Too much violence

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.freeware.games (More info?)

Today I saw the online/downloadable game "Wrath II" at
http://www.armegalo.com/wrath/play.html
It says: "You are God ... your people have angered you greatly,
and deserve to be punished. Punish away, oh Great One...
Warning - contains scenes of extreme graphical violence!"
A java shoot-em-up, okay, but it contains too much violence (IMHO)
Slogans as "Kill God" goes a little bit too far, but the slogans "I love
Bush" is really too extremely, that cannot.
I won't put that game at our caiman site.

My question: Where do we have to draw the line? When contains a game too
much violence for a freeware site as caiman?

I think his only really obscene statement is "I love Bush."

I think you'll just need to continue to be the moderator of that,
according to your conscience. ;-)

Have a great day!

The game you mention isn't too violent for me.., Just too boring. I
don't know what classifies as too violent. I suppose to my mind it
depends on who the game is aimed at. If it is for children, then it
should be no more violent that road runner cartoons(!). If it's for 15
and over, who gives a damn? anything goes!!!

It was just kind of a joke on my part, dude ;-).

Have a great day!

The joke worked on several levels, including the
draws-response-from-someone-who-doesn't-get-it level.
