PrometheuSs Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Your opinion regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'll attempt to become an active participant in this conversation but *sigh*, I've been very busy as of late; anyhow thanks in advance, I'm sure this will make for an interesting debate.

Morpheus4873 Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 It should be prohibited if done during class time, but it should be allowed in like a Gaming Club or something. Having said that, my computer science class turnied into a big JK2 saber tournament class a few weks back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophrenic Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 As long as it doesn't interfere with classwork and doesn't destroy the computers somehow (you'd be surprised what clueless teenagers will do to a computer), why not? I'm still effectively banned from all computers (200+) at my HS because I was the one that brought Quake. No matter what the admin would do, there would always be at least one folder, on some computer in the school, that would have that game in it ready for sharing. I even put it on the junior high's system (all schools here are networked) so he wouldn't think of looking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACGe0rge Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I agree that it should be allowed in an after school club, but really has no place during school hours. The only exception to this is if you are taking an advance computer class where a game is used as an example for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Abbadon Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 We were sometimes allowed to play games during class in a typing class (*snore*) when I was in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Walker Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 It should be allowed during lunch time and maybe there should be a PC gaming club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerwilco2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 At my Middle school I was banned from the computers til I graduated from there because I used the old novell messaging system and the sys admin password that somehow found its way into my knowledge to send messages to all the computers about variously stupid things. I still do that at my High School but I am more careful Guess I'll never learn. Either way I don't think gaming and schools really goes together. I mean if you can actually get a club together that isn't a bunch of whiners than that would be cool but most of the people at my school that play games I do are so bad at them that when me and some of my serious gaming friends would beat them they would cry(one of the literally cried) about it until we shut down the server. Personally I find it great to just put together a LAN outside of school restriction. A lot of times we sit our computers down at somebody's church where there is plenty of room, or a basement and play til about 8 in the morning. See by that time we had probably made 2 taco runs, and a Wendy's run. So with the combination of the food and the lack of sleep and the fact that we were staring at monitor for 10 hours straight we were always pretty busted by 7 or 8 o clock.
