can we just settle this. family game or not?

i can't really find an official definition for what a family game is or not, but i mean, it's essentially the same as a 'family film' in regards to the use of language. so, while 'family game' doesn't have an objective definition (yet), 'family film' does. it's "a film genre that is designed to appeal to a variety of age groups and, thus, families." i think we all agree that the game appeals to many age groups. i suppose we could also agree that the game is PG-13 considering that a player must be 13 years or older to play (with parental consent). films typically are upgraded to PG-13 from PG when language is used sparingly (generally, less than 4 times) or the movie is especially violent. note that Glitch never uses language and is never violent, so the game really should be PG or even G. Certainly, it would be rated E for everyone with a disclaimer that they cannot control the content experienced online.  

ultimately though, the game has parallels with a family film that's rated PG-13. and as such, we shouldn't use language. 

thank you for your time.

(edit: ToS says 14 years or older, so I guess PG-14 would be more accurate.)

  • Oh... my... effing.... god...  

    Mr. Dawgg's agenda for this massive trollish thread is that everyone censor their speech to meet his overly anal standards so that no one offends his delicate sensibilities.  This censorship would include words that he feels are too negative, such as "censor" and "agenda" in addition to those words you can't use in church, like fuck, bitch, ass, shit, hell, damn, and various others that I refuse to type here, because I feel I have made my point without them.  

    I hope you appreciate my list of words we can't use around Mr. Dawgg.

    Mr. Dawgg, please feel free to include other words you would like to see avoided* due to their crudity.  You may also include a list of words that could be considered crude, but that are okay by you, such as jackoff.

  • Oooh, this thread has expanded even farther than it was before. Over a hundred new posts I believe. I’m actually fairly happy that we’ve moved the orchestra thread elsewhere. I was beginning to start feeling bad yanking Mr. Dawgg’s chain so hard. He received a lot of flak for alienating people so much. I don’t think he was entirely cognizant of how much his comments bothered some.

    Anyway. :) I just wanted to add another post to this monolithic occurrence because I want to have contributed a lot just in case the badge has a qualification for exactly how much you participated. It might be like street projects. :P We’d have to be at the top five percentage wise. I find it a bit awkward that flask, who antagonized Mr. Dawgg quite a bit, would get the badge most likely.

    I think Dawgg would be a bit peeved about that.

  • Mr Dawgg said
    It's like... polite society social norms and mores. Which, I guess you're right that people are fighting it, so in a way it isn't the social norm. I just now realized that.
    and
    Mr. Dawgg's idea for a polite chat experience is that everyone behave in a civil manner free of crude language.

    As people have been saying for days, your idea isn't the social norm for this game.

  • @ Mr. Dawgg:  Also, Club Penguin does not contain referenced to alcohol or sexual innuendo.  Why?  Because it's marketed to kids.  How do I know this?  My sister used to play it.  You are being incredibly patronizing, mule-headed, and thicker than an ass's fur*.

    *No, I am not calling you a name.

  • And you think that this thread is going to help them decide?

    As for their campaigns, I'm pretty sure it's all been decided. They're just waiting on the nitty gritty details and such, fine tuning and all. 

    Nothing is going to change dramatically as that means a lot more work for them.

  • Oh, Menoboo. :( 

    Do not worry about the length of the thread! It will only to continue to grow like some sort of disturbing tumor on the forum of life. Or something. The point being that this thing isn't going to die any time soon. :) It's already behaving like bamboo watered with Fertilidust mixed with miracle-grow. 

    Also. I need that red whistle. :) I think I have a nice black shirt it would go with.
