I don't subscribe to generalizations, that means that we teens aren't mature, and that you the "21+" people are mature. I'd say 15+ it's more of the person than the age.
I remember being 16...all I can say: time will educate even the most invincible, intelligent, precocious teen out there. Trust me, I was one back in the early 90's and I was bulletproof and invisible.
But I'm a little more mature now than I was then...I'm not invisible anymore.
Adults have a greater respect for other people than teens do...that is a simple fact. Teens for the most part, do not know how to respect others. And the bleedover from that is the alliances in this game are not respected.
Of course there are exceptions...and trust me, if I didn't enjoy playing TW then I wouldn't be playing it.
Ok, here is what it boils down to. Are all adults mature? No. Are all kids immature? No. Are most adults more mature than most kids? Yes.
As with every rule, there are, of course, exceptions.

Well here I think is the problem with your statement.
You say "I can act adulty despite my age" well I wouldn't say that because acting adult simply means acting like you're what over 18? That's ridiculous, there are people over the age of 30 less mature than people I know who are 17. My point is simply that you can't classify everyone in the same boat by simply their age. It's like assuming all gamers are nonathletic or all athletes are unintelligent, it's just not the way things work. Making broad sweeping statement about everyone under the age of 21 like you're making are completely refutable, completely over the top and not fair things to say. I'd say you have had bad experiences in this game and instead of blaming it on competence like a logical person you've blamed it on age, which is not a very good alternative.
AM I talking to you?
..And don't start spouting that liberal jargon about 'you can't classify people'...that is what HUMAN beings do. We classify things. Read a science book. You can talk liberal equality theory all day, I'm talking from a strictly pragmatical sense, and yeah, based on my life experiences, I don't trust people under the age of 21 to handle most of the comments I would like to make while flaming. I DO NOT want to cause any youngster to go over the deep end and hurt themselves or somebody else...
And If you read every word I wrote carefully, you will see that I said there are exceptions. Life is not Black and White guys...life is gray, and it can be rosy if you make it that way. :lol:
I have seen in my time on Tribalwars a lot of more mature teens. I have also seen some immature adults. Any way you slice this situation you are going to have a lot of immaturity any where you go. Age limits do nothing to prevent immaturity.
Life isn't grey, what planet are you from. Life is every colour imaginable and many that are not. Life is the bassline of each song that pounds through our hearts. Life is the air we breathe and the people we see and the way we feel. Don't try to oversimplify life in the same way you tried to over simplify the categories humans fall into. It just doesn't work...
You are mistaken, I understood your bad joke I just chose to disregard it as part of you argument. You're point remains very, very, unproven.My quote: Life is not Black and White guys...life is gray, and it can be rosy if you make it that way. :lol:
Lack of metaphorical understanding is prevelent in the developing frontal lobe...another point proven.
As I said before, I have no problem with you making generalisations, provided you actually have some data to generalise. You have just pulled a number out of your ass.... You have given no proof that people under 21 who play TW are actually less mature than people over 21 who play TW.And a rebuttle to the argument that 21 isn't the 'magic age' that should determine entry into said TW world...
...ALL Societies set up arbitrary ages in order to allow people to drive a car, drink alcohol, vote...why? Because the societies do NOT have the the resources to give every individual that wants to buy a beer a psych-eval before sackin' up their effin' grape MadDog...
...TW does not have the resources to have the psyche of every prospective member tested to see if they have the constitutional fortitude to endure a few lude insults. Therefore, an arbitrary age must necessarily be set to determine 'lvl of competency'
[/spoil] does not count. You could have atleast assigned numerical values to Launch/FAIL and the work schedules............taxemen: + :lightcavalry * A(P1 - P2)
F(x)= -------------------- + LOGout
...............Ma * Launch /FAIL
Where (x) = Lvl of cognative ability
t= Time playing TW
A= Age
P1 = Parent 1 work schedule
P2 = Parent 2 work schedule
Ma = Maturity Level
So we are in agreement then? Untill you have conclusive proof that players of TW under the age of 21 are overall less mature than those over tthe age of 20 we'll just say that I'm right. A far more practical approach than agreeing to disagree, don't you think? You do realise that by your logic of doing what's practical rather than wasting time with that whole being right thing, we should eliminate that "court of your peers" rubbish, and just execute anyone, charged by anyone else, with any crime. Practicality is not the most important thing. No I'm not saying TW should conduct psyche tests on everyone during the sign up process but there needs to be a balance between doing what is practical and doing what is right. You can't just make unfounded generalisations.Like I said earlier... I agree with most of you about maturity varying from person to person greatly, and expounding on existential theory about our individuality makes good sewing-circle gossip, but practicality is what exists...reality. Not should's and would's and could's and philosophic rhetoric.
