Game Play Downhill???

[xbrit]

Never knew who this "1BenPunk" was or is but everytime I have seen him on I have had to squelch him because of the stuff he spews all the time.
If someone put him in his place thats great.
Silat is a gentleman and would be willing to help anyone that needs it, if this guys problem is with Silat must be down to jealousy.

I don't mind when kids play this game, and choose to learn it in as much of an adult fashion as is possible for them. I've flown around many kids, especially when I post a mission. I think most of us can tell by the questions they ask, and by the manner in which they ask them, how serious they are at playing/learning the game.

A big factor I look for in how they play is how they handle humility, because we all get our butts kicked in this game. If they take being shot down with a p!ss-poor attitude, then I don't care to know them. They'd have to grow up and settle down a bit, first. Meanwhile, the squelch button is a wonderful tool.

sweet2th/ted/autopilot/1hunglo still mad at trainers and silat after all this time. sad, but expected.  pretty much a theme of your bbs life.

back to the issue, maybe a full video showing things that lead up to events....not just little (or wittle as you like to say) clips showing a biased view.... Also, if parents are so concerned with what little kids see in an online game, maybe the should reconsider when buying them a subscription to begin with.  Have you ever been on xbox live? Te language those kids use is quite impressive and constant.

As for grown men relating to how it was to be kids, different time different world.  I played alot of nintendo, sega, atari, etc. as a kid.....somehow I don't remember playing those games online at the age of 8....kid of tough to relate.  I guess in High school when we got internet I used to write some stupid stuff, but I deserved and expected everything I got back from it.......a lesson some have yet to learn.

And yes, some of the kids who play are disrespectful and have a very bad attitude being impossible to share the same air space with.  that is also a fact.

Hi SAS_Kid...how ya doin? Where ya been hiding? I havn't seen u in the TA lately?

I am back now I had to get my soundcard replaced.

But yeh that banter about Nikora and Silat it looks like 2 situations to me.

1. They are both fooling around with each other.

2.Nikora is on the "attack" while Silat is keeping it going in a "defensive" manner but still being part of the problem.

Although I shall bet my new sound card on situation 1.

Hey.  I'm 6 years old!!!    

What? No one believes me?  Why not?  Maybe it's cause this is the intardnet and people claim to be who they are not far too often.



"I ask you all and those who are Parents i ask the most, is this what you want your son or daughter exposed to??????"

First off my 8 yr old kid wouldn't be "chatting" with strangers in any game - period.  

 To be completely honest I would not want him exposed to "people" like you (myopic, dysfunctional, idiots claiming to be adults) either on any level - be it in a game or on a web forum.  

 You have some serious maturity issues and if you're actually an adult I feel sorry for your kid who's apparently walking in the shadow of a social moron.

This seems to be one of those threads that doesn't work out as planned.

On the contrary, someone wanted attention.   Well he's getting it, just not the kind he wanted.

Ok lets see if I got this right.

Sweety is pissed because he wanted to be a trainer, got coushed and now has a grudge that simmers eternal.  So he bicthes about trainers treating kids like crap in a back handed way of getting back at the same people who "screwed" him?

Now then. When I was a kid, (and by that, I mean, under 10 years old) I was a gifted athlete. I played both soccer and baseball with adults in an adult "fun league" on the weekends, with my parents blessings.

My parents were told that if I acted like a child, I wouldn't be invited any more, and then that's what they told me.

My parents also told me that I'd probably hear a lot of swearing and that I'd see people drinking beer after games, but that swearing was inappropriate for a child so if I was caught swearing myself they'd stop me from playing. No beer either; same rules.

I played in that league for 3 or 4 years, so I guess I acted OK as far as other players and my parents were concerned.

So with that all said, I'm going to to out on a limb and say that Aces High really is an adult game, much like those fun leagues I used to play in, regardless of how HiTech markets the game.  (However: Aces High is advertised on The History Channel, not Cartoon Network or Fox Kids -- think about it.)

Certainly, kids are welcome to play, but no one wants to deal with childish behavior. In the absence of parents to complain to, childish kids (and childish adults, for that matter) are going to take the brunt of other people's frustration themselves because we can't call their parents and tell them to make their child behave.

Similarly, parents who let children play Aces High should be aware that their kids will be exposed to adult discussions and jokes. I'm pretty sure you'd tell your kid that if they were playing sports with other adults.

Finally, in my experience with this game and other online games, kids only get subjected to truly nasty adult behavior when they start acting childish - and usually they have to act VERY childish over a period of time.  When kids don't act childish, they normally fit in just fine.

Now I don't know what was said that led to the responses Silat and NikorA said, but based on past history, I'd be willing to bet $10 that the kid in question was acting childish, and probably got what he had coming.

If true, as a parent, it is *your* responsibility to see to it that your kid doesn't act in such a way to incur the wrath of others.

If not true, and you kid was truly spoken to this way out of the blue and for no reason, then I'm sorry. Really. No sarcasm intended.

So, what happened that led up to this screenshot?
