RE: ROUND 3 - PokeBeach's First Computer Game Battle Royale
ATTN: Mods, or whoever can edit the rules page. The MPAA link on "Da Rules" page leads to an empty page. (It's still mpaa.org, but it has no information available.)
I did some digging and found the base guidelines on what causes a PG-13 movie to become an R-rated film.
As much as I would personally be ecstatic that BGO could potentially be used as the final match of this contest, I highly doubt it would fly with the mods. While there's no nudity, there is a bit of sexual content, though it's not shown. (One of the locations on the "map" is a brothel). If anything, I'd give the game a T rating (PEGI-12 for those in Europe). The final decision would have to come from the moderators though.

...A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year olds and younger to attend. If nudity is sexually oriented, the film will generally not be found in the PG-13 category. If violence is too rough or persistent, the film goes into the R (restricted) rating. A film's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, shall initially require the Rating Board to issue that film at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive must lead the Rating Board to issue a film an R rating, as must even one of these words used in a sexual context.
