I have noticed when asking for a cw in some channels the first response is quite a few times in finnish, when I tell them I'm not finnish they respond with quite poor English. I'm Dutch and here in The Netherlands we get taught English really early, it seems to me finnish people don't get educated a lot in the English language. Maybe this is why .fi wants to play vs .fi only because they understand eachother better.
This may be a longshot, but hey I've seen weirder things.
Thats not just .fi there are loadsa other countries who have the same problems

That was by far the most retarded argument I've heard so far in this debate.

Maybe we've been taught different kinds of English because I'm having the same problem most of the time, j and M.I speak English even better than I do, but there's someone like hmm, I'll give you a log.

Royal, are you bored? so what if someone's English isn't A+, especially if it isn't their mother tongue.
or how well do you speak Dutch?

Well, that Madzoid dude is 13-years-old, so he really can't help it. Besides, English isn't the only thing he doesn't master..
But ok - I really doubt that the language barrier is the reason that some Finnish clans won't play us.. but hey, just go say like this: "Matsia!?!?" and you're all good..

You obviously missed my point.
And this thread is again one which tries to make whole finnish aq2scene stereotypic, myself, i dont mind is it boomtown or edome or tnnet but if my other mates dont want to play in there, there's nothing i can do about it.
And this it this way, IF you had good server in sweden and loads of clans, would you accept some finnish clans challenges or play in good servers versus fellow clans?

After some DK actionquakers made the nice denmark aq2 channel, namely #aq2.dk, some sweden guys made a channel too:
But, obviously they are following the same policy like the finnish guys:
--- Cannot join #aq2sweden (You are banned).
At least I can now visit the SoV and GOM (and more) style guys from .dk:
#aq2.dk

Hmm i dont think is this good enough explanation to you, but this is good enough for me
Thats a good logic!!!
Lets all be nice to our fellow clans
I like you too!
And after that it was so lame from each side, not even nearly gg. After every round, the team had won put many smileys and shouted "noob hahaha" and shit like that, bg, worstgame, wg.
And thats the story of today, no more foreign clans for 4 months
C'mon, flame me.

Good. It proves that our channel has filled it's purpose, that is discluding you from it.
