BBQsauce September 2, 2012 Share BBQsauce Member September 2, 2012 My boy is 10 and he loves to play l4d and I like how the server is strict about language. 1. He has access to a mic, but he is not authorized to use it during gaming. I was considering letting him use it when he either spots an enemy, or is under attack.--Would this be an issue? 2. I understand swearing and the blood, but as a parent, we have had MANY conversations about the difference between cartoon violence, and to never repeat certain words (He knows what they are I swear, so he wont hear any new words so long as people don't get out of control. 3. He is pretty good at L4D and TF2, so he shouldn't hold you guys back to often Please let me know if there are any issues. He knows to NEVER act a fool on multiplayer platforms.

mookie September 2, 2012 Share mookie GC Alumni September 2, 2012 No specific problem with young players. As long as he isn't disruptive (applies to everyone anyway), it's really up to you to decide what games to let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavC September 2, 2012 Share mavC Member September 2, 2012 I saw yesterday some buddy that was playing in the server with his son, Peanut Butter Jelly Time. I thought it was so great that you can share something that you like. I think is fine if you teach him with good examples and being concious that the game is not so much for children. But the people on the server are so cool that i really want to show it to everyone. (Not everyone on the server are cool people, but i do like almost the 90% of them.) Remember that you can share anything, with knowledge and with good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paroxysm September 2, 2012 Share paroxysm Member September 2, 2012 when you include 'problem?' in the title, I'm inclined to think you're trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC September 2, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member September 2, 2012 when you include 'problem?' in the title, I'm inclined to think you're trolling. Well you see, the subject is what the topic is about. Adding "Problem?" lets us know, even without actually opening the topic, that he thinks allowing his son to play may be a problem on the server. Which is why he's asking. Problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick82 September 2, 2012 Share chick82 Member September 2, 2012 i thought we had a no children policy here Not at all. This is a very family friendly community or so I've always thought. I use to play lotro with a guy and his son was 9-10 and he was a pretty good player and listened when we were in a raid and stuff. I think it's pretty cool you found a community you feel comferterable letting your kid be part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill September 2, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member September 2, 2012 North of 12 would be nice but we'll always make exceptions for parents who are involved with gaming and their kids. Part of the reasoning behind the standards is creating a place where you wouldn't bat an eye if your 12-ish year old kid played there. As opposed to just about any pick up game on Xbox 360... (for reference) How's the 300 challenge going btw - been quiet lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKemp September 2, 2012 Share MattKemp Member September 2, 2012 I think it'd be okay - as long as he stays off the mic as much as possible - no offense, but, in L4D we all have short tempers, and if he's on the team that's losing, he'll be a convenient scapegoat. Just sayin' lol.....But okay with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling September 2, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member September 2, 2012 I think you understand mostly peoples thoughts. We've always had these standards so that kids could play on here as well, the older the better but as long as you've told him what's right and wrong and he actually listens and isn't disruptive like has been said, all should be cool.

Masgnoh September 13, 2012 Share Masgnoh Member September 13, 2012 $10 that he's already better than baloosh long as he doesn't use the mic, i don't know why, but whenever I hear a kid's voice on any game, it just annoys me. i still remember that one kid that called out what he was whenever he spawned. Every. Twenty. Seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
