IeatWindex Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I want to subscribe to members. Anyways, I cracked it on my dad. That was easy. He agreed with no hesitation, but then he said "Ask your mom and if she thinks the game is age appropiate, ill pay". But my parents are opposite, and divorced. My mom is strict and my dad is easy going. Im perfect in school, but that may not be enough, how should I go about convincing my very strict mom? Open to all advice.

Vulxai Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just tell her that if you're grades start slipping, that she can have your dad cancel the membership until you get them back up again. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dippymister Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tell her about how you can learn about investing in things, and about economies. ;) Also, make sure you tell her about all the math you'll be using to figure out xp's and prices, etc. It worked for me! : :ohnoes:My Guide on Obby Mauling!

IeatWindex Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I will go along with the slipping grades and whole beneficial to my knowledge think. But I gotta learn how to find and use a workpoint of hers... This is going to be hard. If she has a weak spot, shes good as hell hiding it...

maulmachine4 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I love divorced parents, it's very easy to decieve them! Usually, they will be skeptical if you mention the other parent, that is their weakness, just say you'd like to play an mmo online and that you think your dad will pay for it, if she is mad at your father she'll want to make him pay a little more just for her edification, however, if she is genuinely concerned about the game bing inappropriate, show her the censor. http://www.draynor.net/stat/orbclaw/mal ... chine4.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat666 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tell her if you can't play this game then you're going out with you're hoodie mates to "hang out" outside the shops, drinking cheap cider and mugging old people. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amoeba_009 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tell her if you can't play this game then you're going out with you're hoodie mates to "hang out" outside the shops, drinking cheap cider and mugging old people. LOL! Well, just take her to the rs website and show her the parent guide or whatever its called. It describes the educations aspect to the game and the whole censor thing. All my parents cared for was that its not a stupid scamming site for your credit card number. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just say what cat said. I just dropped hints and that gone me my membership after coming back to rs! =D> In seriousness I wouldn't be that blatant. However I would rather my kids play Runescape than hang out around shops. It really worries me that parents don't let there kids do certain things online. There is far more trouble and danger outside these days. Trust the Gene Genie!

Johannas Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tell her if you can't play this game then you're going out with you're hoodie mates to "hang out" outside the shops, drinking cheap cider and mugging old people. ^LOL^ You could pretend it's just a way of chatting to mates without paying for phone calls... Maybe just offer to do some more jobs around the house, and as someone said - tell them they can stop paying if your grades start slipping. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!

Zaaps1 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Let her look around the site and make her decision. If your parents are strict like mine they won't change a decision, so there's no use giving the "i'll stop if bad things happen" excuse. Won't cut it. So I'll only tell you what I did, I asked my parents if it was ok and let them decide. They said no, so then I used PayByCash. ~It's Super Effective!

The Observer Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just say that it can be a reward for working hard in school, chores, being a good citizen etc. You could also say that it could be an incentive to try even harder, as if your grades slip, you can have it removed. Works wonders with school and parents. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Runescape is too "age appropriate", really. Your dad probably just thinks it's a violent computer game (he's heard of Counterstrike, GTA, etc.). So if that's the only qualm, you should be alright. I used a power point with how it will help me. Such as how to make an arrow. Got me 6 months :D Your parents will rest easy knowing that when you're in college, you can be chomping on tuna sweetcorn taters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac189 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 my parents were like that aswell. i managed to get it by saying if i do well in tests and such at school could i get it, but if i misbehave or my grades go down i would cancel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallasc779 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 show her the "parents guide" on the homepage. it will show her that this game is appropiate. also does she know you've been playing for a while? that should help ;) "The best of you comes from your heart, not the edge of your sword" "After hearing that, i don't think bounty hunter is the perfect minigame for you.". ~Dallasc779~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Like Dallac said, make her read the parent guide on the homepage. It was made to convince scared parents :P 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean5500 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 easiest way is to pay by text. Keep saying "Dad i need credit for my phone" or the ask your mum (but say mum instead of dad as your mum may be offended) its as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Oh god no. Do you know how freaking pissed your parents would be if you blew $80 on a year of Runescape without their consent? On a cell phone that was already most likely a privilege to have given to you at your age? Granted, you haven't said your age, but I'm willing to bet you're <18. Save up some cash, print out Paybycash's dealy, and follow their instructions. Do it independently, not underhandedly. I use Paybycash for my membership usually; it's simple.
