[QUOTE="Magi_Trelian, post: 4954694, member: 36591"] Of course we take it seriously! But to put Siani's point more directly (and after talking with Gabe), the problem seems to be in what people think TMP's "nightclub" is like. I've been to those open-at-night-only places where everyone dresses to kill and you're lucky to find a seat anywhere, where it's all dancing and drinking and loud music. This isn't one of those. This is the place that's mostly a hang-out spot, a cafe as much as a bar, and with an area where music and dancing can happen but don't always. It's open during the day. Think, Irish pub maybe, if fhat makes more sense, except it's not Irish and it's not a pub. It's fine to go in and just drink coffee and surf the net on your laptop, maybe play online games at some chat site, heh. (TMP does have free wireless, doesn't it? Or all of NYC does? It better! Or we'll get no customers at all by that year!) But because there is that bar, it's 18+. That's not going to change and any other room is likely to be the same because when we're talking "modern" setting, we're also talking real world legal issues that, believe me, you don't want us to try to enforce and we don't want to either. Edit: Hmm. Okay I was going off what I'd understood of the intent and the way I've often seen it played when I'm in there, but I got to admit I've gotten blase about checking the room description so I went and reread it. ""A sophisticated nighclub in 2033 with a polished tile floors and colored lights flashing from the ceiling.
