Post subject:  A F2P Guide to Winning Over Parents

For anyone under 16 who have overprotective, annoying parents who let you have little to none independance, this guide MAY help you win over your parents to let you go p2p.

Firstly. This is NOT 100% Guaranteed. But it has recently worked for me, and i consider my mum a very hard nut to crack. But nobody can ever know how the parental mind works :wink:

Step 1
Soft Boiling
A good thing is to sweeten your parents up for a few days, do extra help round the house etc (i didnt do this, but it may help). ALWAYS make sure your showing your good side, and not your dominant bad side :)

Step 2
Initiating Conversation
Wait for your parents to do a cock up, the bigger the cock up the better. Then proceed to tell them after doing something so humiliating/painful etc towards you, you deserve a small treat(self payed for) and a reward for undergoing such humiliation/pain etc

Step 3

Proceed to tell your parents about your intent to pay for a month, quickly follow by telling them not to worry as it only costs $10/£5 and you will pay for it yourself, and its well worth the cost. If you have a brother or sister that p2p for this game or another, say 'Ohh go on, (Name) does it with (game)'. And finish the sentence with 'Well, will you atleast think about it? for me? as a one off?'


Like i said, not 100% guaranteed, but hope it helps- this game deserves a few more p2p's :)

And never mention that you can kill rats with large lasers in this game.

I'd think posession of nuclear waste and whoring would be more imperative to steer clear of :roll:

The only problem is that once you paid for a month and got a captain above level 20, you can not revert to f2p with this captain ...

shut up, we all know you are a p2p now. You just hide behind that account because you know that people will pod you for the crap you spout on the forums.

You are an idiot. :roll:

If i had a ptp account, i would spout it all over the forums, because

A) no-one could kill me anyway, i'd be too low level for a while,
and
B) I'd want to show off.

So just shut up? All the splurge about me being ptp was funny for a while, but now its just getting on my nerves.

If you are hiding behind a low-level char (even though everyone knows your main), why shouldn't he be allowed to do that?

I'm not hiding behind it. I set it to main because I'm leveling it. Once the character is at the desired minimum level, I change the main to another character and start leveling that one.

I have reasons for why I do things.

Maybe he's doing that as well, he just levels very, very slowly?

Nice guide, I didnt have to win over my parents, I just found an internet advert that actually advertised something I understood.

I even know what your account is, so don't bother saying you're not p2p.

This topic was almost a week old before you posted that offtopic comment.
Well done.
