<div class="IPBDescription">Why they shouldnt play</div> Weve all heard it on the news. Video games and violence in them cause kids to go psycho. Er... yea... right... We all know this isnt true, unless the game is everquest <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> . Children should not play NS. Why? Not because of violence, that was the purpose of the first part of this message if youve been reading it, but because they annoy the friggin crap out of me. Too many times I've commanded a game (or had the kid as a commander) where this person who hasnt hit puberty yet is talking to me as if I don't know how to play the game. "Noooo don't research that!" "Drop some turrets! That will stop the skulk rush." Frankly I think parents need to moniter their children, or at least be conscious of the average age of the pool of players in what game their playing. NS would probably have a NC17 or Mature rating if it were for sale, common sense tells you the playerbase will consist of more mature people, and the last thing they want to hear while blowing away aliens or chomping on marine legs is some whiney snot nosed brat that think they know everything, telling everybody what to do, running their mouth over the mic in the game.

For those that don't quite understand what I'm saying and are too lazy to read through the posts, this is a clarification from another post
I still don't like when kids play and act like they know everything about the game. I will admit I don't know everything about the game. The problem comes when they start spamming crap that I'm not doing something right, or start spamming the voice com, which I should clear up, I dont like ANYBODY which does this, regardless of age. Are you young, and have skill? Good for you, don't flame me, I enjoy playing with people that have skill. Are you a teen with a pre-pubescent voice with skill? Good for you, I like people with skill. Are you a senior citizen with a busted hip, bifoculs, and a voice box from 40 years of smoking that has skill? Good for you, I like people with skill. People, regardless of age, spam voice, and act like know-it-alls when they know nothing. It is a proven fact that kids, that is, usually around age ten and down, will act like this more than anyone in any other age group.
And another clarification
I'm saying that you need to recognize that you are a n00b, and instead of trying to lead the game, stop talking, and listen to the people who know what their doing. Take a pointer from them. Why learn to play a game from other n00bs? I don't know about anyone else, but I personally would choose learning from an experienced player rather than a n00b.

Its also a scary reminder that im starting to get old <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Everquest causes people to go Syco... er, psycho? A game where someone can sit in front of a computer to pretend to be someone else who's doing something even lazier in-game (<i>*cough*fishing*cough*</i>) than that person is currently doing in real life?
Yeah, I played EQ for a few months when it first came out, and it was a harmless bit of fun. Well, harmless to everything except my credit card. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
rofl you don't have to be 18 to do that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes they might be annoying, just ignore them or goto another server, this post makes you no better than the annoying little "children". -_-
There's a server my friends and I play at every now and then... can't remember the name right now. At any rate, one of the clan guys who runs the server has a son named Cody. I'd guess Cody's anywhere from 6 to 10 based on his voice. You'd think right off the bat that this would cause lots of problems, wouldn't you? Little kid, plays the game because his daddy likes it, it sounds like a horror story of people building sensory and recycling the base.
Let me tell you, I've never seen a more effective lerk than Cody. My buddies had played with Cody before, so they knew him. At first, I'll admit, I was skeptical. But I wanted to be decent to the kid, so I didn't say anything when he was going lerk. I just made a little side comment to my guys of "lerk already, huh?" They laughed and told me to wait. Within 10 minutes Cody, along with one of my buds, had completely taken out the Unnamed hive, which the marines had taken as their main outpost. Now I'm not saying Cody could take anyone I know. Cut him some slack, he's a kid. But he <i>is</i> a good NS player, and that's really all that counts, isn't it? I'd rather have Cody on my team than some of the 20+ players I've had any day of the week. Food for thought.

Just take it with a grain of salt man <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think this thread should be closed.
So for this reason <b>no</b> kids should play any game that you play.
This sort of <i>immature, selfishness</i> is exactly why this thread should be closed.
Otto, this forum is for mature minded people who want to talk about NS... don't spread hate cause you can't manage to politely and with maturity tell someone younger then you that you do not need advice and you know how the game works.

Did I say that no kid should play the same game as me? No I didn't
I've never quite got this _wanker_ word. What does it mean? Im for some reason in belief that wanking is uh, well the thing that starts with mast...(im not sure if I can say this in the forums, allthough I can't see the harm in it but these moderators here are wild you know <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
Ontopic: I don't care about the age of the player as long as he plays right and doesn't mess with the voice com <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
but it is real anoying if they are so iggnorant to think themselves the greatest and ignore our adive.
that is! if anyone has tryed helping the new players of NS? or have you all just been ignoring them or stressing em off?
P.S. me 15, it doesn`t mean i am complete child, so please don`t sterotype me with them.

Thats exactly what I was trying to say
Me: “Holy f--- I told you to get your a-- over to Waste Handling! We’re going to loose the hive!”
High-pitched whiney voice 1: “Please don’t cuss.”
Typed: “Yeah, there’s kids playing this.”
Me: “If you don’t like how I f---ing talk you can leave you stupid s----!”
High-pitched whiney voice 2: “Don’t swear!”
Mature voice: “Shut the hell up, kids.”
Korean kid: “Wachabi chima bidag tichoo!”

I masticate over 1,000 times a day!
Children should be able to play it, so what if there voice is high pitched (mine aint, so dont worry about me arguing for my own side) doesnt mean that they cant play, just mute them or ask them to not use the mic, and NS doesnt children people violent, of course if there well aliens that looked like cows with horns and dogs with big teeth who climb walls, maybe children would be violent, untill then they should be able to play it.
OMG! You too!? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
huh huh huh... huh huh...
/me slaps self.
Right. Where was I? Nah, kids can be okay. Just they have to deal with the fact they <b>will</b> be muted if they mic a lot. Because I don't see why my entertainment time should involve my ears bleeding. I love the ones that get all excited, and start to chatter on, it's a case of 'no more red cordial for you, little Mickey™'
(Add on : /me enjoys the lousy American anti swear filter long enough to call someone a wanker. *Points wildly* YOU! You're one!)
As for swearing, it's the 14 year old kids who swear the most.
I know the kind of players he's talking about. We had one of them on CiS a while ago, and he kept hogging the voice comm. After a while, he thought it was funny to say (during some crucial time in the game): "COMMANDER, CAN I SIT ON YOUR LAP? QUICK, YES OR NO?" He wouldn't say it once, no. If he said it just once, it would have been amusing and tolerable. About ten minutes and a hundred repetitions later, our comm, along with half the marine team, muted him. He spent the rest of the game still talking as though they could hear him, asking for grenade launchers and jetpacks and health every 30 seconds... and also repeating his "joke".
I guess it's all that male testosterone that's raging through your bodies during middle school, or something. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
OI!!! Don't dis teh acshun man.
Theres nothing wrong with action man.
lol
sorry, little plug. anyhoo, this topic really strikes close to home. and i, like otto, had the same sentiments. however, i've played with far too many fantastic and mature younger players (yeah i'm talking to you Tiio <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ), to really hold the line.
i'm guessing what otto is sayin is:
Wankers suck
Wankers who have really high pitched voices suck more
and whoever is talking about masticate. i hope you masticate or you will be
1) taking your food in fluid form
2) starving
Cheers
I have a big problem with immature people playing NS. People who refuse to learn, or are excessively intolerant of insignificant little annoyances that a more accepting person would shrug at, get over, and move past.
