According to this forum yes, because pictures that include alcohol/smoking tend to be deleted for a very stupid reason.

The no-alcohol rule has been ignored by many servers on Graal, and mostly just applies to the forums these days. Just like the no-profanity rule, it kind of assumes that Graal's audience is unable to deal with the subject in a mature manner.

Instead of having a rule against it, there should be a disclaimer instead which states that Linux Cyberjoueurs does not personally support these things, even though their users might.

Or just, you know, not really mention it at all like a normal game forum. Esp one where the vast majority of posters are adults.

Well, that's kind of a big assumption. Especially considering the age required for players to join is 13. We don't have any actual numbers that prove the majority of Graal players are adults, even though I personally agree with you there.

As a safeguard, Graal ought to do what most other MMOs do and just use the phrase 'Game Experience May Change During Online Play' in their EULA. It's a very useful clause that effectively distances a company from any negative content presented in their game.

I said posters, and you can view old polls to get a general picture. Not only that but those polls are years old, so you can only imagine how much older it is nowadays.

Yep agreed. All this is basic game 101, I don't know why we're even discussing this here o_o.

If you are asking me if I believe that it is influencing their want to try it, yes...
And then if you take into account the desire to have what they are told they cannot have... Yes..

I do believe people who don't have others drinking or smoking around them are less likely to participate lol.. Unless of course they see it in the media, and I'm not saying they won't see it in stores, but I don't think they would have the desire to want it if it is seen in a store.

But I also believe sex would be less of a problem if parents were more open about it, and it started younger while the parents are more knowledgeable of the happenings.. Since it would be better for one to have sex in a place that is safe and known, than out somewhere random, or in a car lol.. Not saying the parents should watch them or anything...

Kind of like drinking, if kids started around 18, they would most likely be around their parents and less crazy with it while they ARE out on their own.. Since they have already experienced it..

Those last two paragraphs are for the most part off topic though.. Yes, I believe that it is an influence.

So what about Graal having swords and guns?
If showing cartoon beers being consumed influences children to try it, I can only imagine what having a game that revolves around killing people with a sword or gun might do!

[Tricxta]

I believe if some kind of message was being conveyed to people under the legal drinking age on graal it'd be that beer is bad for you

As classic shows, it does no favours for you. Take that david!, kay?

unless they see it in the media...drinking and smoking is in tons of TV shows and movies, not even rated MA or R TV/movies. seeing someone drink a beer and have a good time in a tv program/movie will be more influencial than seeing a character in a game (graal) drink a beer and have no effect on the character.

contradicting.... if they drink around there parents at 18 it is OK but if they drink a pixel beer on a videogame it is an influence to drink and be stupid....whatok?







ALSO what thor is saying about guns and swords should prove your theory wrong.kids want guns and swords...but just because they see it on a videogame does not mean they are going to go around stabbing and shooting people.

WTF is wrong with you people? Why is this even a discussion? It is just frivolous arguing.

Because a lot of Graal users think they have to argue with someone in every post to look cool.

In addition to Drunken Stupor, Sumo Island is now released, and likewise is publicly hostable by players.

The studios warp room contains 2 slashable plus/minus buttons to alternate the subsequent event level, eventually there can be a scrollable GUI to accompany these once they become time consuming. The warp is automatically set to the relevant level whenever a GC begins summoning for a studio event.

The important progress here and with Drunken Stupor wasn't so much about making events themself, but preparing the foundation resources to be re-used among all of the events.
Notable resources accompanying Sumo include:

• The ability for the host to set points to or warp out players via middle click GUI.
• The top 3 point earners being displayed on the screen, in addition to your own tally.
• A GUI containing the ability for the host to enable/disable health loss (PK mode) and weapon usage, both of these have a bearing on HP + HUD display. Also included is the ability for the host to heal or strip guild tags among all players.
• A bottom right display options button for disabling nicknames/HUD, similarly to within Team Events.
• A start/stop button for the host, which invokes an automatic countdown.
• Screen message displaying eliminations, plus eliminators where applicable.
