It gives me a lot of plessure getting under thier skin. its easy too. .
Even if it gets me banned im gong to try and do this with as much restraint as possible. I voted the player. (Batman mafia mini) and he came back like I said. You cant keep saying im wrong as you want. What ever makes you feel better. It does not change a thing.

Danger: All newibe games do there best to teach. Sometime some people are rougher then others when it comes to newbie games and what not. Truthfullly after you play a newbie game if you haven't learned not to do something then you will be in trouble playing other games on this site. That is what an IC is supposed to show you. Some come off as well jerks and some are nice about it. Doing something new isn't wrong, but you have to understand bringing a new idea in will get serious flack.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.

yeah aparantly newbies don't like to be called n00bs or told they are newer to the site and may need help. I got lynched back in like 06 for joking in RV stage and calling someone a n00bie......alas. I'm ussually a nice IC though.

But your actual point is correct, new ideas are sometimes taken with a grain of salt until properly implimented and analyzed. (and most poeple don't want to be a guienea pig!)

it won't get you banned, but if you don't listen, or when I shoot down some logic and ask you a question, and you just vote me, it first of all

DOESN'T HELP YOUR TEAM
DOESN'T HELP YOU
DOESN'T HELP MY OPINION OF YOU
DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU

it will just make me angry that you didn't answer my question, and refuse to cooperate, which is pretty counter productive because I'll probably get pretty mean.

I get meaner when IH posts in the GD section of the forum while ignoring the games he's playing in. Or when he flakes out of invitationals.

Those suck.

Thanks Lauren. With your post I corrected some 8 year old grammar. It's a shame it got quoted though. It's going to bug me for the next two minutes.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

Of all posts in the site, at least the spambot choose a pretty decent one to necro.

This was a great necro choice either way, and very relevant too!
