Sith Bandon Viper Squad	Posted - 2008.04.15 19:53:00 - [35] Edited by: Sith Bandon on 15/04/2008 19:55:07 Originally by: Volarius This is an idea I heard is already implemented in some other MMO games like WoW. I would like to see an account bound option to restrict the time a person plays EVE Online. My son plays this game as well under the character Sith Bandon. He is actually the CEO of a pretty big corporation called ViperSquad, so I do understand why he spends so much time playing. But it's hurting his results at school now and he hardly ever goes outside anymore to play soccer. That is why I would like to see an option to restrict his play time online. What do you guys thinkz? Hey dad thanks for all the internet attention you are giving to me but maibe instead of doing that and askin other ppl how to threat your only child you should just ask your self and spend more RL time whit me instead of eve and the bottle, this made me consier moving away from home for good and stop playn eve on the 22th this month you wont hear from me ever again.! Maibe you will treat your next child better
Karentaki Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2008.04.15 21:31:00 - [36] This is either a moderately epic troll, or the OP really needs to look hypocrisy up in the dictionary and take a hint. Maybe if you payed more attention to your kid he would spend less time on the games that you seem so addicted to yourself... ========== This is a signature, a cunning ploy used by forum warriors!
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.04.15 21:55:00 - [37] Edited by: Jacob Mei on 15/04/2008 21:55:33 ....Your joking right? It is not the responsability of anyone else other then yourself to parent your child. If your child gets out of hand or you catch him playing when he should be studying you cancel his account, change his password, whatever it takes. It is not the responsability of CCP to do your parenting. Seriously this is the same arguement parents who take their 10 year old to an R rated movie use.
Marcus Xavier Minmatar Xavier Institute for Higher Learning	Posted - 2008.04.15 23:02:00 - [38] Originally by: Sith Bandon Hey dad, thanks for all the internet attention you are giving to me. Maybe instead of doing that and asking other people how to deal with your only child, you should just ask yourself why you're not spending more RL time with me instead of Eve and the <snipped ... we have children present>. This has made me consider moving away from home for good and stop playing Eve on the 22th of this month. You wont hear from me ever again! Maybe you will treat your next child better Sith, here's a link that will help you get started Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus Schedule ---------------- Mutatis Mutandis

Maibe you will treat your next child better Treat, not threat (or do you mean threaten?). Maybe, not maibe. Asking, not askin. people, not ppl. Yourself not your self. Consider, not consier. With not whit. Playing, not playn. No wonder your dad's complaining that your results are sliding. You should be happy he is not caning you or whipping your backside when you do not listen to him. Look, at least learn your spellings from him. But don't ever "thinkz" like him when you grow up :P
Salpad	Posted - 2008.04.16 08:01:00 - [41] Why do old people always worry when young people are in front of computers excercising their brains, but never worry when young people run around doing silly things with balls while not excercising their brains? -- Salpad

Be a parent and turn the computer off. If as you later say he'll just go to his friends, ground him if his grades slip to much or just stop paying for his account.
Rettermal Viziam	Posted - 2008.04.16 08:34:00 - [43] i'd say...confront him about it..be his dad and say "look little johny, eve comes second to your education..if your grades dont pick up, iam affriad your game time is going to follow suit"...if he blocks you i dont think u can see him log in btw, so there is no way of being sure that he is not playing else where...so all comes down to parenting..and trust.
Zartach Tzarszh Minmatar The Royal Engineers	Posted - 2008.04.16 08:44:00 - [44] Originally by: Aypse Originally by: Zartach Tzarszh HELL would be waiting for him if he ever had the nerve to show his face at my house again. So, you would kill your child & send him to hell if he ever disobeyed you? I suggest you immediately relinquish all claims over your child & send him to live with a relative that will care & nurture him. I bet you are the type of bad parent that would not support an idea like proposed by the OP. It is vital to our communities, nations, and world that parents be given the tools necessary to ensure the quality education and upbringing of our children, such as Sith Bandon. CCP have demonstrated a strong of responsibility to the community it has created and therefore I am confident that they will begin the immediate development of the OP's needed account features. In figurative speech Mr wise man. But as your obviously a wee bit stuck up, you would not understand. If you quoted some more text you would have read that i would cancel his EVE account. And yes, no TV, and probably grounded for a week would follow. And to be even more annoying i might actually call up the teachers who teach him and have him do catchup on his bad grades. Hows that for punishment, oh my gosh hes actually going to learn something from that i gues. HORRIBLE! These tools you speak of do absolutely nothing. If your child is disobedient and problematic in following your parental guide you might want to look at the whole package you are providing your child with. Governments should protect the children from bad parents who let their children run loose and grow up to be felons due to the lack of parental guide when they were young. And no this does not apply to people in ghetto/trailerpark environments alone. Hiring the nanny, forcing others to create tools to compensate for being a bad parent is not going to help your child. Spending time with the child teaching him, guiding him and punishing him when he is not following the rules will help your child. While it may be that CCP is going to add these kind of filters/tools or may even have been building them since last year. It remains their choice. They have a clear warning on the consequences in the EULA and information about gaming/mmo and parenting is available in abundance on the web/at your local parental guidance infostore. Coercive politics is something that breaks more than it solves, and using the "but its for the children" argument is one of the worst.

