First off, I and the rest of the mod staff would like to thank everyone in this game for the outpouring of affection, concern, and thoughtful consideration in the aftermath of this round's anonymous meme. Even when we have moments of darkness, I'm always so impressed by just how caring this community is on the whole, and I'm incredibly grateful to ( Read more... )

OKAY I NEED TO REWORD THOSE QUESTIONS BETTER INSTEAD OF EDITING AND OVER

Questions:
- Are the minors required to post their specific ages or just state that they're under 18

- What if they don't give a verdict on that on the mun page, either because they don't want to or for some other reason?

I was wondering where Invisible Rorschach went.

- We don't necessarily need their date of birth, or a specific age beyond "under 18."

- We can't really chase everyone down and force people to report their status of minority, considering how large the player base is. Because this has little bearing on what official actions the community will take based on a player's age, we're hoping that more people will be honest.

The only instance I can foresee a possible punishment for not accurately reporting one's age is if a minor intentionally deceives an adult player into engaging in behavior that said adult has made clear they would not engage in with a minor. And even then, this would be more punishment for deception and manipulation than being underage.

Does that makes sense?

This is part of why I didn't really see a point in requesting players to post their age. Yeah, this is the internet, people are gonna lie, especially if they're afraid of judgment or ostracization because they're not what age people think they are. Meanwhile, they might tell someone they're actually under 18, and that person could feasibly tell others and blah blah drama because they didn't post about it on the contact page. That would completely suck ( ... )

I agree with this.

Thank you, folks. I appreciate everybody's help with this, and let's please strive not to ostracize anyone who is a minor in general. I have Goliath, who can and will play with anybody, for instance.

Um, just for clarity, where do I stand with Deadpool as far as that 48-hour drop-revoke window goes? Just in case I pull an Ian. ;)

And I'm in my twenties, and play someone still in elementary school. This is only meant to be a safety net, not an electric fence. I'm hoping that none of our underage players will feel otherwise.

If you decide within the next three-four hours, the easiest solution would be to simply resubmit your application this round. Otherwise, I'll discuss with the other moderators where Deadpool would fall in this situation.

Oh, we're right on the app deadline, are we? Okay. Let me think about it.

We are! I hope you decide to pick him back up, personally.
