Moonie, people are just jealous! THEY WISH THEY HAD POWER LIKE YOU! Therefore, these people attack age because it's cool to attack people on the forums.

I WISH GOOGI WAS FORUM ADMINISTRATOR. He/she knows all about the forums! I mean, he/she complained to Stefan about Moonie, but was rejected. Hahaha.

Taste it, Googi.

Other than that, Moonie, stop wondering, there is no use. Just do the job asked to do. You do a great job.

Now, I shall wait for another line from Googi that I've heard a number of times so I can laugh at her and post it on the Wiki.

Yes, I know you aren't talking about the forums, but forums are the only place from which I can get postable examples of how you have acted in the past.

Anyways, very young players also get attacked on age too. The Graal playerbase is tough, and players will attack others whenever they get opportunities to. It's possible you get attacked more often than other players of similar prominance, but it would be because age-based attacks are "easy."

Except that we're not talking about her getting attacked on the forums.

Uh, yeah. I knew what the result would be beforehand because I'd already complained to him several times before. You haven't made some kind of discovery because you happened to see it the 2247th time I complained to Stefan.

"Taste it?" This sounds like something Emily would say.

Are you looking for something like "You CrySpace Katsumoto!"

Children play games for fun, and to escape reality - a reality which includes the authority of their parents or guardians. You, Darlene, being a parent yourself, are to them a figure of authority regardless of what power you have within the Graal community. You seem to them to be the big bad demon who demands that those children go to sleep on time every night.

Plus you look a little like a vampire from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but you gain a load of stat and skill bonuses for that. :)

People attack other people without any good reason alot. Most of the time we're just kidding. :) So few older players and so many jokes at older players. WeAllLuvULongTimeGrandma

The first part is true. I highly doubt that the second part is. I don't think there's a lot of players who make a connection between age and authority on Graal.

GOOGI! U R SO KEWL!

No.

Could it be because people don't like your attitude and your age is you most identifiable characteristic?

Pretty much a ripoff of what curt said. PLAGIARISM.

Haha.


This is true. It is also hard to make a connection between age and maturity on Graal. (See the quote below for an example)

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if it turned out that Malinko was actually Blade50 or something?

It's easy to forget what was said in the third post after reading through the entire thread. It is for me, anyway. I won't do it again, sir! :(

I lol'd

I think it's the other way around. Players take an authority figure and make a connection to their age. As Apothix said, he's turning 19 soon, but as PWA I've been criticized more than once for being "too old" to play this game, etc, and I'm 19.

As has been said countless times already, I think it's your attitude that gets you judged into the like/dislike piles. Once you're there, people will say anything if they think it might get to you.

I doubt even a single person has said to their friends outside of the community "Ugh! There is this older player on Graal..." etc

Oh oh, look everyone! Malinko's doing a trick! Oh wait... it's the same trick. :frown:

In terms of younger players, I think the media has a lot to do with it. If you think about it, there is always something on the news about pedophilia, and I should imagine that kids around the Internet are often warned by their parents these days to be very weary of such. Children and younger players probably think that they are slightly at risk by being around adults in a game environment which they thought was just for children.

I'm not accusing any adult on GraalOnline of being a pedophile, but I think it is probably a reflex action for kids to display negativity to adults around Graal because they were so regularly warned by parents.

Then again, I am sure that you would do exactly the same to your kids. :)

I couldnt care about your age, but your personality. Your a bish and you wont admit when you're wrong and you make all these crap rules. If you were 18 or 80 I wouldnt care, but the way you have handled stuff dealing with me has just pissed me right off thus meaning I don't like you one bit and wish you would leave for good.

You use "your powers" far to harshly, but hey since when has my bloody oppinion being a player counted? You do stuff anyway even if you're wrong. MOOO!

I am slightly suprised that this is the first time this has been mentioned in this thread, and I do agree that kids should always be cautious.
I don't, however, think they should be downright rude and disrespectful.
They should definately be extremely careful as to what information they give out about themselves all the time.
Someone could say they are 13, and be 40. I am sure everyone here realizes that.

Yes, I have taught my kids to be extremely careful on the internet (whether they do or not is a whole different story), but I have also taught them to be respectful towards everyone, regardless of age, race, disability, etc...
Just to be careful as to not give out information about themselves which can be used to find them.
I have admitted I was wrong many times.
Also, I have made up no rules at all for Graal, so I don't know where you get that from.

Ah, yeh not made up my mistake, but perhaps stretched the meaning of rules to a point where they don't seem like the same rule anymore.
