i was un-n00bized.

actually

i think your list might have been an act of god.

i've been praying to the Lord every night for a list of things to make me much less like a noob. 7 days and 7 nights - and nothing!

but then on the 8th day, querion parted the clouds, there was sunlight, and it rained no more. the great flood...

3 more things, if i may add them:

1. make your own icon. people ignore people without icons. just as importantly, don't use other players' icons!

2. if you can find something out yourselves, do that instead of asking your gm, your agms, and every other member in the guild. like finding out which guild your guild is currently at war with - check the banner, check the declarations page, whatever.

3. don't double post constantly! jesus. that's one of the greatest irritants i think we face in this age. i mean, septuplet posting is rather alright, but double posting? please. no class.

for all you know, i could be one of leif's many alts. *nods sagely*

now, i do not think it would be fit to let the n00bs see you blinking like that. perhaps we should rush you to the doctor in order to get that checked...

by **Querion** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 6:28 am

Nah, I'm just confused, since if you're an alt, shouldn't you supposed to use a different icon as well?

by **Killer** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 1:16 am

Querion makes a very strong point...Stupid Hypocrites :wink:

by **Bundesbank** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 1:22 am

logic would dictate that that would be the proper course of action.

however, since logic is curiously absent in this choice of icon, it was not an improper course of action, nor does it defeat the purpose of an alt.

an alt's purpose is multi-faceted:

1. it can add to one's burgeoning harem;
2. it can add erroneous posts and lame flames to a thread;
3. it can be used as a tool of confusion in order to confuse one's enemies and foes alike.

how simple minded of you Querion. do you not see how using the same icon on both alts is simply the best form of deception in hiding my true identity? tsk.

by **Querion** » Tue Jul 08, 2003 4:57 am

Ah, well. Live and learn. :wink:

Call it vanity, but this thread deserves a lift from the depths of Tempers Ball... :p

Querion - this is excellent.

Yes, it did deserve a lift.

OK i am more lost then when i started. I've been playing this game for going on 5 years now. I don't think my name is inventive but then with name like this

1.JulHaz LootedLance.
2.CortMilf IronFinder
3.ChalLaz PriestFear

I sorta wonder. So when I joined the Wandering Wolves way back when that was wrong to if I remember correctly they had like50 to 60 members made up of almost all nOObs. So that was wrong too.
Don't bug you GM or other guild officers, when i started i think they fear my name when they saw me log on to ICQ (had that before I started playing).
The flaming thing I do get, I had one war way back when and it ended when SD trashed me for picking on Rath, but then again i think i got trashed by just about everybody who played the game at that time.
So since I did everything wrong the first time can i go back to being a noOb and start over this way i can bug my GM even more then i do now.

How about the ones of us that have become re-n00bized?

*scratches head*

Wow, a Nyarlahotep sighting!

Welcome to the game Rawkir, anyone with a K, W, A and an I in their name is ok by me. Think about it, you're just a Q away from perfection

Pfft you noob!!!

If you ain't got the V you ain't worth squat ~L~

and the dog in monopoly is god. And unlike most here i was never a newb i was born a vet.

Really though that was cool Q. Wish you'd of been a vet and done that when i got here. Maybe then i wouldn't of ran into SD and Arsenal the way i did ~LMAO~

I posted in NPA!!!!! Dear Foret......

:checks to make sure he didn't say nothing to get in trouble for:

~whew~ that was close.

I think you nailed it... lmfao

I need an icon. Hmm. Have to think up a good concept.

So how many times do you have to post to get the glorius title of spamming goat?

I'll pull a magical number out of the air and say 5000.

And people say I'm good for nothing but slight amusement ;>

by **DaoLong** » Sat May 15, 2004 7:47 pm

Yay for magic!

by **Voice Vilena** » Wed May 19, 2004 9:29 pm

DaoLong..if you need an icon post a request in this thread here in this same forum.

If you've posted for an icon in that thread before it's just a waiting game really..waiting on an icon-maker to see your post and make your icon that is.

by **DaoLong** » Mon May 24, 2004 1:00 am

Thanks. Still thinking of a good idea. Maybe a chinese dragon.

amazingly, I read the entire thread. o.O

thanks for the info on how to un-n00bize myself.

now lets see if it works...

by **Kitson** » Wed Jun 16, 2004 3:36 pm

Okay point is, every monopoly piece except the dog is silly to fight over. However over the dog, I have been known to have long and drawn out arguments. And after that is finally settled then we have to start in on who gets to be banker... (The other people just want it because they cheat. I on the other hand honestly like the position

)

edit: hhmmmm, yeahhhh... so I guess that little two on the bottom of the page means more than one page... Wow sometimes I amaze myself.

Okay, I have been thinking about this for awhile. Can anyone tell me?

If you have no troops and you build barracks that reduces expense.

If you have troops and you build barracks and that reduces expense too.

But does it make a difference if you have troops or not while building barracks?? besides the expenses being higher or lower?

Do anyone understand what I mean? lol
