[quote="MONTEL"]It deliberately creates race division It then pits those races against each other and makes race war the main focus of late game Races are not allowed to interact in a friendly manner, have alliances or any dealings I dream of a world where Humans and Devils can get along, free from the prejudice and bigotry of today. [/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]Very interesting take on the game. Although I don't not believe it is intentional, when looked at from this angle It is possible to extract racist undertones. I would love to hear brad coles thoughts on this.[/quote]

[quote="RAMBO"]I think the word your looking for is Speciesism not racism.[/quote]

[quote="NEBULAA"]Racism, Speciesism these are just silly words! I completely see where you are coming from Montel. I have a dream that one day this server will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and devils are created equal. I have a dream that one day by the fountain of TyT, the sons of humans and the sons of devils will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will one day play in a server where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. martin luther king..[/quote]

[quote="STYLE"]I have a dream that one day people who made it on the list actually lived in fear. I dream of a day the list actually means something! I dream of a day the people on the list live in fear of leaving tyt.[/quote]

[quote="ADVOCATE"]Soma has been understood, on my part, to be a war between heaven and hell. Between the fallen and righteous. Soma isn't inherently racist in my view; instead it appeals to human nature in the sense of 'Good guys vs Bad guys'. Yes, every-week and indeed anytime at all, these two sides collide but this is in the name of war and beliefs, it is for the sake of the games end, namely, to establish the rein of heaven or hell. Where this game has so much scope is when we touch on the storyline above. Think of all the extra quests and events we could think up when we latch our imaginations on the fight between heaven and hell! For instance, this server is primly placed to implement a quest that only the strongest players could enlist on. A quest which those select few are - for the sake of their race or guild - required to kill the Devil equivelent and in return Tyt or Pande respectively, are rewarded with monsters or shops. Going back to the point, Soma is clever in the way it appeals to us players. It isn't however 'Racist'. (Although some players clearly are ha.) [/quote]

[quote="MONTEL"]The trouble is it is called Race v Race.[/quote]

[quote="AYMANOV"]Somarians! I have a dream! a dream where devils and humans co-exist and live side-by-side, a dream where once a week they engage in a friendly game of capture the castle, and later hunt side by side in silent, starry (***) harmony! [/quote]

[quote="KEKKET"]Would be cool to have a caste war side by side to kill certain amount of mobs and bosses within 1 hour to obtain a frendly map [/quote]
