Seems, pretty straight-forward to me. No Babies, No Toddlers, if you're in your twenties, you're not 2.
In Seatown Garden:

911-3: a man in his twenties says: "*Stops to look at the animals ruunning from the hunter*"

911-3: a man in his twenties says: "*A young boy about the age of 2 years old comes into town from the path, dusty, and dirty with skinned knees and hollow looking eyes the thin child come stumbling into the town plaza*"

dont really think its a CR breach.

It's not a Capital Rule BReach per se, because the character isn't using their characters together in a coordinated fashion to decrease other's enjoyment of the game...

But there isn't really a "Game mechanics breach" section, and since Jos was pretty clear about this:

I will report a message to all players that has been posted before, simply to bring it back under attention. Especially the existence of roleplayed babies in the game has caused confusion lately as to what our policies are towards such roleplaying. Babies do not currently exist in Cantr and will be implemented as soon as possible, which might still not be very soon, as we lack programming staff. My message from November last year: "I see more and more descriptions of actions in peoples` talking, like *smiles* or ::walks to ...::. As such, this is fine, and it adds to the roleplaying character of the game, but please limit it to behaviour that does not affect a surrounding and does not involve objects that are not actually in the game. E.g. ::hits Paul:: is not allowed, as for that there is a hitting function, or ::hides his bottle:: is not allowed, as there are no bottles in the game, or ::runs behind a building so nobody can see him:: does not mean nobody can see him ... That would simply be a different type of game." This policy has always applied and still stands.

I wanted to head this off at the pass, since I don't think Toddlers are any more "in keeping with the spirit of Cantr" at the moment than babies are.

I mean, heck, if you can't hide behind a tree, you can't be 2. :oops:

Thanks.

Yeah...things like that shouldn't be allowed.
If it is people will start to play gnome wizards riding in to town on their dogs...oh wait, that allready happened. :wink:

It just ain't fair if you tell that guy he must play 20. From the first moment I saw that's a courageous and skillful roleplayer, who ever it is... It hurts no one having a two year old around. :cry:

This is not a matter of discussion any more.
