Subject: MPAA
Message: Mr. Bluth, I have decided to write an independent essay on the current state of animated features. Among the topics that will be discussed is the hypocrisy and strange policies of the MPAA. I know you've had a history of your animated features getting a PG at first and then toning them down to get a G rating. Examples being THE LAND BEFORE TIME, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN and ROCK-A-DOODLE. I feel that the MPAA has its moments of hypocrisy. MONSTER HOUSE was denied a PG rating unless the victims inexplicably came back to life. Yet many G-rated films from my childhood were full of death, especially your films Mr. Bluth. Also, crude humour usually earns an animated feature a PG rating, notably Dreamworks films. However, DOOGAL was full of toilet humour and it still kept its G. What I want to know is specifically how the rating process works and how the appeals for softer ratings occur?
Reply: Doug, Gary Goldman here. Actually any editing done to our films, including the Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven or Rock-A-Doodle, was not done to improve the rating to a "general audience" G. On Land Before Time, George and Steven were more concerned about causing nightmares for children than getting a G rating. On All Dogs, the folks at Goldcrest Film and Television were concerned that the Hell Hound sequence would cause nightmares and would in fact cause a word of mouth that would steer family audiences away. We would have just preferred getting a PG rating. On Rock-A-Doodle, Goldcrest's marketing rep had some issues about the owl making a skunk pie with a baby skunk voiced by a 6 year-old child actor. The skunk got away when the The Duke's nephew, voiced by Charles Nelson Reilly crash-lands in the outdoor kitchen. The rep came at us with some sort of experience about child abuse and that most child abuse occurs in the kitchen with scalding, burning etc. He made demands for us to cut material from that sequence, again not for the rating but for some personal concerns. With regards to Monster House, I would have thought that the producers would have wanted a PG rating, there are some scenes that could cause nightmares for younger children, say 7 or younger. But, you're right, there isn't a whole lot of discretion on the ratings board. Maybe they need some members who are parents of young children for better ratings tests. Bathroom or toilet humor is definitely a part of today's marketing sense. Guess today's producers think fart jokes attract big audiences. We all know that a fart joke is a cheap shot to get the kids laughing. One of our films that we wanted a PG rating was our first independent feature, The Secret of NIMH (1982). Funny, even with all the support of the press and the critics, they all commented that there are dark sections of the film that could be frightening to small children. Not really sure you will get the attention of the ratings board or its members, I think they just feel that animation is for children so it's just an automatic gesture, rate it G! I often wonder if the ratings board actually looks at the animated films???

As most here know already i have never considered a film to be just for kids because its animated and well goldman at least also has the same thought. Just because a film is drawn and not recorded by a camera does not mean its a kids only work or in some cases not a kids film at all (vampire hunter d, blood the last (or is it little) vampire just to name 2 animated films anime in those cases).

People like mpaa etc just do not get it. These ratings board member are often totaly off base. Note where goldman says
"One of our films that we wanted a PG rating was our first independent feature, The Secret of NIMH (1982). Funny, even with all the support of the press and the critics, they all commented that there are dark sections of the film that could be frightening to small children." I always did beleive nimh should have been rated pg. Thaat film is so dark and scarry in areas. Movies like nimh if they had a live action equiv they would easly get a pg or even pg 13 rating. If you replaced the rats and mice in the movie with people and did the same film in live action there is no doubt it would get a pg rateing.

heh ever wonder what a 3d cgi model begins its life as

From the side its little more than a blob at this point and i need to move lots of verts back foward in and out to give it the proper apearance. Thanks to malte i now have something i can work with. The pics of his soap stone cera is basically perfect for me to use as a guide.

Ok alittle bit of rubies history first.
I started with rubies as a beta tester on 2/12/02 and followed in to retail. I would say by day 2 of the beta i had already decided that i was done with betas as well i would have no more time to dedicate to a beta test as id be playing rubies when it went live. Thats exactly what I did to. Rubies marked my last beta (well almost more on the almost in a moment). As is the normal for me i learned every thing about the game play tweaks for performance etc. With in a week i was not the one asking for help in a quite complex game but was the one offering his help to new beta ttesters. During this time as  beta tester I learned of rubies history from people such as huan , (im gona butcher this name sorry (q but thats your fault for useing such a impossible name hehe) qrisnolf, syber, jy-luna fyead and half a dozen other gms? Well found out nope not gms. Huan is one of many names that the owner of the game used/uses.

So what i learned from these guys was that rubies was far older than i ever thought. It was infact the oldest mmorpg out there older than eq even. My jaw dropped. Turns out rubies had 3 stages to its life. Stage one was cancun from from early to mid 90s was a MUD multi user dungeon. From mid 90s to late 90 was the cancun engine including a comercial release in this stage. From late 90s till now is lith tech jupiter. Lots of holes in there im goign to fill in now.

During my time in rubies from 2/12/02 heres what happened.

On 06/01/2003 rubies went comercial with the lithtech engine but by 02/19/2004 its comercial life ended. Normal thing for games this happens to is thats it over done never seen again. But oh no not rubies na never rubies heheh because on 05/21/2004 it reopened as the first donation based mmorpg free to play as long as you want no restrictions. About a month later  we had a small p[atch relased that mostly repointed the game client to the correct server for login. By december of the same year a new account type is added that allows server cap bypass the cap was needed to help with lag on our server (im sure youve noticed ive been useing our game alot when talking about rubies im just a gm so why is that?). Dates are a bit sketchy here but also during this time of donations we gained a new server thanks to donations aimed at adding a server then another and finally the pvp server. Little later on one of our servers suffered a major melr down and well never came back up that was one called Pegasus refered to as peggy by most. But the chars were not lost with some serious work by our admins many many hours of data base work they got those chars merged in to the phoenix data base.

