I wrote a response to Kenneth Boys in this echo on December 22nd explaining
how he could enable Clean Mode using Lordcfg.exe.  But he's not mentioned
receiving the message, which is odd.  At any rate, all you have to do is to
run LORDCFG.EXE.   Under Game Options, there is an entry named Clean
Mode.  Set it to ON if you want LORD to use Clean Mode.  If your LORD game
is for adults, set Clean Mode to OFF.

Last time I posted to this guy, the Prism BBS html interface software made
two copies of my message.  I hope that does not happen again.

Some IGMs such as The Outlands Tavern have different dialogue for some
events based on whether a player is married and/or whether LORD is running
in Clean Mode.  But in the long run, if you allow children to play LORD,
you are just going to live with the fact that it is a game for ADULTS, and
it will have some aspects their parents may not like.

But if the BBS sysops don't prevent access to adult-oriented games to
children using their boards, that's THEIR program, not LORD's.  That is my
personal opinion on the subject.  LORD is nowhere going to be sexually
explicit, unless you run a LORD menuset that uses a lot sexually explicit
dialogue.  You'll have much worse stuff in any other door game such as
DOOM.  Its up to parents to make sure their children don't have access to
games that are not suitable to them.  As one of the primary LORD authors of
this decade, I do not think it is our job to play "policeman" for
BBS sysops.  If your bbs users are too young then block access to the bbs
door games that are not suitable for them.

Merry Christmas greetings to all of my BBS and LORD friends. Donald Tidmore
