18+? Age requirements.

[mansa]

Isn't this sorta referenced in the Overview and the Quickstart webpages?

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

I'd be interested in getting some demographic data about our playerbase in light of this topic.

I have a hunch that we have, on average, a much older playerbase than most MUDs. I'd also suspect the vast majority of our players are over 18 anyway.

Any survey should also cover what age we were when we started playing. I may be 21 now, but I was a little baby 15-year-old when I first started playing.

[AmandaGreathouse]

I had a short-lived elven Tuluki merchant when I was 18. She wandered around the ruins and died of thirst. I didn't return until I was 21.

[brytta.leofa]

Started when I was 24 or 25.

Hey guys I started playing at <certain age>. Just thought I'd let you know.

[Tisiphone]

Again, most of you aren't paranoid enough.

How paranoid should we be?

[Zoan]

Fifty paranoid.

[Riev]

I thought one Noid was enough, but we have Fifty Pairs of Noid now?

PEOPLE, PLEASE. THINK OF THE PIZZAS.

[fourTwenty]

Perhaps it is the noid who should aviod me. 

[Riev]

Fuck, guys, we are so witty.

Appropriate Odd Urge for this thread.

I want to make a new Merchant House called En-Bee-See. With a black ops department called, uh, Dateline.

My go-to-guy would be an assassin named Kriss'Hahnson who sneaks into rooms where people are having mud sex and goes OOC to ask ages before sneaking back out.

I call being Kriss'Hahnson

The Original Poster of this thread, like Bebop who started a similar thread, and like many other players who have left, builds a sound argument here.

[Thomoto]

Hahahahah.


To be clear, the intention of this post is the same as the last one by Bebop?

It was already resolved. There is (and has been for around a year IIRC) this blurb in the Consent help file:

Notes:
You must be 18 years of age or older to ask for or give consent for sexual roleplay.

No, it's not enforceable. But it does warn people that if they are NOT 18 or older, then they are knowingly breaking the rules and if their mama catches them and complains, mama will be informed that their 12-year-old daughter needs more supervision if it bothers her.

I can agree with that. Thank you.

Did you necro a twelve year old thread to basically say "+1"?

Have there been any known cases of minors playing this game in the last decade?

It just seems like such a non-issue. Kids do not play MUDs in our day and age, and on the remote chance that they did, they see way worse on TikTok or whatever.

Christ almighty.

[Alesan]

Have there been any known cases of minors playing this game in the last decade?

Yes.

[Hauwke]

I know I did when I was a minor. Not one anymore, but still.

Also, why was the thread necro'd after 12 years? Seems like it would be easier to simply start a new one at this point.

[Thomoto]

Have there been any known cases of minors playing this game in the last decade?

....Uh, yeah, me.

[Barsook]

I know this was 12 years ago, but I was 17 (three months before my birthday) when I joined back in 2008.

I'm 24 now.

[Blink]

I'm 24 now.

  I don't believe you. I recall RP'ing with your Kadian merchant back in 2003.  There is no way you were only 7 years old then.

You see, Mansa is a smart man and was a smart child. He started playing when he was two out of his disgust for *toys*, got his third karma at 5, and his 40th karma at ten. He is now one of the vampires from vampire land called staff. And has root access to ginka and the internet. How does this not surprise you?
