One thing that is pretty laffo about Tygem is that despite having a Taiwan server, there is no accompanying flag - I've seen flags for all sorts of small, ill-represented nations but I wonder if we'll ever see a ROC one

There are some political issues related to the Taiwanese flag. Perhaps tygem wants to avoid them.

Haha. So discuss politics, religion, or file-sharing and you get banned? Sounds like freedom to me, comrade. :salute: :salute: :salute:


That's misleading, comrade :D

Lifein19 OK => Chinese go server OK

does not equivalent to

Lifein19 not OK => Chinese go server not OK


Provok3 wants to know the lines. I pointed him a circle, even smaller, that he is familiar and comfortable with and feels easy to deal with.

I apologize for insinuating that you were implicating the inverse.

Well, the OP was asking about issues arising from having so many chinese nationals on the server, and I thought I would point out one clear example of Tygem having to cater to their peculiarities.
