Personally I disagree with some of what little I've heard about the decision, but that said, I fully understand why the decision was made. Issues about unwanted pregnancy, rape, child abuse etc were raised... As a roleplayer I consider these valid parts of an RPG setting, but that said, I accept that the Sindome MOO is free and open for anyone to play, unlike the closed RP groups I'm used to where such acts would be considered part of the game. At the end of the day, Sindome is a game, a bit of fun and should be welcoming to as wide an audience as possible.
I'm sure there's all kinds of valid points about how people could object to violence, murder, bad language etc, but that's the way it is, the line of bad taste had to be drawn somewhere and that's where the original SD admin chose to draw it.
And that is the historic story of why Sindome doesn't nor will ever have coded pregnancy. Tune in next week for the next episode of Rastus' Amazing Legend and Legacy of Sindome, entitled I wuz Bnae's speelung chekcer. :cool:
I don't think that kit is there anymore... I seem to remember somebody complaining about bad taste and some other shit..
I think one thing that Everybody should realize is that this is a game and not views of SD staff/players. what would you expect to see if the SD world was real? hell I'd expect to see a sign on a building up in banspuro that read "Back street abortions, you rape em we scrap em, no fetus can beat us" doesn't mean that I agree with it but ITS A GAME!!!!!!
