Last night, after a grueling round of trying to obtain the elusive white ring (third time is NOT a charm btw), I decided to stop by the lobby and say 'hi' to a few friends. Well, my quick stop turned into me, 'rinn and DivA played a game of "Stump the Censor!" Now I know this is probably old news to most of you, but I was amazed at the words they bleeped out. I know some words in Europe mean different things than in America. For example, "poof". Anyway, the 10 yr old in me, and I hope them, found all of this quite amusing. I guess we all did 'cause we did it for almost an hour. beigelaugh.gif

You guys should try it! It's quite fun. Be creative! You'll be surprised!!

~it's odd, i can see the reasoning for sensoring vulgar-type words, but they also sensored words that really have no need for sensoring...example: bosom.. =/ i would actually prefer players to use that word over others that i see spoken frequently.. though, i'm surprised that lube didn't make the list.. ;p

lol ~ fondle.. ^^
knead..
stroke..

~perhaps ST had't fully realized how context could subtly shift the meaning of a word.. whatever the case may be ~ it was fun to explore this.. =)
