Hmm... Just to keep this thread up...

I suppose my badge would be a crown or tiara, maybe?

[Dark Drache]

I am a horrible teacher...
so maybe...
I could acompany them and help them out from time to time...
much easier then actaully teaching them about the game...

well there will always always be a need for people to back up, or attack for others, others who kinda know how to play the game and just need some help, maybe because they just are overwhelmed by the MMO environment.

Well, we'll all be worrying about our own characters, but I don't see any reason why some of us can't help others at the same time right?

You don't have to help anyone, no one is asking you too if you don't want to. However some people will want to help others, be it in a support, mentoring, combat, or just a simple point in the right direction capacity. I personally feel the more people who are willing, capable, and have the passion it takes to help a new generation of MMO players, the better the gaia community will be.

I haven't touched anyone's post unless it's to quote, and I definitely wouldn't delete one of your posts, seeing as how you give a breath of life to just about any thread you post in. and I don't think I can delete anyone's post but my own anyways.

[Redimus]

Nevermind, wrong thread.

Apparently its flaming if you quote dictionary definitions for words like moron and ******** and then compare the actions of a poster to said definition....

*Delete, delete.*

That might be it... I've found a good way to get a point across is look for old quotes from famous people about ignorance and just post them, Shakespeare was good at it. Not that I'd condone such actions, being the type that wants to grow the community, I'm just saying.

I hate history.

I found a few...

Albert Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Rich Cook: "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."


They're actually Universe related quotes...
But they're so true.

Silly Rich Cook, The universe doesn't produce morons, morons produce morons.

and Mtv encourages it. wink

insults and the universe at large aside, I pose a question to you Red. If someone who was genuinely uninitiated with MMOs and noticed that you had a massive charge level (jokes aside) came up to you and asked you, in a respectful and literate manner if you could show them the ropes how would you respond?

It would do Redimus' oil pumping chrome plated heart much good to meet that one in a million newb who had humility and the capacity for respect and literacy.

I would gleefully try to teach them every single thing I know, and depending on their performance I would be thrilled to endorse their membership into my clan despite their inexperience.
