Hak pak?

Is the new hak pak still in effect? If so, I will have to wait until my dad comes home to download it.

Yup, Hak pack's still in effect, but if the reason why you have to wait for your father to be home to download it, try the Bit Torrent link if you have a client, which will supply you with a self-extracting file which will do all the work for you.

No, no, no! I know how to download things myself! I just need his permission, since my mom doesn't know anything about computers!

Alrighty, hehe, thought it was for where to place all the files. ;P

Can't blame a guy for trying

Wow, kudos to your parents for enforcing an Internet policy and to you for abiding by it! So many parents let their kids run around unsupervised on the dirty Internet and have no clue what they're doing....

If I had a kid I'd make them use the Internet in the middle of the kitchen, and only when I was home. Or just take the router to work with me every day....

Or you can put the kid on a restricted user like my little bro. He can't download anything! Haha! So glad that it's taken my parents ovre 6 years to work out how to use the Computer and Internet.

Meh, I started going on the internet in second grade, and that was only the HarryPotter.com forums. That's what started my hunger for knowledge of computers.

Eventually I got into NwN after seeing my father play it so often(he doesn't play it anymore) and when I was a few months away from being twelve he finally let me play with his disk. Then I got bored of the single player campaign, and a few weeks later decided to buy the disk myself. So I did, and then was enabled to play online. But my parents wouldn't let me. Eventually, after interminable begging, they finally let me start looking for a suitable server for my maturity. I liked to roleplay, and I had experience from roleplaying on Neopets.com on the message boards. So I went to NWVault, and looked in the Top Five Persistant world list. There was Mythos; that said it had mature content, then there was Avlis; my dad, whose main character resides there, said you had to be 16 or older to play there, then there was Dasaria. It had no mature content listed, so I looked into it. After about a week my dad was done looking through it, and said I could go on.

"Cut to the chase" is probably what you're thinking. So I will. I follow my parent's Internet Policy for a lot of reasons, which include, but are not limited to:

1. I value going on the computer too much to risk punishment
2. I get easily disturbed at inappropiate content, therefore limiting myself to age-appropiate sites
3. Why would I disobey my parents, who are the very people who keep me alive?!

Don't know why I rambled on that much, but,

Yours truly,

Man I wish there were more kids with the attitude you have.

My tip for you buddy is to not stay where people are being.. like that so to speak? If its language its easily ignored *shrugs* But rping sex is a d iff story.. let them get in trouble and just leave the area...

Im not saying ignore your parents rules because well.. I guess I would be but I dunno.. Ignore what is said and continue to play.. just becuase it is viewed dosnt make you a bad person just dont use the words.

Another note most on the server arnt aware of a persons age or what they can and cannot handle.. I do though make NOTE of the times I started playing recently (i guess it was a few weeks back) People using lots of swears and language that was disturbing at times.. (im fine with it in tells and in party because i have had my share) But when rping with another charector and having the words used with or against a person I find wrong and very annoying... I feel it was a certain LING that I remember when it was getting heavy.. then it was a memorable Redboot.. Im not saying im innocent either but it SHOULD NOT! Be used I hope people read this and refrain from such language now.. Cmon people.. just say in outloud if you want to so bad..

Okay done with my part but I have one finally question and I mean no offense.. How old are you?

*shrugs* I'm kind of weird in real life if you look at me for the first time and I'm unaware you're there. I am a bit quiet, actually. When we had a really fun subsitute today, I showed myself how quiet I really am. All the other kids and the subsitute were joking around (and mind you it was very funny indeed), and I found myself simply reading. Yes, reading. Not participating in the loud commotion going on, reading. Sometimes I wish I could be as wild as most other kids. A lot of the time it's not fun being quiet, or smart. I'm lucky to have a kid smarter than me in my class this year. He is in almost all my periods. And he is ten times smarter than me.

Last year in Language Arts, when we were doing some kind of 'Jeapordy Style' Prequiz, I was picked the leader of the group a lot of the time. All the pressure was on me. Nobody ever really minds when I get something wrong, but when the winning team gets rewards, such as points for prizes, I feel uncorrigable guilt in my stomach. Nobody actually ever cares if I fail as a leader. But I do. Even if it doesn't matter. It's really weird, and I'm not actually all that fond-- ok, I've been away from the computer right then, eating pizza. I don't feel like continuing my post, because my opinion is sometimes everchanging. So I'll leave it at that, and wait for more rambling to come on. Off to the other posts!

Sometimes its best being quiet.. I acted like who I really was.. (Resulted in everyone thinking im gay at work, 6 people asking me if im gay at school) You are alot like me.. Quiet and would rather enjoy reading a great book then talk with people.. Cause I often time find my self in a book instead of listning to a interesting converstation classmates and a teacher are having.

Another note buddy.. Dont beat yourself up on matters that are so small.. It does yourself no good and you should accept that you will make mistakes.. No one is perfect and no one can expect you to be.. if they do.. tell them to point you in the right direction after doing so themselves. Your a good kid I can see that much and you respect your parents. Good qualities are in you

"Eh... I hope ya ain't refering to me boy, 'cuz I ain't said nowt that canna be said eh, like that. Figure that some gonna complain, but eesh, when ya living in a town with a place like the Salted Rim..? And ya got them freaky halfling gall 'bout prancing them err.. How we callin' that in proper term... Headlite? Well, yeah, ya gotta start wonderin' 'bout how ya can say it in easy way figure. This bein' a town where them adult be livin' an' where them children 'round ya outta watch ya word, figure. But ya shounna refrain from sayin' them thing, 'cause ya -will- be confronted with it. It all around ya anyway, ya know. Ya canna shield ya own kid from these thing."

It's an adult server, rated adult. We're allowed to whack things violently, make things go splut very often, but we're not allowed to RP a fishy behaviour? When there's a whorehouse around the corner with half naked halflings asking if they can entertain you, we're not allowed to play it ourselves?

People are allowed to play violent arses who are simply alive to kill, but we're not allowed to play sexually advanced people because children may be watching?

That's one hell of a double moral. Sounds pretty american if you're asking me. Like the movies or games industry. When there's a lot of violence in it, it's fine. But show nipples or breasts OH MY GOD! THIS IS NOT DOABLE! I'M OFFENDED! And don't give me the Oh my god, you're being negative about us Americans now! thing, because we all know it's true. Even conservative Americans have admitted to me that indeed, that double moral is there. Why would it be? I dunno. I got issues with that double moral, lol.

Sorry people. It's an adult server, to me. And I think that if you're able to stand all the violence, you can handle the sexual innuendos as well. You're not as innocent as you like to believe, really. It's everywhere. So why not on an adultrated roleplay server.

Aslong as there's no explicit sex played out (as in, out in the open where everybody can hear it, if nobody is there to witness it, I couldn't care less), it shouldn't matter.

But hey, that's just my point of view.

Role Playing sex is the saddest thing in the world.

Not being able to deal with those who like it is worse, imho. If others take enjoyment out of it, why not let them have that joy? If you don't like it, just don't do it. Or don't look at it. Or don't listen to it.

I don't like certain things either. Doesn't mean I say it's the saddest thing in the world. Because for other people, it might be fun. Who am I to judge.
