Actually, you fail to understand that I already know this. The fact still remains that young teenagers DO play this game, and read/post on the forums. You know, it really doesn't matter how many young teenagers play or read these forums, they do. Graal is for all ages, it states this on the website, this is not news....
I am glad to see all ages playing.

How many young teens do you see posting on the forums? :whatever:

Do you believe everything you read? I wasn't aware that a game with people dueling with swords and guns and being sliced and shot and bleeding and dying was for all ages. I guess I learned something today.

It's perfectly okay for 13 year olds to shoot eachother and bleed on Graal, but it's not okay for them to hear the f word. :rolleyes:

I think you might need to go re-read the things I have said....

Oh, is that why you made this thread? To question the rules?
Look, what you just said has nothing to do with the age groups that visit graal or the forums, and I am not about to have this argument again...

No, I made this thread so that people could get an idea of the age bracket for the majority of posters here.

What I just said has everything to do with what I just quoted you on. You just made a statement that Graal is for all ages and I just gave you examples of how it's not. Now instead of admitting that Graal might not be for all ages, you're going to avoid my point and say you don't want to have an "argument".

Otherwise I will take your silence as that you do think Graal with it's sword slashing and gun shooting and killing is for all ages.

Moonie said something about people who read the forums and do not post. Man everyone on the internet has the ability to do that. Shiz everyone on the internet has to ability to hit a Pr0n site here and there as well no matter the age.

I started to play this game when I was 10/11 though. And I have to say at that age I was doing worse things than I do now lol.

No, I read. That was in response to your post before mine.

*sigh* I'm not saying in my personal opinion that Graal is for all ages. On the website, under "What is Graal?" It has this paragraph:

"Graal was designed by Cyberjoueurs for online gamers between 12 years old to 65 years young. The concept of Graal is to provide a fun alternative to the proliferation of shooter games available today. Here are some of the features in Graal"

So, ok, maybe it isn't for all ages. Very young chiildren, according to the paragraph, shouldn't play it, and I believe parental concent is required (yea, right) for under 13.

When I read the thread, I took it to be a poll for the userbase of Graal. Your post did not say the userbase for the forums.
Yea, the average active poster seems to be young adults. If this is what you intended to get from the poll, ok. I'm not arguing that. I already knew this.

Weren't you guys acting like the vast majority here were under 18 a year?

Hmmm If we take out all admins and people who make themself older ... :D

Well Mystic and Pooper are just lying so I counted them as like 13.

No. Some of you read things the way you want to read them. The point has always been who can, and do, play Graal, and who can, and do, view the forums. It really doesn't matter what the majority is that actually post a lot on the forums.

Others could be lying also. There is no way of telling...

by that logic you could also say people are lying that they are young ;)

Absolutely.

So our little post conversation is pretty much useless, along with this thread. lul

Oh, crap. I started at 8, still no concent ^^

:whatever:

I gotta wait 25 years for you to stop playing? Damn X_X.

Probably longer. ;) >_<

lol going by Darlene's logic, we're all liars!

:rolleyes:

Um, where did I say that? I didn't.

You're basically implying that this poll isn't proof of anything other than the fact that we could all be lying about our age.

The only reason that I can think of you having for being that skeptical is that you don't want to admit that you might be wrong.

What Graal is trying to be:

http://www.esrb.org/images/ratingsymbol_e.gif EVERYONE
Titles rated E (Everyone) have content that may be suitable for ages 6 and older. Titles in this category may contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence and/or infrequent use of mild language.

What Graal actually is:

http://www.esrb.org/images/ratingsymbol_t.gif TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.

Which is why it's confusing as to why "suggestive themes" and "crude humor" and "strong language" are not allowed on the forums yet it's found in the game, and also that the agreement clearly states you should be 13 or older yet you're trying to pass the game off as if it's for anyone.

You say "anyone" could view the forums. Well golly gosh, anyone can view a porno site preview page if they typed in the URL. Are you really trying to say that we can't have PG-13 content on the forums because 10 year olds might find the site? >_<

dude i've seen 13 year olds on gunbound yelling things like **** and **** all over UN, Era, etc. i understand graal's perspective of keeping the forum clean...but honestly, you're ignoring what the majority of the users here are. :/

if i all a post stupid i get in trouble for that? come on moonie be more reasonable :P

I didn't say that or imply that. I basically said it is a possibility.

I agree this is what Graal should be considered as.

This isn't my choice, as I have said a million times. This is the owner of Graal's choice, yet I am continually attacked for it. I just respect the owner of the games wishes, which I don't find hard to do.

I don't think it is necessarily allowed in the game. It is just too hard to enforce because not enough people care to do it.

I already copy and pasted what it says on the website. Which is for ages 12-65?

That doesn't mean Graal should allow that kind of stuff just because it could be found elsewhere.

I'm not trying to say anything except that the majority of people viewing the forums may not be adults, I have no way of knowing.

If Unixmad decided to make the forums more PG13, he would/should close them from anyone except registered members who have agreed that they are 13 or older.

I am unsure what it is you want from me here, as I replied to what the thread was actually about based on your starting post, and you turned it into something else.

You're both wrong, there's a new rating for Content may change during play experience.

That's why this is called a sample. Christ, if the average who post are over 18, then the average who view are over 18 most likely.

According the the 3rd logical outcome of the inverted property of atomic masses divided by the square root of pi, no one gives a flying sh*t about the age of people on this forum.
I fail to understand why you guys could possibly try to remove the swear filters from the site and make the game 'legitimately' for 13+ only. There IS 'inappropriate' content spewed all across Graal (as with any other popular MMORPG), and I'm sure you can find as much as your heart desires. All Unixmad wants to do is make the game appeal to a wider audience and, frankly, Graal is made for a younger audience. The thing that keeps the older players here, is the community. Older players don't exactly find "OMG S S S D A SLASH OMG KOOL YA" the most inviting part of this game. However, the younger players are here for the 'thrill' or the 'kick' of the game, and not for the community. However, for the community to develop, there needs to be those younger users, otherwise the older players will eventually quit and Graal will die out.
I really think this is the last thing that should be focused on in Graal. We should be trying to get more development done, and not try to make it legitimate for us to swear. Just bypass the god damn thing if you are honestly that desperate to do it, I'm sure no one will be excruciating insulted.

Looking at some of those poll results, I can see that quite a few people are not putting their correct age =D

You sure are full of yourself to sit there and state what older and younger players enjoy. I really don't think that's your job to decide. You write out this big long post and then state things matter-of-factly, except they aren't facts, they are your very weak opinions.

Anyone else finding it interesting that those who listed themselves in the 13-16 range are usually the most fould mouthed people on these forums?

Demisis isn't really thirteen or younger, is he?

I'm not sure, but he's one of the cooler 13 year-olds I know.

117 voters isnt impressive for an online game.

I'm sure every person who reads these forums voted. Positive, actually.

I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Oh, god. You're right. I must be an ignorant idiot. Like Mystic.

I have failed. :[
