The rating list thing has proven ineffective, so I'm going to try something else. From now on, I'm going to ask that the channel itself (PMs and subchans I could care less about) be kept clear of sexual content. On certain days, though, every week, I'm opening it up. These highly scientifically named "Do whatever the fuck you want" days will be no doubt full of hijynx and debauchery and the rest will be nice and squeaky clean for those who don't wish to see stuff. The only question remaining is, which two days? Well that's where you come in. So vote on when you want them. If you don't think two days is fair and or good, either way, post and suggest a higher or lower number. The 'winners' of this poll with be the hawtness days. EVERYONE PLEASE VOTE. THIS AFFECTS YOU.
PS: I would like to issue a formal apology to those that were offended by the original contents of this message. I was very tired and sort of cranky when I wrote this thread, due to feeling pressured to make a change I felt was for the worse in my personal opinion. I hope I can be forgiven. Thank you.
PPS: I would like to issue another formal apology to those that were offended by the second draft of the original contents of this message. I was trying my best there and it still came out wrong I guess. I'm very very sorry and all I want right now is to make amends.

Personally, I think this is mostly outbursts from not having missions and anything to do, so we're all getting pretty damn silly. But man, complaining so much they're actually trying to restrict us further? This is just going to make us bored, since we won't have any other outlet then talking and sparring. My view is "When in Rome do as the romans, but nobody's forcing you to watch or take part." Hell, instead of complaining about the random insanity why not try and start a freeform for those who won't want to take part. It's no harder then saying. "Eh, I have no interest in this." and seeing if you can get the others who agree with you to chat until the rest of us are done with the dumbfuckery. Or better yet, GM you're own mission and give us ALL something better to do. Or hell, even joining missions when someone else is running them will help.

Okay, since I missed out on all of the conversation in the IRC, I'mma voice my opinion here.
Both Loran and Li has the right idea. No activity = Nothing to do. There has been numerous occasions when people has tried to spar or just talk and do random stuff, but that ends up being boring when there is has been no actual activity players can do.
And lets face it, the majority of the vast RP world is mainly GM-controlled. No GM = No activity = No extras. And since only Gradius knows all of the extras, that becomes a problem for the players and the Main GM himself.
As for the actual argument, I must agree with Spyke and Seph, but I'm not going to pick their side, 'cause if I did, then I would be a hypocrite.
I like #Nintendo-RPG having it's adult moments, but I never wanted it to be like that 24/7. I always thought it would also keep its seriousness and progress.
In the end, the only seriousness that there is... is the women who just want to conversate but has to constantly watch their backs. And really, I play Teresa, who has a small resentment for men due to her history. I expected the perverted comments and attempts to see her skin, but I never expected it to be "The Highlight of the Day". I want to stop feeling like I have to protect Teresa whenever I RP as her. Shadow at one point was a highlight as well, and Mystic and Marco never have any activity simply because they choose to stay out of it.
However, I do like this RPG having the adult moments, but I liked it when it was rare. They're fun, and at times exciting. I have RP'ed Adult Themes before, so I know how it is. But they have to stay rare, the world does need their normal days as well.
But all the problems revert back to not having anything to do.
All of us need to seriously get off our asses and get some work done.

Thank you, Mystic. That is exactly what I said in the channel and in PM windows, though perhaps you said it even better than I did. I do not HATE adult themes.
I just strongly dislike when the only theme is an adult theme. It makes it very hard to have a serious RP with meaningful character interactions and plot, and it's all due to inactivity by the Sub GMs and full GM. Graidus has been waiting for certain people to be around (myself being one of them), but even a Sub GM running a plot would help to alleviate the problem of nothing to do.

Honestly toning it down isn't a bad idea, but making it 1 day is just gonna' cause problems. I'm sure people are gonna' start to feel like they're being confined. Also, I'm probably not the only one, who gets only three days solely to themselves to do things like RP, but still randomly gets dragged out of the house on those days. So it'd quickly become rather tire some playing confined for several days, and then missing out the days you get to play how you want to.
