Ever since we bought AC:GC for my 11th birthday, my family's been addicted, doyoing. They would end up playing more than I did. I was so mad when Dad got the Gold statue, doyoing!
Does anyone else play with their families?

My dad made an AC character with me once, lol
He went with the whole Classical Furniture scheme. I think that was what it's called, ptthpth.

Heh, my mom had a character named mom. She liked to pick the weeds. Like all she did it was funny. She used to say she was going to pluck weeds in a high pitch. That made me laugh. But ever since we moved we haven't been playing as much. Heck, I haven't played for at least a year and a half now. I like AC:WW now. Except I recently lost it. I am so mad.

I'm not sure if you can, but that doesn't mean i'm going to be impressed because you went off-topic, doyoing. People who use that as their only defense are disgusting, doyoing. It's like they only asked to become a mod for the power.

Shadowofsilver, I will now put my past experience/self views on this.
1. As a ranger, you do not have the power to ban members. You're a ranger, scouting to get members. Not a Board Moderator/Global Moderator/Administrator.
2. That would be NO reason to ban someone. That's like banning someone if you said "I went over a bridge" and someone else saying "Who cares?". Sure, it could be a bit blunt, and a bit rude, but it's no reason at all to ban someone. You ban someone for breaking the rules constantly/breaking a BIG rule, such as sexual content.
3. Again, as a ranger, I'm no mod, but I highly suggest not spamming. It makes us look bad, tells other members it's A-OK, and in a matter of no time whatsoever, this place could easily drop downhill, I've seen it happen.
4. Randomly threatening members that you can ban them can usually scare them, as well as other potential members away. Coco is a girl that wouldn't be bothered by that either way. We could get her unbanned from this, since she did nothing wrong. If a Guest browsing this forum saw something like that, a likely thought would be "Why waste my time? I'll just get banned because someone can." I'd suggest not doing that.
Now, thus concludes my rant. I have no power over or under you, as I consider everyone as equals. I'm not forcing you to pay attention to this post, and unfortunately and rude as it is to say, you probably skipped through this post reading what you found interesting. These are things to consider if you do make it to a Moderator position, however. As in doing such, keeps AXer's a fun, healthy, active forum for every member to enjoy. Us as rangers, as well as any other member helps keep this place thriving. Doing such makes us collapse in on ourselves, and in no time, we could die as a forum.
Thank you for reading this, if you did. I'll make every post in this thread on topic unless said problem exists. I'm not trying to be mean or attack you or anything, these are intended as healthy suggestions.
Rantman out. ~Bob

Shadow, Bob's right.
First off, you CAN'T ban members. You're only a ranger, like Bob said, it is a position higher than a regular member but you have no moderator powers and you're expected to scout members. Secondly, DON'T SPAM! It's the very first rule! You also double posted, don't do that kind of stuff. Again, like Bob said, that could drive members away, especially considering your staff position.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything - In ANY way - (and I do have to defend my brother), I also am not EXACTLY defending him, but I do have something to say.
He knows all about spamming and stuff and he was talking about it the other day to me. He was telling me not to double post because I forgot something in my last post and decided not to edit my post and just to make a new one. He let me know that we weren't supposed to do that and also that you have to make a minimum of three words in each post (or something like that).
He also gets angry easily. He did take her as being rude, and I don't blame him even though I can't really say that she was being all that rude.
You see, what she said wasn't exactly rude, but it does sort of sound it. He wasn't try to "Toot his own horn" I guess you could say, he was just replying to something she had said. She said "I was so mad when Dad got the Gold statue, doyoing!", he was just saying that he got it too, not trying to do anything like bragging about himself.
He might skip over the post, but he usually doesn't.
I myself wouldn't ban her, but would just kindly tell her what I thought of what she said, what I meant by my post and then get back on topic. But, you see, I am a completely different person from Shadow.
When he said "Manamanamanamanamana" he was certainly trying to say something, just something that we don't understand. And he probably wasn't double posting when he knew he wasn't supposed to, he probably just merely did it, not thinking because he had more to say, he just didn't think to edit his post.
I am not lying about anything. Some of you might believe me, some of you might not. If I was on a forum with someone I would be able to tell that you could believe in them, but, that's okay.
I was just defending my brother.
I understand him more than anyone else here considering he's my brother and I'd just like to let you all know that this was probably just a little misunderstanding.
He just got upset with Coco because she accused him of doing something he didn't do. Well, I'm not exactly accusing her of her accusing someone else, It's just what it seemed like to me, that's all.
I do think that Coco was being a tad rude, but I don't think that ANYONE here who has replied to him actually meant to be rude or hurtful.
Again, I think that this was all just merely a misunderstanding.
"I don't want the power i just want you to know if you do anything that's mean!"
A translation for this could and probably would be...
"I don't want to be a Ranger for the Power, I just want you to know that you did something rude." or something like that. I couldn't think of the right word for one of the things I said though...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope no one thinks of me as being rude, just as me trying to make a point and explain what I believe is going on here. Again, I apologize for any rudeness you might have seen me said.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you understand.

You weren't being rude. You were doing the right thing by standing up for your brother. If you don't mind, I'd like to move this to Personal Messaging, so we can keep these matters out of this thread.

(Back to the topic.)
Yes, I played the game with my family. My sister and my Mum both managed to get the statues (in two of our three towns) and I never managed to get one. I still owe about 100,000-200,000.
I haven't played the game in months so I haven't bothered to pay it off.

I've tried to get my mom to play, but she'd rather lay in bed and read than play this even though she likes seeing my house and what is happening in my AC towns. :)
My dad's too busy and my sister's 14 years older than me, so she moved away when I was like 6. :o
My brother started playing once, he got Goldie and Daisy to call him poopface and that spread around the town and they wouldn't stop! To make it worse he attacked Punchy with his net until he moved away and cut down my eniter pear orchard. Needless to say there was a fight. :)

My Brother and my Sister plays sometimes, but my sister stopped playing ACGC and started playing ACWW. My parents don't play though... My dad isn't really interested in those types of games (he likes Halo -- sort of sonic, but, my brother ruined it for him -- etc...) and my mom can't play video games... I think they give her headaches and stuff, but I don't really remember.