Sith's first language is not English, and it's rude to post about someone's spelling when they don't even come from the same country. His post is readable and to be honest, his F1, F2, F3.... speaks far more clearly -- Ralara / Ralarina VOTE FOR RALARA AS YOUR CSM REPRESENTATIVE, AND RECEIVE A COUPON FOR A 10% DISCOUNT AT WORLD OF WARCRAFT. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=74811

You told me you were going to David's house to study. Not only did you come home to late, seems youve been playing games as well... I hope you realise that we're gonna have to have a serious talk when you get home because your behavior right now is unacceptable.

Dotard Minmatar Eternal Guardians Corp. The Covenant Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.16 11:51:00 - [48] TROLL!!!! If by some perchance it is a serious post: Since you are asking for parenting advise on a internet spaceships game forum....... Show him the belt. Tell him "If I catch you logging on to EvE, this belt will be logging on to your ass." Problem solved. --------------- Nerf You! Buff Me!
Kagura Nikon Minmatar Infinity Enterprises Odyssey.	Posted - 2008.04.16 13:15:00 - [49] Originally by: Volarius Well we can restrict his PC time at home, but then he'll just go out to a friends house or an internetcafe and play there and then while I'm playing i'll see 'Sith Bandon' pop up in my buddys list all of a sudden. Don't you pay for his subscription? Even if indirectly like by an allowance? Just say. If I ever seeyou online when you shoudl be studing. Then no more game on next month. And DO IT! ------------------------------------------------- If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough
Wesley Baird D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.16 14:55:00 - [50] Given how much isk Sith owes me, if you ban him from eve, you're going to be paying Vol...and im serious!
Aypse D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.16 16:36:00 - [51] Edited by: Aypse on 16/04/2008 16:36:32 After reading the discourse between father and son I am so saddened. This is yet another terrible example of how destructive internet games can be to a loving family. Perhaps Vol & Sith can repair the rift that has developed between them as a result of Eve. Perhaps they cannot. The important thing is that CCP implement proper parenting tools. Everyone needs tools to accomplish their goals. Want to dig a ditch? Get a shovel. Want to write a novel? Get a pen. Parenting is not any different. The parent needs tools in order to build a healthy and constructive member of society. CCP has an obligation to society to give the parents a tool. The question we all have to ask ourselves is, if even one family is saved by implementing these tools, isn't it worth the effort? Reducing the mechanics that reward blobbing: Eve-O Forum Link
Thera Romana	Posted - 2008.04.16 16:43:00 - [52] There are kids playing this game?
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2008.04.16 18:53:00 - [53] Originally by: Fortuna Cournot This is part of the Windows Vista Operating System. It shouldn't be part of a game design. In Windows Vista it is possible to setup accounts to be restricted. You can restrict the times when certain users are allowed to use the computer. If the user dosn't log out before, he is logged out. You can do this on a dayoftheweek base, e.g.: Sun,Mon-Thu 12-22; Fri,Sat 10-23. You can also restrict users based on PEGI age codes etc. It's also possible to do this via a good router/firewall, by disallowing traffic to certain ports/machines at certain times. I'm not sure how well the OS-based method would work; a lot of programs require the user to have full admin rights in order to run properly. I think EVE might be one of them.

TypoNinja Caldari Void Angels	Posted - 2008.04.16 20:31:00 - [55] Edited by: TypoNinja on 16/04/2008 20:31:17 Not to belittle the difficulty of parenting, because I know its not easy, but the bottom line is this; As the child's parent it is your job to raise him, not mine, not somebody else, not the CCP dev's, not broadcast TV, not the government. The world is a nasty nasty place, and there are plenty of downfalls for an uneducated child, its our duty as the adults in our children's lives to make sure they are prepared to meet those challenges. In your case it would seem your child has sufficient maturity that discussions would be fairly effective, since hes running a decent sized corp. Talk to your kid make him understand your worries, and that if he sits on his ass all day as a child he'll look like jabba the hut as an adult. You've got a kid, nobody ever promised it would be easy, but hes your kid and its your problem to solve. Worse comes to worse, change his account password and only let him play when you log him in, though personally I think thats a terrible option.

Which is y i get away with selling big bags of drugs outside schools as its the parents jobs to watch their children 24/7 and NO ONE!! is allowed to help in any way.
acompton Dragons Of Redemption Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.17 16:03:00 - [57] You guys have clearly missed the most logical solution here: Put Sith up for adoption in China: they aleady have well thought out time limits put on playing MMO's. As an added bonus they won't let him RP as a girl, which he apprently is doing on occasion lately when he puts "will cyber for Iskies!" up in Jita local chat.
ArchenTheGreat Caldari D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.19 11:49:00 - [58] Originally by: Dotard Show him the belt. Forcing kids to mining is NOT a solution. Volarius, there is a very simple solution. Just take a few guys and pod little sucker to death (repeatedly). When he finally ends with 1SP I can assure you he will not wish to train all those skills again.

What do you guys thinkz? i think if you want to restrict his play time you should do it as a parent and not relly on ccp to do it for you. How about adding in an ability to inform ccp once your childs grades have improved so they can reward him with longer play time? Considering people all over the world play how can you set a time for children? and even if you did what about those children who play with players in different time zones....and who is to say what time frame a child should have? do you have diffent times for differnt age bands? what about teh holidays when children can stay up longer than they would normally?
