Marqsaynt grins "i have always found marriage as simply an evolved version of slavery... *winks* and i like to consider myself a liberator."
 Eublepharis laughs loudly
 Agara says: You need help, Marq
 Eublepharis says: There you go, that should be your title Marq, "Liberator"
 Marqsaynt nods to Eublepharis "i like it."

And your post only proves that you are preopiniated and that your parents didn't teach you how to behave in public.
...
Yes, you are right Kerol, when I was 3, my parents let me play Teen (13 or older) rated games with a lot of violence and drugs in them, my school sucked, and my friend's parents were equally clueless...

Since I am this way maybe I should apply for a Game Master + Dev position, could you give me a reference?   \\o//

It's time someone heard from an 11 year old's point of view. First of all, I have no idea how a drug dealer ended up in a medieval world. Second, thieves are a part of life. Ya hear it on the news, ya hear it from other people. Third of all, my parents think I'm responsible to play this game by myself(I'v been playing a teen rated game since I was 3) Now take Rayman for instance, Rayman 3 to be precise. In Rayman 3 theres guns, violence, weapons, Globox gets drunk on prune juice, and ofcourse, more guns. And it's also rated E. I'v played most of the games in the B&W series, and my friend (Also 11) plays Fable on her Xbox. And you won't belive what some people say at school...... My point is that 11 year olds play alot of things that have ALOT of violence...... Among other things........
So your parents don't do a good job raising you, your school sucks, and your friend has some equally uncaring parents...

Your post only proves your parents should spend more time on your education and less money getting you the newest violent, drug crazed, with the best graphics games on the market.

Or maybe it proves they should started with a dog first, then moved on to a baby...  ;D

Bad player doesn't really describe you...

I think stupid or moronic describes it better since you admitted in public to be breaking the game rules and yet asks if that was a problem.  ;D

i kinda didnt understand what you meant Kix could you give me a better example ???
He already gave you an excellent example of what he meant, if you don't take the read and understand his post, I doubt making him post again will help.

and i was getting tired of reading through 10 posts of "yeh" or "i agree" just to find a usefull (Phin's) post  ;)
Dude, I thought you only skipped English classes, now I see the math teacher didn't see you much either.  ;D

Warnings about what, though? We don't have anything that would warrant a rating above "PG," and we don't feel any need to create content that would raise it.
There was a thread about the "bugger" word, that was something above a "PG" rating.
The RPing aspect of the game is above a "PG" rating.
The content today doesn't have anything offensive, but are you willing to restrict the development so it will never have anything above it?
The fact that beer is served in a tavern.
The fact that there are guild that rp robbers and certain cases even drug dealers.
The fact that the kids might get solicited.
The fact that parents will one day come to you (as they always do) and say that since this is a PG rated game, you should always provide an environment were their 10 year old can safely play.
The fact that this is not a commercial game (maybe it will be one day?) and so, it doesn't absolutely have to grab the largest amount of players available expecting to get some cash or other type of support in return.
The fact you wouldn't have to spend as much time babysitting as a moderator.

Those are just some I could think of, no doubt people could come up with more...

A chance in rating would not mean necessarily that younger children wouldn't play or that they should get banned.  It would only serve as a waning to parents and also give more freedom to the devs and gm's.

You can ask, How would the GM and Devs enforce such rating?  Well think of movies that are PG, as oposed to movies that are rated R.

Are all the R rated movies nasty with sex and violence all over them?   Nope.
Are younger children allowed into theaters were R rated movies are shown?   You bet as long as they meet certain conditions.
Would a parent scream at the Theater owner for allowing her young 13 yo boy into a R rated movie?    Of course, but the owner can say that they do all they can to prevent children for coming in, and it is the parents job to keep tabs on their child, not the theater.

How can a free, opensource, running on a charity server, game like Planeshift enforce the rating?  Simple, have some warnings in the download page.  And another in the players manual.  The rest are up to the parents.

(As an added note, I am thirteen years old.)
As an added not, don't your parents care that their thirteen year old boy spend hours and hours playing a game with complete strangers that also happen to be 10 or even 20 years older then the him?

Did I see someone doing the Moonwalk?   ;D

In a perfect world were nobody will take advantage of your good intention because they are not lazy as heck to look for the answer for themselves, sure, there are no stupid questions.  Let me know if you find that world, I don't think it's near Hydlaa anywhere.

Here is a good question taken from the Default Safari Online - Managing Software Requirements:
Quote
One of our friends was once a tour bus guide in the Four Corners area, an area defined by the common borders of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. The tour bus route included the majestic peaks of the La Plata mountain range and the sprawling ancient Anasazi ruins of Mesa Verde and the surrounding area. Tourists' questions are a constant source of amusement among the tour guide crew and create a certain folk lore of the tour business. In one summer season, our friend's favorite silliest-question-ever-posed-by-a-stupid-tourist was, "So, ummm, how many undiscovered ruins are there?"

LOL, amazing, out of six replies, you were the only to get it, my bad, I should learn to keep my posts really short ...

Nah just use a  >o), a  :o, a  :whistling:, or some such thing to give a clue.
I'll do that next time, thx  ;)

The guy's being sarcastic :P (I hope)

Why should we limit this fun place based on age? You are the one that hasn't provided a single good reason.. :] In fact many people have explained why this would be a bad idea - such as limiting future devs, cutting out a lot of young talent, missing the chance to nurture good RP in new generations.

Then next time when someone whines about "buggers", you should apologize for not seeing it before hand and immediately remove it from the game code (kill the server and only restart it when it's fixed), because the current rating says this game is for ages 10 and up.

If someone rps a thief, or some other form of bad guy, ban him (or her) because it would be a bad influence on the children.

Please don't forget when someone makes a texture (or model) that shows a tiny bit of the chars body (aside from the face), kick the guy from the dev group, and curse his name!

I would totally wear make up (and have when drunk (gothic)) if it wasnt for the fear of being beaten senseless by chavs :)

Men should be able to wear make up, tight clothes and even dresses IMO without fear of having the crap kicked out of them.
I knew I should go visit the UK for some reason.  Now i know why, the women there must be disgusted with the men dressing and acting like them (or some just "wanting to"), and want the real thing.

General Discussion / Just add a disclaimer, that's all
« on: December 01, 2006, 09:14:25 pm »
I believe Planeshift needs a disclaimer, saying this game is intended for an adult audience.

Then if children play, that's their parents or guardians problem.  If they kill someone or themselves and the game gets blamed, you could always point to the disclaimer.  Not to mention we would put an end to the whiners with their “Think of the children” argument.

Then we could add a few more “buggers” in the NPC chat, along with with more gory graphics and maybe even some provoking clothing for the females (heck or no clothing at all).

First and foremost, I am a parent, and as suck do not approve of bad words, also this is a game that anyone on the net can play, so a little research into names and words, that are going to be used in game please. Second, dont know about you, but will not even let my son [18) use that word or any other word, that could mean a swear word, IT is called teaching your children to behave properly.
...
*gets in position...*

*Eublephairs transforms himself in a caring African American mother of 12*

I am a parent, just like janner, and I am very upset by how your game is teaching my children to use inappropriate words.  I like janner and the others in this thread never use any obscene word in my house, actually, we use "no" spoken words at all.  I was so sick of people cussing, that I forced my children to use sign language and I want all the developers, GM's, and players to start using sign language in the game for the sake of my 12 children, and while you are at, please take away the fighting (what is that teaching anyway?) and remove the breasts from the female characters, my boys stare at them for hours.  Please, think of the children...
