Ok ok ok... I haven't read the entier thread yet, because it's long (haha.. that hasn't stopped me before..) but any ways..

I do think that it's stupid that people run around calling people "***gets" and such... and especially the Pokemon names.... and please, no one say anything about my name, because it's not a Pokeman.

It's pronounced Gun Mun.

Japanese spelling so that's why... kinda like Gon from Tekken 3 :)

Any ways.... I do agree that the age limit should be about 15 or so... I'm almost 16 :) and I'm an Admin... Shame on me.... I'm too young.... lol

cheaterzx22 08-12-2001 12:11 PM

Of course how would an age limit stop anyone? instead of clicking that they're 10 they'd click 16. Any little kid that wanted to could just lie.

vovavziggy 08-12-2001 06:44 PM

I'm....
 
I'm __, Well, actually only one person on graal knows my age. The ones who don't give me a couple years older. There are 18 year olds who act like 12 year olds and 12 year olds that act like 18 year olds. It's the personality that counts. ;)

Evolve 08-12-2001 08:02 PM

you have to be over 13 so you sound like a MAN in iparty *cough* sparkplug *cough*

konidias 08-12-2001 09:13 PM

Get a ride on the cluebus. Most of the people massing stupid stuff like what you described are not 7 or 10, or 11.. they are 15-18 years old.

Luigi223 08-12-2001 09:57 PM

stefan doesn't care, he just want's your money:rolleyes:

No one cares about age, they care about brains... and stefan doesn't care about our money, he needs it to keep graal going.

The truth is, there should only be an age limit if the content of the game is so harsh that one needs to be enforced. In most cases it is, so Graal2001 doesn't allow people under 13 years old to sign up without parental consent. However, age does not reflect the maturity of most people. Although it can reflect the maturity of the majority of people. For example, most 11 year olds are annoying and immature. A handful are not. Therefore there should be no age limit enforced instead of the one already in place. When people mass garbage like "so and so is a such and such," tell them to shut up and ignore them. You don't have to turn off all mass messages, because you may miss out on important events/information. Just ignore the user. This topic could have been avoided should the author have had some common sense. I have spoken...
Very good. I think people miss that ignore button too much.

Your post clearly coves what I was intending pretty much to say.

*hands you an award*

Amen.

Graal doesn't need a limited age requirement, it needs a limited IQ requirement.

Either of them would take out the annoying people. (most of them =p)
I.Q. TEST!!!

Yeah, but do you realize that many people like yourself run around Graal just TRYING to make people annoyed? Little kids thrive on this somehow. I think it may involve how they were raised by bad parents in this politically correct world of the USA.

NeoNPL 08-13-2001 02:29 AM

Im 13 and i dont mass "You ***git i hate joo" i take offense to your "Only 16 yr olds can use the internet without drooling on the keyboard durrrrrrrrrrr now im goin to pick my nose" apporoach

Graal is a COMPUTER GAME it contains no OBSCENE IMAGES so it is safe for ANYONE TO USE UNDER THE CHILD PROTECTIONACT.

So in short:

U R A ***** LEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH OTHER PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN YOU I BET YOU THINK ONLY OVER 16'S SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO ONLINE ASWELL

08-13-2001 02:48 AM

I'm 14. I don't really take that post offensive since I know that I am mature enough to be considered a normal Graal player. Wanna know my opinion?

I.Q. Test and an essay.

Fine then an IQ test. TrueheaT you talk about how much of an ******* I am, but look at the MP3 post you made. There's no way in hell I'd let you play if I owned this game. Then again I don't own it though.

You'd have had to been there.

Lycia 08-13-2001 04:51 AM

I'm thinking that maybe people who are old enough to possess a credit card should be on P2P servers.

That would be like, 18, maybe?

That may improve the quality of this game, no?

Dunno, there are still people who are older than 18 and they're still immature. Although you have a point. I am really starting to think there should be a censoring system for Graal, and there should be alot more police acts against the idiots of Graal.

You can possess a credit card when you're under 18.

GraalWarrior2k1 08-13-2001 06:20 AM

I agree
 
These little immature kids should not be playing graal. They ruin the experience for others, and are a pain. I think only people 13 and up should be allowed to play. Maybe even 14.. =\

Yea my sister got one, when she was 17. And they make this "VISA Bux" thing for kids.

FatherDante 08-13-2001 06:29 AM

Well, if it's Japanese pronunciation it certainly isn't Gun Mun, the language doesn't even have those sounds.

As for age... well, age is an infallible indicator of experience. But, as far as IQ tests, most of Graal's administrators, wether you respect the fact or not, have very high IQs and are very good at communicating. People don't progress very far without it.

The real problem is that many of our administrators are extremely emotionally unintelligent. The important factor in determining the quality of a person as a player or as an administrator is their emotional skill. And, sadly, even many of the smartest Graalians, most of whom are on this message board, are horribly emotionally incompetent.

GraalWarrior2k1 08-13-2001 06:35 AM

Well said Dante. I too have to agree, but what i have noticed is with age, comes knowledge. I remember when i started playing graal, i was just as annoying as some people are today. I soon learned that by acting like that, i would get me no where. So i cleaned up my act, and look at me now...
Although, maybe after registering for an account you should take an IQ test, and have to be over a certain number to qualify.

FatherDante 08-13-2001 06:40 AM

Of course I won't say anyone. But think about people you know on Graal and ask yourself: "How does this person handle his emotions? How does he/she respond to annoyances or difficult situations?"

It's relatively easy to see for yourself wether they are talented in maintaining a proper attitude.

GraalWarrior2k1 08-13-2001 06:42 AM

Your a wise man, dante.

08-13-2001 07:10 AM

Dante will pass :)

GraalWarrior, age has nothing to do with it. Maturity. People that can handle idiots other ways then saying "please jump off a cliff."

Maybe just an essay. Better yet, a 2-3 page essay. The not-so-liked-and-smart people would be like "wtf man i ain't doing no esay" and QUIT.

If I was Police Chief, I would make idiocy (is that a word) a jailable offense.

Hell, it offends me! :(

Edit: But then again, there is just having fun. That is not being an idiot, that's being humourous. ;)

Neonight 08-13-2001 07:18 AM

Anyway since I started this thread:

Cross out the age.
Give an IQ test or a maturity test.


THE END
