15.2 Underage players

Imperian is a game oriented towards mature players. Any player above the age
of 13 is welcome as long as he or she is capable of conducting him or herself
with the required level of maturity. Immaturity is not a direct function of
age either. However, it is a sad fact that 95% of our 'problem players'
(generally those who do not have the emotional maturity necessary to follow
the rules and act like a member of a community) are teenagers, particularly
ones under 16 years of age. If you happen to be a younger teenage player,
don't worry. You will not be discriminated against based on your age. In fact,
many young players have conducted themselves with admirable aplomb and have
risen to prominent positions within Imperian.

No special treatment will be given to you if you cause problems. This is a
role-playing world, and real-life excuses for behavior are irrelevant to us.
You will be deleted and will not be put back if you cross what we view as a
very easy line to avoid (given that 99% of players never cross that line, it's
obviously easy to avoid doing it).

Examples of behavior we have seen regularly from young players that have
caused them to be deleted would include persistently ignoring rules about
being afk, sexually harassing other players, constantly shouting about OOC
things, or, and this is the most common, throwing a temper tantrum at Jeremy
or one of the other administrators. We work hard on Imperian, and while we
always appreciate input from the players, moaning and bitching annoy us, and
if you persist after we've asked you to quit it, you risk crossing the line
into deletion territory.

So, in summary, regardless of your real-life age, we expect you to act like
mature adults. If you are not capable of doing so, then please go somewhere
else. Remember that it is very easy for us to just type the delete command,
and ruin the hard work you have put into your character.
