    At the end of the day it all comes down to point of view. I've just always been of the mindset that minors should not be subjected to or given access to depictions of graphic violence, whether it is in text or drawn. I just find it confusing that people try to play down violence, but get all up-in-arms about "smut".  That is just me though. At this point I'm done with this
    Never put passion before principle.  Even if you win, you lose.

    If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

    If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

    Just pointing out, shadow faelings came about as a result of rape.

    Anyways, definitely mature tone to much of the lore/Lusternia. Though mature doesn't have to always mean violence/sex, even if it certainly can.

    Heh, you should've seen the barrage that SWTOR got about announcing same-gender flirting in game. "My 10 year old kid plays and I am going to have to cancel his subscription if this goes in!"

    Never mind the part where the kid can choose to shock a twi'lek slave nearly to death as a matter of course or just randomly electrocute individuals that disagree with his opinion. So yes... it is all subjective. Also, that passage that was presented hardly qualifies as smut. Possibly light erotica. I've seen worse in PG-13 places.

    I do agree there's a significant discrepancy between how the general public views violence and sex, to the point serious violence can be almost comical in children's movies. (Most of the stuff in Home Alone will kill you, but it's ok they're bad guys, and they get funny looking faces from it!) Personally I don't see either as something to be shamed, they're aspects of human nature.

    Anyway that's me done steering this ship into the off-topic river. As far as Lusternia goes, it's not so much that I think the content of the game isn't for kids, but player mentality leads to situations that the majority of children (there's always that exceptional few) would simply not be in a good environment for them. Be it certain OOC clans and their content, or aspects of the game where people interact and socialise in a more mature (read mature as in the positive enforcement of mindset not mature as in the derisive referring to content not for children as "mature") Personally I know if 13 year old me was playing I would flip my shit at every death, even in PvE and would likely de-evolve into rageposting and abusive tells to other players, even my own teammates who are trying to help me improve because :RAAAAAAAAGE:

    Again, not the case of every 13 year old, but the fair majority. Spend a weekend in an open lobby CoD multiplayer and you'll see how it goes.

    Idrazil says, "Ok time to try for a baby."


    Sounds adorable, hopeful and positive right? Then you realise he's planning infanticide.
    By the way, no need to thank me for working out what that baby is for, or it's name of 'backup baby'. -Does a rendition of baby backup ribs-

    When I asked Astrasia to help me with something:

    Astrasia tells you, "Let me finish making penguin babies."


    Then much later:
    Astrasia tells you, "Made baby penguins, milked an octopus. All in a days work."

    Ha, soooo true. I had a similar conversation on my guild aether where I asked 'I'm making penguins mate' and then alcohol got involved. It was really weird. Out of character? Maybe.

    And I thought Hallifaxian discussions of aerodynamics were ridonkulous. :|
    I used to make cakes.

    Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."

    What? It was a fun discussion about the flight properties of saucers and teacups. Pretty sure my plan is still feasible, too.

    Also, bonus points for @Zouviqil for the use of the word bEsom. :P

    Zyphora tells you, "// Go abuse Maligorn!"

    You tell High Scion Zyphora Windwhisper, "(( Man what did that kid do to piss you off ))"

    Zyphora tells you, "// nothing, he's just the most fun to see abused."

    I had thought about just posting the last line of that quote, but I felt like it needed a bit of context.  And I'm still laughing my head off at it this morning at work.

    (Serenwilde): Savea says, "Arien down."

    (Serenguard): Turnus says, "Excellent."

    Two different channels, but they came one right after the other and confused me...
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Daraius said: You gotta risk it for the biscuit.

    Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

    *STATS REDACTED* esSixkdb<>-point censer avurekhos
    You point your staff at Avurekhos, and electricity crackles across its length before it discharges a bolt of blue lightning that slams into Avurekhos in an explosion of cobalt sparks.



    Uhhhh.... what?

    Sounds like a bug.  What kind of censer is it - one of the auction ones?
    Never put passion before principle.  Even if you win, you lose.

    If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

    If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

    There are other censers? The problem appears to not be in the censer itself... but in the point command:

    esSixkdb<>-point bag me
