, 2004 about 25% of the adults in the United States are obese. although thats an alarming number, edi's comment is a hasty generalization of the American public. I'm sure what he meant was to have some variety in the types of civilians in game because most of the standard BIS civilians are practically perfect interms of physical appearance.

FerretFangs 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Well then, I think he should have been a little more careful in the way he worded his question. Because he came across as ignorant, and insulting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Why would you want fat people models anyways? And btw, all countries have fat people...the US doesnt own the copyright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted September 3, 2004 Who said the models were to represent Americans? Admitedly I drew the same connotation from the post but I'm pretty sure we should give the benefit of the doubt here and assume the american landscape and fat civy models are indirectly linked suggestions.

CanadianTerror 0 Posted September 3, 2004 That's true. Another example would be if someone asked for a model who had bad teeth and all the Brits got all up in arms because they'd automaticallty assume it was aimed at them and their bad chicklets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted September 3, 2004 Even though it's a valid point I don't think mentioning other stereotypes is going to help matters here. Even raising them offends people. I think a locking of this topic is looking pretty certain now... even more so than before . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdog~ 0 Posted September 3, 2004 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/tankieboy/Smilies/flamebait.jpg[/im flipflopper =) None the less, ignoring the fat people part, I think that a US themed addon would be great. I considered for a time doing my own hometown of Encinitas but a sheer lack of time and large size of this growing city, it never happened. And I suck at models. And it's too hilly. And the list goes on and on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebns72 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Being an american, I got a chuckle out of the fat people thing Anyway, on a US themed island, though there aren't really alot of islands specifically designed to portray the US, but somehow I got a US feeling when playing gaia There are also some good islands with a US feeling, some parts of snakeisland remind me of maine for some reason But still, I believe there should definately be a few US themed islands...

BoweryBaker 0 Posted September 3, 2004 There are some places on the East Coast of the United States that have islands which could be remade into ofp. Maybe Manhattan island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Well some variation in civilians would be nice ,right now they all look like a homogenious Slavic bunch of guys. (bohemians maybe?) Some Chinese civilians ,usually  bit smaller than other people and having other eyes ,some North African and central african types of persons usually more black ,some latino's usually called Jezus or jose (pronounced: Geesus or Gosé) Some traditionally clothed Bavarians usually holding a Half a liter Beer and a Bratwurst ,some Dutchy's with klomps and a boll of cheese ,some French with a silly hat and puffy pants with suspenders.Some Canadian mounty's and lumberjacks.Some Indians with nothing more than a towel around their waist and one on their head ,Muslim woman in Burkha's ,Australians in Bush gear alla crocodile Dundee. Yes i know these are all steriotype's (i'm dutch btw ,well Flemmisch actually) that doesn't mean they wouldn't be cool to have as civilians ,call it a multi cultural country. And while were at it ,id would always like a groups of Hare Krischna's or 10 Elvisses to run over with a car in the city's. Guys in bussiness suits are lacking to ,woman in sexy clothing ,kids in general or old folks ,... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HOBOMAN 0 Posted September 3, 2004 ciao from edi, i would like to sugest to addon makers to do a little island in Us style, Â and some people soldiers/civilians with fat body. Is anynone interrested to do?ciao to all ofp friends edi you express an extremly rude bias that americans are fat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted September 3, 2004 hmm - first i thought like everybody about the fat people meaning in this post, but after HOBOMAN's reminder quote of the edi's request i rather think that he's just forgotten to mention the thin ppl request. edi was in no way saying that all units should be fat, when he requested: some people soldiers/civilians with fat body OK, maybe a little bit of provocation is still with his post  But then again you Americans should see it more as positive critism and some kind of motivation to finally start moving your arses again  :edit - no offence meant here btw ~S~ CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobra@pulse 0 Posted September 3, 2004 Which counrty is edi from and how long has he been speeking english. No offence but that might be another reason for people miss reading the post. Anyway, it was two different ideas. |Read teh topic title, "ideas for addons", that being plural, and to me they dint sound connected anyway, OFP is to normal in human phyisic.
