He didnt say you were insane.
Mental meaning (something like) 'of the mind'. Or in other words the situation of your mind. You admit to, or at least refer to, feelings of depression. And guess what depression is? :wink:

I also refer to many postings in which you spoke about "killing others" or that others should cut their wrist open and die and so on. many of your postings contents too much violence, which isn't really normal for a 12 year old child. That don't let you look very normal, sorry.

You had to spend I-dont-know how many years as a squire.. 10 i think... AND i think squires had to be 16...

And squires didn't mean fighting,,, it meant:
Cleaning armor
Taking care of Horses

And children should be children... (except elves); I really liked the RP of the game of catch (Zazo, Olar.. and i forgot whom); and the reason mothers don't let children use kitchen knives is because they'll cut themselves.. but swords are ok right...

Also theif children just robbed, they didn't kill the victim first

Hmm....after crabbing and complaining to you all i took into consideration what you said. Obviously Emily's parents wouldn't want her out there fighting, all she needed was a small nudge to make her stop......she got a big one :P All emily will be fighting are pigs for a while :wink:

I dont even know emily well in game so this is not aimed at you, Olivia. Rest assured if it was i wouldnt bother wish such a disclaimer :)

My only problem with kids playing warriors is simple the day i see one of these "kids" take down an oger or turn there blade on me and kill one of my relatively skilled armored characters I will be concerned.
I myself intend pendar to tutor Rhiannon in the use of a blade, how ever I would hope and can nearly gurantee the PO would not use much more than a light blade and leather armor. As such it is unlightly she would kill any one who is actually "dangerouse".

All i ask players of young characters to do is remember that just because you could give your kid 18 strength and dex. Does not mean they have it yet, much the same for constitution. When X matures he she may be tough as nails how ever bear in mind while they mature they are far more frail,weak etc than that 16-18 stat they will one day grow into.

Killing pigs? Do you immagine a 10 year old girl killing pigs?
I'm not complaining... but its not very good RP, most children throw up if they see a picture of a person dying IN A FILM. So i think a person killing pigs, a child... would get nightmares and feel faint.. So please RP it

Hadrian. Think about this.

A pig is a domesticated farm animal. It is fed so that it becomes fat. Then it is slaughtered for meat. I would assume that many children would learn to slaughter a pig. Farmers used to do it all the time, and sometimes still do. I'd imagine that children become less sensitive towards the slaughter of pigs VERY quickly.

I agree with Donal 100%.

Back then farm children plucked out chicken feathers and cut off their heads on a tree stump so they could eat. I'd imagine a little smoked pig would be no trouble.

Actually killing pigs is less stressfull than killing chickens. Pigs just die with a scream sometimes, but chickens will chase you-well it seems that way when you are young. My brother and I used to help my grandmother with the chickens and she would always cut off their head instead of ringing their necks just to watch us chase the headless chickens. I went rabbit hunting the first time when I was 9 and killed a rabbit and have been squirrel hunting every year since I was 12, so killing domesticated farm animals is no problem at 10.
