Are Children Mature Enough to RP? Why worry about "for all family"?

[Holdan]

Lol, brits are funny... no offence, ya just are...

[Idoru]

I hate chavs. I really, really do. Nothing worse. They are the scum of the earth and the worst thing is they are what this generation will be remembered for. The 60s had hippies, we have chavs

Aye, I know what you mean.

Lol, brits are funny... no offence, ya just are...

non taken at all, eccentric is the term i believe,  the previous posters response I do take offense at though

[Holdan]

yeah, though I have no idea what a chav is...

but im sure its an exageration...

btw, when I say brits are funny, I mean they have good comedians... like canada... not that their funny strange or anything.... just trying to clear things up with my last remark.

No, unfortunately it isn't... I can provide proof.

[zanzibar]

No, unfortunately it isn't... I can provide proof.

I read some of the articles on that website.  So a "chav" is a young, uncultured hoodlum?

[Gharan]

No, unfortunately it isn't... I can provide proof

There's a reference to my hometown on that site.

We have soooo many Chavs that anyone who wears thattype of clothes is automatically branded a chav andd the way some of them talk, don't even get me started.

The characature on that link looks like a gentrified gangsta rapper hehhehhhe

I dont mean to break the flow of conversation, but....

@lordraleigh: after reading your post introducing your character, it has lead me to believe that you have not met some of the better RPers here that are younger than you are.
You are entittled to your oppinion, as am I, and hope you dont take offence to this. You have made a judgment far to quick IMHO, without knowing the age of some of the better RPers here. As has been stated in this thread, everyone needs a place to start much like you obviously have just done. This is my first taste of an RP game of any kind, and I was welcomed with open arms. I am a very green and unskilled RPer, but I know that, unlike some who think they are very talented.

Ease up, enjoy life, and enjoy being a kid

I was waiting for an on-topic post Thanks Laragorn - let's take this as a sign to get back to the original subject please, from now on.

I definately disagree with this talk of younger people not being able to rp.  Ive meet my share of adults on ps who act just the same way some of the younger players do in regards to rping.  In my opinion theres always an exception to the rule.  Not all adults can rp well and some children can rp fantastically.  One of the best rpers Ive meet is only 14 and it would be a shame to lose him as well as any others.

Five words of which ignorance of can destroy the great and protect the terrible:

Age does not equal maturity.

"Some who think they are talented"...

Misjudgement, I guess I should think of a better presentation for my Alt character(That avoids bad judgements) ... Played RPGs with developed characters for 6 years... I know how characters are developed... much deeper than what it seems superficially... perhaps it is a case of when someone become jealous... or perhaps just misunderstanding... my RPing IC will prove the contrary(I am not very good with presentations anyway and haven't developed fully my Alt char history, I'm improvising and improving it according to criticism and suggestions and according to my sketches)... I am not saying I am a genius at RP... but this insult won't lead nowhere.
I am continually improving my skills on this and am sure that younger players willing to RP are an exception to the general rule(most plays MMO(RP?)Gs anyway, so it may seem that it isn't true)... as the same goes with the other case. (Perhaps I should give better details on the "Communitive Storywriting" about my character). Have anyone heard about psychological barriers?

"enjoy being a kid"

*/me laughs about this incredible deduction

I'm a "1337 kid" yes... if you open a discussion about serious topics... and deep philosophical content... I can prove easily I am an kid! Perhaps I will send my ID to prove that I am above 18 and thus a kid!

Or perhaps I can give you a lecture on Accounting, a very childish class! And also another one about Total Quality Management!

*/me asks to close this bad joke

[zanzibar]

Deep philosophical content usually isn't so deep.  It's either something you already know, or something you disagree with, or something you don't care about.  In every case, "deep" isn't an appropriate adjective.

[LARAGORN]

It was critisism, not an insult lordraleigh. Albeit not very constructive, but critisism none the less.
Do you honestly think that because you have knowledge in pshycology and accounting that it takes away from the fact you are a kid. Why are you taking offence to that? I envy you, I wish I was 18 again (no I'm not doing a George Burns imprestion). I still try to be a kid every day I guess what I was trying to say is dont sweat the small stuff, you have a full life ahead of you, so enjoy it.

"Jewellery
Gold Pendants

Pictured here is the classic clown pendant in all it's hideous glory! Look out for other disgusting variants such as rag dolls, teddy bears, horses, gypsy caravans, guns and a clown with a pushchair! Don't be put off it's a rainy day, Chavs will wear their pendant outside of any garment on full display!

1 Point"

maybe its cause im an american girl, and i dunnos if we have these "chavs" as prominently as there are other places, but i found it quite odd that a guy who acts all tough would wear a gold pendant with a rag doll or teddy bear on it...not that i dont beleive its possible, i jsut find it quite odd

im curious...does someone go out of their way to be a "chav"? i have never even heard of this before..to me it sounds like a fancier form of hick but i havent read barely anything
...fried chicken and mickey d's a favorite food? hnmmmm
