I see 3 year olds very often that know everything about sex and swearing.

i thought about it a bit last night and i came to the conclusion that perhaps the game should have an age restriction ( or age advisement ) seen as people are also likely to run into swears in the game.
by " unwanted content " i don't mean just sex scenes. sorry i can't make more of a post i'll be bac on later.

If your character is being subjected to something you're not comfortable with (excluding murder, torture and other things that are part of the usual cantr life) like sex or excessive swearing, then tell us about it and i'll sharpen my whip.
Or alternatively OOC the other player to say "please don't, i don't like that" but be careful not to turn it into an IG flame-war.

They chars could be given a different color within game, or even a small description on their char page that says they are not willing to participate.
For players already registered, as well as those that may change their mind later, the similar checkbox can be placed within the "change" button found within the character screens upon login.
I don't like that idea it might mean female chars that have the box unchecked might be raped more.
It changes the behavior of characters.
And the description on a char's page is actually IC.
How would they know that the player(character?) does not want to participate in sexual activities like that? Are they psychic?

It is THAT behavior that makes OTHERS uncomfortable. "But my character is a rapist! *whine*"
Well obvious the other PLAYER is not amused, don't be an asshat about it and force things. Move on, the PLAYER wont play along... I've found many who wont play along with simpler things... DEAL OR SHUT UP!
As for the REST OF YOU! TELL PD OR STFU! I like a GOOD CHUNK of Cantr players but this is STRAIGHT UP STUPID. If YOU, singular, have a problem THEN REPORT IT YOU DUMB IDIOT OF A HUMAN BEING! If you've NOT a problem then WHY ARE YOU BITCHING!?

How would the suggested checkbox be any different than a player saying OOC that they did not feel comfortable RPing a situation. The "offending" char would change its behaviour either way. And I'd assume the checkbox info would be visible to others.
Not saying I agree with it, but it's not exactly a bad idea. Then the player wouldn't have to go through the whole OOC discussion which may not happen soon enough for the other player to change their char's behaviour or omit certain details.
", and even though there are some, it's not that often. It's more the overly sensitive adults that can't handle the roleplaying. And I think the argument of "It is a game!" is invalid. Cantr's not just a game. It's part game, part simulation.

It would still simply be a CRB. Besides that, I am very sure most people here have had 'sex' in real life already. But when they have to talk about it, they seem to suddenly be scared or insulted about it.
Too protective an upbringing, perhaps? I just think they never had the opportunity to openly talk about it.
Of course this differs for each person, and I can never say that it is this way for every single person. (Although I am 100% sure it is for some.)

So, you're saying people should not be allowed to request OOC to another player that they tone down sexual content? Everyone has different reasons for not wanting their chars to be involved in sexual details and none of those reasons are lame or irrational - I don't think that's anyone's right to judge.
In the past, I have had chars get involved sexually with others, but I won't be doing that this round. I don't want to have to explain to my gf why I'm basically cybering with someone in a game (but it's just roleplay, honey, honest!), nor do I feel that would be fair to her.
The people that are that conservative are an extremely small minority, because the amount of virgins in this world is ridiculously low. So if sex offends them, they're probably a lier or a hypocrite. And being upset by killing a textual animal? Animals die every day, if you can't stand the undetailed account of an animal's death, they need to go out and buy some children's cartoons, and soundproof their house. Your argument is as ridiculous as my suggestionsCdls wrote:The arguments that my suggestion constitute a crb is quite amusing considering that we are supposed to breach the CR in certain situations anyways. Like, no two characters in same town/communicating and so on. How would this be any worse than that?
Secondly, changing the chars actions is also not a valid argument as if the character in question was to reply OOC that they are not interested in acting out said action, it would be the same thing.
Third, this game has elements that can pretty much anger a wide variety of people, hell, I was explaining and showing the game off to someone the other day and she got upset cause I killed an animal. Sex is no different, some people are offended by it.
And lastly, this may be getting off topic but how RPing sexual situations considered "cybering"? IMO the definition of cybering is sexual chat with the goal of sexual gratification. If I do it, it is no different then any other RP, and I surely don't get any "sexual" urges from it. I may be alone in that, or maybe there are quite a few who feel the same way, but I just don't get the whole "OMG OMG someone said ass and titties!! *SPLAT*"
