I voted yes..  tribes has given much more back than it has taken from me, and besides, I try not to participate in things that are a waste of my time.

Tribes got me into computer gaming and that took up alot more time than I would like to think.  Only recently was I able to curb it and control myself.  Wish I had never started.

I felt that way for awhile.  Now I've come to the realization that it's all about time management.

When you're a lil kid, what does it matter?

Anyways, I spent alot of time playing tribes I guess... but I never let it interfere with any other part of my life. Well, there was this one time when my girlfriend yelled at me over the phone cause, I wasn't paying attention. I was dueling. lol

I was speaking about Tribes in general, I didn't spend that much time on rpg. When I lost the admin weapon.. "lighting blade" I quit.. came back... and cheated my way to RL 100 within 2 weeks.

What would you have the 'kids' do?  Would you rather see people out gang-banging instead?  Killing people?
Some people learn to be socially acceptable,  Some people see that others never will be.
Just as long as you have a firm grip on reality, who cares! :<D

The problem with letting kids play these games is simple..  although they have nothing really to do, growing up on these games is like growing up in a seperate reality.  ESPECIALLY mmorpgs like World of Warcraft, Everquest, etc..

The main problem they face later on is the near total lack of face to face people skills, and the inability to relate to anything other than the games they play.  The people I have met in real life that iv'e known in game for a while end up being totally different face to face..  it's almost as if they can't cope with social interaction unless they are doing it through a keyboard and monitor.  The fact that games are violent only augments this effect, but not to a point where it will cause someone to go on a shooting rampage at their school.

If you want to pinpoint the problem here, all you have to do is take a step back and look at their parents.  I don't care what anyone says..  the parents are what mold the kid into what they are.  If the parents know what they are doing, they'll make sure that there isn't a path the child can take other than a good one.  If they don't know what they are doing, they'll force the kid to go one way which will only make them rebel and choose foolishly.

Well, that explains alot huh?
LOL
My mother didnt give a sh*t.  :roll:
She was never there, thats for sure.
I could have turned out like a damn freak, and almost did I guess.
I decided that the patern of BS stops right HERE[/u] and decided that I would not let this happen to my son.
Yes it sound like I am leaving alot out of the story but its better that way.
E_Inc knows of what I speak.

Yeah..  some people will do well if their parents didn't care, just because they are naturally strong-willed.

Xanth you are a freak. :P

12Stones, it's not only that they can't cope. Some people become addicted to the internet. Or rather.. it becomes a compulsion for some, kind of like gambling.

Also... it's easier for some people, like the shy ones, or the ones picked on, or the depressed ones. Theres a thousand reasons.
