A Newbie's List of Inside Jokes To Fake Your Way to the Finals:
By a Fellow Newbie
1) Kawazu -- just know that he's a professor of being a dog. Asking people to sing the song is also a great way to see who's new and who's a veteran in the group.
2) #this7 -- say only at final 7 and only after someone else says it first. Don't ask, just do it.
3) phrasing -- for any sentence that may be misconstrued (that's what she said jokes). Be careful not to over do it though.
4) Brenda -- If her name ever comes up, just hate her with an unreasonable burning passion. No one likes her and neither should you.
5) Rabble -- Don't know what it means or where it came from, but if someone says it, it should be like an involuntary reflex to repeat it. BE ONE WITH THE RABBLE!
6) Thanks Monica -- just thank her. Whatever she did is worthy of your appreciation. Similar to "bye Felicia" but more friendly
7) Xof -- Everyone is xof and you must love her/yourself. Any act of hostility towards xof will result in nothing but your misfortune
And most importantly, if anyone asks you any personal questions about yourself, just say you're gay, you're an accountant, and you're an alcoholic. You'll fit right inLast edited by grumpy on Sun Dec 11, 2016 7:32 am, edited 1 time in total.-

Close, you say #this7 with any number of a group of people, but you're learning"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12
"CC is an objectively attractive person." - Crazy
"You look like a happy version of Trent Reznor." - LicketyQuickety
"Do you practice sounding like you're high all the time?" - xofelf-

This isn't really a tip for playing, but something that I thought of after Nexus:
If you don't use your confessional to explain what you're doing, all the spectators will assume you're doing nothing and have no idea what's going on. Even if you're actually playing a great game, no one will have any way to know! They will actively root against you, and you probably won't be happy reading the spectator forums post-game."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

Don't make your confessional performance art about perceptions of you through SPV. It's lazy performance art that's been done before.In post 189, CuddlyCaucasian wrote:This isn't really a tip for playing, but something that I thought of after Nexus:

Yeah, I think the idea of a group of spectators actively watching a forum game as it progresses is a foreign concept to most newbie players, and even if they're aware of the fact that there is a spectator forum, it's unlikely that they will know just how active it is or what the expected level of providing information to the spectators is. I know that if I hadn't been a spectator for LoL before playing my first game, I would have had no idea what I was expected to do in my confessional.
Having said that, I think part of the responsibility should fall on the spectators themselves to ask players questions in the confessional and encourage them to communicate before criticizing them for being boring or inactive.PrivateI:I wish I could bang on the home keys on my keyboard to create an appeal to emotion. It sounds so...soothing.
