What should I do? (sister problems.)

[kaseius]

Okay, I'm the sole owner of my GC, games, controllers, and memory card. (She has her own card.) I pay for the Hunter's Liscense, and she expects to take turns playing every hour. I told her she couldn't play just a little bit ago, because she wanted to. I want to be the one who gets to play it a lot (online). What should I do? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Noco-Esmaj]

Well I guess when she want's to play and your playing, you could both play multi offline.
That's one option. Another option could be that she pays for the online service and you split the time 50/50.

Smack her in the face and tell her to get her own GC and PSO.

[Bob_Vila]

i say hire somebody to ummmmm... silence her http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_quickdraw.gif or just make her pay half.

[TeamPhalanx]

Be a good sibling and let her play whenever you're not. I am opposed to the alternate hour idea, as it is your system.

You should let her have her own time, but not at the expense of your own playing time.

[bluefall]

Monoxide has definetly got the idea. Smack her in the face and tell her to get a job. Or give her some money and tell her to go to the store and buy u some food. If she says no threaten her to slap her a gain. Then slap her and repeat step 2. Slap the hell out of her and get some food. Win-Win situation if u ask me.

[Ouroboros]

If she's generous with other stuff that doesn't involve PSO, let her play. If she's not, delete her characters and chuckle.

[MajinSSJVegetto]

Just share the time.

Make it 2 or 3 hours though, as in 1 hour you waste to much connect time and such.

Just let them play and they will get bored and stop quicker.

Wait, after reading his profile, I doubt this will even be considered.

You could always use your mood to scare her off.

Just be a good brother and share, its not that hard. Hell I'm happy if I can make one of my family members happy using one of my machines. I suppose its just about not being selfish.

[MonoxideChild]

From the sounds of it, she just wants the game to herself. I'd say shove her out of the house, and get back to PSO. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Vantamiath]

I went through this couple of years ago on DC version with me brother...before he went to college.

But a year with sharing PSO wouldnt deal, so what did we do?

He bout his own, we tied up both phone lines and played allllll morning on school days.

I dont think this is the answer you were looking for though.

(Unless she's old enough to get a job--where I say she can buy her own. But if you're not playing-let her play, but if she's playing and you want to..BOOT HER'!!)

My thoughts exactly.

I have a similar situation. I am one of four, and the two oldest (myself and one of my youngers) saved up our money together and bought a Cube, Mem. Card, controller, and SSBM. Then, we got the full PSO setup - BBA, HL, a 50-foot cable, and an extra memory card. They bought their own controllers. I let them have characters on my memory card, and they can get on when I'm not on. When I have friends over, I expect them to let us use their controllers. Pretty fair if you ask me.The problem is when my oldest younger, I'll call him J (the one that helped buy it) wants to play. Good thing is, he is about my level, so we can play offline multiplayer comfortably. When I first got the game, it was a pain because the me and J leveled up fast, then we let them play and they wanted us to baby-sit them all the time. We were in hard mode, and they always wanted to play normal forest runs. So we got things straightened out, and hence the current situation.

I like his idea..but anyway since violents should be the last thing we resort too (or so i've been told for the past 15 years)
I suggest the following:
Talk to your mom,
Tell her your sister bugs you too much and you can't play enough to enjoy it
Your mother should lay down the rules and since you PAY FOR EVERYING, it's rightfully yours. I have the same problem with my little brother, but since i figure i can spend my time doing something constructive I usually give in and he sometimes levels my character. So it's not all bad but,

if that fails..go right ahead and smack her.

[Numair]

My bro and me used to fight all the time who got to play dc version.So I let him play at day(not all the time) and I just stayed up all night and played.Im a night owl! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_sleep.gif I play most on gc though cause he usually wants to play Metroid Prime.

[eRUPT]

Talk about some bratty little kids.

[Spy]

If more kids would get out their and earn their own damn money you wouldnt have such problems. My household has 2 gamecubes and 2 xboxes; nobody fights over anything videogame related.

[ManInBlueHat]

I went out and bought (the very day upon just SEEING GC PSO) my own GC, PSO(ordered), card, BBA(also ordered), license, misc. hardware, etc. just to avoid the idea of playing with my twin brothers' stuff! I knew from the start we would argue to no end otherwise.

Heh, exactly how it is for me right now. I was thinking of buying my own GC and PSO but I changed my mind.

I'm just going to buy an Xbox when PSO comes out for it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif

[Kent]

I let my sister borrow my Xbox to watch DVDs when I'm not using the thing.

Be a good sibling and let her play... just remove the modem unless she pays half of the HL fee. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Drayma]

Maybe a family talk. Siblings wars can get nasty, like broken controllers.

[RedFox]

i say let her play... my sister used to play alot and it turned out that shes in fact better then me at PSO. she doesnt play online anymore because of people thinking that shes a guy pretending to be a gurl and then flaming her about it... but i look forward to offline split screen so we can compete a bit... its also good to br nice to your siblings... awwwwww...

[kaseius]

Well, she was being rude to me, so I honestly grounded her from my GC until monday. Hah, and my mom even grounded her off of it today for not doing her chores. I really need a phone jack in my room..
