For IC age, I was thinking of lowering the limit (To say 12, or so, And raising the limit to 150 for humans.) The ages could be different for each species, For example, A 'mature' vox may start at 1 year, and end at 25. The actual relevancy of age IC probably wouldn't be much, however, because when you get cloned, you can go back to whatever age you want to be.
For OOC age, Well, I'm bringing this up because i was planning on DEBANNING ERP and swearing in ooc and whatnot. Anyone would be allowed to join, of course, But there would be a serious disclaimer in the opening screen letting folks know that the server/host are not responsible for the actions or words exchanged by the players in-game, and you play at your own risk, yadayadayada.

For ERP, I'd suggest running it the way New Eden does; having it be okay as long as all involved parties are (OOC) okay with it.

Off topic, but this needs to be mentioned. Maybe make a different thread for this - Swearing and blunt language really add to the immersive aspect of SS13. You will feel more connected with the character. For example, someone who is usually very collected and professional might always speak in formal terms, but if you hear them saying "Oh fuck..." you know that shit is going down; as opposed to hearing it from someone who swears constantly.
But damn... ERP? Be careful what you are doing here. ERP does not really fit in a SS13-esque environment. This is only my opinion, but it is valid all the same. As far as I know, BestRP was the only server to have allowed ERP, and look what it gave them. Allowing Tajarans and Unathi also had a bad rep for attracting people like furries -which I don't mind at all- but having that and ERP is going to lead you down a bad road. It is generally all-around bad for a server's reputation, and attracts the wrong kind of crowd. Mature audiences have no taste for internet cybering, and you'll lose a few cultured players for that- Additionally, this isn't something that younger crowds should be exposed to. And just think about it- 48x sprites lying in bed, *having fun* with eachother and *doing stuff*... Not needed, in my opinion. - Back on track, age, yes. Would age have any IC effect at all? If so, like what?

Par, although I agree that ERP and allowing Tajarans and Unathi didn't work well for BestRP, it's worked out fairly well for New Eden (which is the server I play on currently).

Yes. While i understand how 'being known as the new server that allows erp'would attract the wrong attention, and push away mature or cultured players, I plan on not targetting ERP, But rather leaving the disclaimer as a catchall: "Play at your own risk, We're not responsible for things said and done in game."

On phone, cannot type much. Yes. While i understand how 'being known as the new server that allows erp'would attract the wrong attention, and push away mature or cultured players, I plan on not targetting ERP, But rather leaving the disclaimer as a catchall: "Play at your own risk, We're not responsible for things said and done in game." Yes,this is the good solution. As long as we don't advertise ERP, this will solve most of the problems I have with it. If it works or not is up to the playerbase. We will see.

Sounds like a good way of handling it to me.
