Struggling with the micros? ITT I help.

I think people overestimate the number of noobies who are arrogant. You see one or two and paint everyone with the same brush. I'd say the majority are honestly eager to learn and either still getting their feet or struggling with some aspect, or they just havnt clicked to the best use of their time to progress. I really dont think we needed another "fuck noobs if they wont put in the effort" post so soon after Spoons, but I guess imitation is flattery/etc. Someone else will probably think Spoons cool and do the same again in a week or two.

To clarify here since it didn't go over so well in that particular thread, my post was more part of my ongoing campaign to get more people into IRC and not so much of a "fuck the lazy bastards" type deal. It's soooo much easier to help most individuals there than here, and I know that I got at least 2-3 different newcomers to IRC through that thread, and so it was well worth it imho. The last thing I want to do is discourage someone from playing and coming here.

And for the rest of it, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings so I'll refrain.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I think redzilla would be a lot happier and a better contributor if he didn't try to be so "hardcore" about everything.

Spoon/Others, I have a question about IRC.

This may not be the spot for it, but WHEN is everyone in? I have checked it multiple times but never found anyone in the channel (this was about a month ago) and gave up trying. Is there a busier time of day to catch people in there?

There's like 20+ people in there almost all the time, including right now when I counted 21 including myself. If you never find anyone in the channel, you're probably connecting to the wrong server. Watch the video I posted in the sticky on the subject in the commune.

redzilla is the reason why I didn't play NL for like a month

This could be taken a few different ways. Maybe some clarification is needed.

He yelled at me and I stopped playing NL

Well you have an avatar of a tranny who looks like a 12 year old girl so I can see how that could have discouraged you.

If you didn't want to know, you shouldn't have asked

I'm not calling you a pussy, I'm just saying. And I'm more of a Gia Darling kind of guy anyway.

Gia Darling is a busted old slut, it's all about Vaniity

Yeah but I have a lot of her old shit which does me fine.