More recent history for rubies. We recently thanks to bargle and others got a nice new shinny client .96 wich allows for windowed mode and alt tabbing (abit of a first for a lithtech based game) many bug fixxes in this beta release as well as performance inprovements and the client shrank in dl size from 360ish megs t 280ish megs.

Some of my own history now.

As i said i started the game as a beta tester in 2/12/02 and followed to live as a founder. About 3 months or so preclose I became a gm. Then rubies closed and the days of my beta testing that i thought had went by by for ever returned i got a invite for another beta. Where with in a few short weeks i ended up as a csr just below the level of gm. I stuck with this beta to full retail as well right up to the time when rubies returned as a donation based mmorpg and left the other game soon ater (mostly do to broken prmises i was suppose to be promoted to gm wich for their game was a paid job but it never happened i waited months over a year infact). Apon returnign to rubies do to rule changes i was no longer a gm but hey i did not care rubies was my home and i only need reapply as a sage. I was a sage for about 2 weeks and then back as a gm. tThat brings my history up to date.

Now early i mentioned the fact i was useign the term our game when refering to rubies well thats what rubies really is. It is the players game in many ways. It does get refered to as that by many a player gm and developer alike.

Rubies of eventide is small in size big in heart. Ou community is the best i have ever seen in a game. Sure we get our share of trolls in game but hey that happens every where given enough time. Even this very forum will or may have already had a few. It is the nature of the beast we call the internet. But fact is they do not last long when the community is small and gms or mods etc are around all the time.

I generally do not post little adverts for rubies like this on forums as a personal invite to those on the boards. Infact i think ive done it a whopping 2 times counting this post heh. Ive submited a few buttons to other sites and put the url in forum signitures or as a homepage in my profile. But never a big old invite post. So here it is.

I invite any and all of you who want to check out a little mmorpg to come check out rubies. Some who try will stay some who try won't rubies is not a game for every one its really that simple.

With all that said heres a couple links
main site
www.eventide.net
forums
http://www.eventide.net/forums/ubbthreads.php
live chat linked to irc.ausirc.net
http://www.eventide.net/chat.html

In chat i am always there as one of these 3 names mostly as nova
nova novaflare or gm-wesan_na_mora .

Feel free to read the forums hang out in chat for a while etc.
We have some realy simple rules. IRC rules are the same as phoenix rules g rated chat for most part. When in doubt dont say it basically. We tend to not allow chat about other games in irc or in gam leads to general all around nastiness flames etc. We get a fair share of game shills (paid spammers basically ither paid by real money or ingame favors). They will come in askign lots of questions about rubies. Popin and out a bunch of times then drop the url for their favorite game sayign you all should check out this game its even better than rubies. This is generally soon followed by me typing /ban nickname after i copy paste their host mask to do a ast ban edit after.

In game help channel on phoenix /h is used only for game mechanics how do i mine craft etc type questions and short tech related questions like im getting really bad lag any way to tweak the game or my system? Generally when im able to be in game i take the person to /w or party chat and work with them. Not so much a rule but more a rule of thumb as it helps clear chat up for other questions. Fireopals our role play server and lowst pop server needed a server wide chat so /h rules allow it to be the server wide in charector tavern chat while mentor becomes the help channel for that server. Halberd the pvp server has no language rules char nameing rules etc so all channels are a free for all.

I suspect a good number of those here tend to roleplay alot as well both rp forums here are fairly well packed. Any ways ill end this post here and answer any questions you might have.

you send it is pretty cheap so i was thinking why not set up a pay pal account then members here toss money in it to pay for a you send it account or other sim file shareing site. Personally i dont want to even be the one responsible for handling the money and paying for the account and besides im the new guy here  and i would never expect that level of trust yet at any rate. With that said how ever i would def be tossing some funds in such a account once i got a job thats full time. Any ways just a idea. Some of the premium accounts ther are pretty decent. And we all know its just a matter of time before you tube starts nukeing the videos that have been uploaded. Sure its sort of prating but lets face it we have all seen cartoon net work make some lame programing decisions. Like never airing the finale secound season of beast machins. Same for gundam wing same for .hack (oh man was i ticked beyond ticked in fact) I emailed them over that one heh. And i had a friend of mine in the buisss email them as well lol. At any right its just a idea i figured id toss out ther

Hopeing this is infact todays episode. It sounds like were going to see a episode mostly centered around chomper maybe getting some more info in to his back story.
From titan tv synopse
Everyone is excited about the big feast except Chomper, who seeks the friendship of other sharpteeth.

Heres hoping. As the episode airs im going to try to post a reply in this topic as it airs. Hightlighting various  events.

To bad i dont got a imdb pro account yet or id post exactly why. But its obvious by the big pretty green up arrow and the 50% that its getting more popular in fast order while lion king is down by 2% also up on moviemeter is the series by 2%. Looking good for the franchise in general. My best guess is as i posted some where else that the series is helping to boost the popularity and exposure of land before time.

Like topic would any one be intrestedin a irc chat? If so i could set one up on irc.ausirc.net. Very nice server small enough to be secure from things like spambots and other general irc nastyness. Big enough that finding a active ircop is easy enough. Lots of new fetures for irc on the network to like vhosts a nice little hostmask instead of a ip or in ausircs case a iphash (meaning ip is not displayed) or ausirc.ispnamehere.whatever.

Any how let me know if at least say 5 to 10 are intrested ill create the chan under what ever name is chosen gang_of_5 would be my guess heh

All mods would be ops say mods with half op every one else ither voiced or just plane users.
