Can I just say....you all are AWESOME! The twinnies absolutely loved their first day on the server and I am completely floored by how kind and helpful everyone has been to them.
Several of our fellow players expressed in chat their concerns about profanity around the minors. I want you to know how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness towards our family. Having said that, we have understood from the beginning that this is a mature server. I didn't join intending to bring the kids aboard originally; I wanted to learn more about servers in a friendly environment. I was incredibly lucky to find Anembra!
So basically, I'm saying we would never expect the server members to change the usual style of gameplay or chat. If it is not appropriate for the kids at a given time, I consider it OUR responsibility to monitor that and tell them when it's time to sign out for a bit. They feel very privileged to be included in this group and they (and we) would never want to inhibit people's fun, whether in the actual game or in the banter that goes on in the chatboard.
Profanity really doesn't bother me if it is reasonable and appropriate....I am far more concerned about them encountering people who are rude, mean, creepy or belittling....and I know that would not be acceptable here toward any player of any age so not even an issue!
Side note....we homeschool our kids, so they are quite used to being around other humans of ALL ages and don't have that segregation mentality that adults are part of some alien tribe. They really appreciate it when adults treat them like people, not 'just kids' and I am thrilled that they are being included in a community that is so respectful to all it's members. Btw we assign them Minecraft projects for their schoolwork. Really! I am currently writing their mid-year review which will include a section on how their Minecraft activity is addressing the core curriculum...should be interesting.
Just to give you a better picture of who they are (until we get them registered for this forum) they are 11, they love Youtube and Barbies, and they are really happy to be here.
They keep up pretty well in chat but their typing is still slow so if they don't respond to something please don't be offended.
That's about it; hope this clears the air. If anyone has any questions or concerns, or just want to talk with us off-board, please don't hesitate to contact myself and/or Bobz at

Thank you again, most sincerely.
