[QUOTE="Fenmarel, post: 2559615"] I just wanted to "voice" my opinion on the matter of children in the Cross Roads TAVERN. It isn't a club or a friendly pub as the description of the room (if people would bother to read the room descriptions) but a rough and tumble place. 99.9% of players can't come up with a REASONABLE reason a child would be there. No matter how "crafty" said child is their instinct for survival or common sense should kick in when they see what and who comes around the place. Yeah yeah I know the same would go for normal people but at least those players have the easy excuse of saying "I am an adventure and have you seen the adventures that take place here?!?!?!". One thing I have noticed when reading books set in medieval time frames is that if there are children present in a tavern they are usually the offspring of the owner, cook, or waitress working there or someone that they have taken in that HELPS out around the place not just hang out eating cookies and drinking milk. I'm not saying that there haven't been children around taverns in some of the books I have read but those children were very very very very few and far between. I know that I am not the only one that feels the same way about the kiddies in the tavern or the stupid uber intelligent animals that just wonder on in(thank goodness for Pou's mop and broom!!! :D ). No it isn't nice or polite to ignore characters like that but ALOT of us don't play nice or polite characters and many of us aren't nice or polite either. As I've said many many times before if you want to do something that goes against the norm then be prepared for ridicule and persecution in some form. That is a sad fact but one that many need to learn and learn to cope with in some form or another what ever that may be. [/QUOTE]
