your age doesn't make any difference at all.unless you were trying to buy some tasty Canadian beer. :) by the sounds of it you were acting more mature than those guys anyways. doesn't sound like that clan is worth having anything to do with.

Well, you gotta admit though, having a 12 year old on ur team can be a prob. Sometimes, the common sense isnt there (not that i have a prob with 12 year olds, but yah know?). As well, Im 15, but I can kick most peoples asses on Halo PC (MOST), and the funny thing is, it sounds funnier to me when you have a 25 year old playing Halo compared to a 15 year old. Not that it matters, anybody who respects Halo is cool.

how is 25 any funnier than 15? I'm 27 and I love playing Halo. I grew up with video games and I will always keep playing. Age is a factor in many things in life, but I think games is one thing where it really doesn't matter. We're all just playing as a way of having fun and relaxing. I think the RELAX part is something a lot of people forget to do.

12 or not, if u give younger players the cold shoulder then Halo PC / CE will die becuase newcomers will be to intimidated / scared to play

Hi, im 15 and for a few days ive been trying to join the [Blank] clan. Ive been playing with them for a few days to show them that i didnt suck ( i was doing better than them in some cases), and they where where cool with me (even after i told them i was 15). But then today i was playing with a seemingly nice guy who was cool with me, untill he asked how old i was ( i was behaving), i said i was 15 and he totally flipps out at me. then mid argument a guy i was playing with earlier who was cool to me starts flaming me once my age is pointed out, at that point I left after being fed up with it.

So my question is this,
WHY does it matter how old i am if im good and behave ?

My little brother is 8 (I am a 14 year old girl), and he can take the pants off of many 18 year olds in halo.

Eh. There's an easy solution for that kinda stoopidity. Don't reveal your age, sex, nationality, etc.
If someone asks, I tell 'em that I endeavor to remain faceless because I want to be known only by my words.

Their private organization, their rules. If you don't like it, don't hang around with them.

You do sound like an intelligent kid and there was no reason for the guy to flip out. I have a limit of 16 for members of my clan - but this is strictly to alleviate any possible parental tension. I heard little Johnny cursing up a storm over there!!! So while you may be a fine candidate there are sometimes other circumstances which merit a 'discrimination' against age. But as to yell at someone after they have been accepted is not permissible behavior in my clan either. I'm even making my best friends brother wait until next year to join, (even though his mother doesn't care) just to be fair with my guidelines. - They have to apply to everyone fairly. I am sorry you were discriminated against in this way - because it causes us with resonable membership policy to look bad...

Who's Mine?
It's in the Horitsu.
There is no age limit for the Chapter however and you are welcome to join that.
But in the By-Laws of my Clan it clearly states that All Applicants must be 16 years of age.


If you are talking about their website ( especially if members tried to get you in) I would file a complaint with the Founder/President/Shogun/Leader of that clan.

Try joining a different clan. There are plenty out there, and there are bound to be a few that don't descriminate against age. I know of one that the average age of all of the members is fourteen.
