And then his kids showed more kids, more kid bought the game, more kids came and bugger us, more flame and ice cream, so, this Bludclone guy is attracting more handicaps to our game. HATE HIM.
Point taken. I do understand what this guy means. There is, however, a difference between being young and being handicapped... My thinking was - If they learn now, then they won't act handicapped when they hit 13 (or whatever age kids are when they become flaming noobs).
I read the boards and started playing BL so I could teach them how to play it. I wanted them to know what they're doing.
No one wins if they go around laying down 50 zombie bricks in someone else's server or whatever. And so far it's worked fairly well. Not perfect of course... there was the time that my 10yr old bumped a topic > 6mnths old - once. Lesson learned. And my 9yr old (he'll shoot me if he finds out I'm posting this) dressed his avatar up as a black n white dog and made a server with a name something like "First one to this server gets to be my owner." .... It was up for about 30seconds until I found it. - he won't do it again.
Could've been a lot worse.
Look through her posts, she claims to be the mother of a 9 year old who is addicted to Blockland just as much as she is.
Umm, guess I'm not used to being taken so seriously. I wish I had the time to be addicted to BL, but sadly no. I was just reacting to the strict mum comments when I wouldn't let my 9yr old dl that desert sands map. I was trying to get him to read the feedback before he goes and downloads every lame add on that's ever been released to the boards. I wish I'd just kept my mouth shut. Mentioning I was a mum was a mistake and I probably deserve every bit of flaming I get for it.
Enough about me though - back on topic..
One of the reasons why I chose BL was because I was hoping it would get my boys interested in coding. @ those of you who do know something, I don't know where you learned or how old you were when you did, but you weren't born with the knowledge. And from the response I got before I'm fairly sure you weren't taught by your mum either :P
