Subject: Please do not ban her

Dear Concerned Mother,

Everything said here is true, although I am newer than some to role-playing, it wouldn't hurt to hear from an 18 year old's point of view. (No offense to anyone out there) You really should not ban her from this site, or any RPG (role-playing-game). You are taking away vital lessons.

Although it hasn't really helped my english grade because I am already a straight A english student, role playing does enhance your writing abilities. I know this by witnessing my friend, the owner of this site, improve her english grade by atleast twelve points. Her teacher also noticed the change in her grade, and questioned her. The reason being Skoki Valley.

I have made few friends so far during my stay, but I have made them. Friends are important to a person socially and emotionally. There are some things someone just can't tell their parents or relatives because they don't feel comfortable. They also do not feel comfortable saying it to a friend for fear of rejection or a misunderstanding, or even in fear of the possibility that it could hurt them if the two friends turned enemies. Things like this can only be said to a friend who cannot harm them if the friend is lost, an internet buddy. Lord knows I've gave advice to plenty of my friend's internet friends. RPGs are a good source of these internet buddies, and few of them turn into enemies.

This game also teaches a lot about wolves, their enemies, their behavior, diet, threats, and actions. Before I came here, I knew your basic wolf knowledge. Wolves were animals about the size of a german shepherd who were persecuted back in the 1500's. Now I know all about the afore mentioned items and much more. Wolf RPGs, and every RPG for that matter, teach about what they are based upon, giving valuable knowledge for the future.

As many have suggested, a good alternative, if you must carry through with your intentions, is to limit her time. Give her atleast one or two hours to spend on Skoki Valley, and then maybe she could spend time with you, do homework, or care for pets she might have. Do not ban her though, she would be missing out on some important education.

Sincerely,
Mark Ketron
And if it helps any, it's Saginaw Valley State University
