I fell for the alt f4 trick when I started as a young lad.  :mad:

Learned something new though.

Me too, back in 2008.  I almost made the mistake of quitting, because I figured everyone in the game was a dick like that.
Glad I stuck around though.  I met a lot of great people here.
I hope the new guys will try and give this game (and the community) a fair shake.

Yes, but today's first time players seem to have a harder time learning the ropes.  We need to give them more time to get hooked before we start playing tricks like this.

Some of you assume that every gamer understands what was going on when you told him to hit Alt F4.
Some of you assume anyone asking for help is just a dweeb gamer and not someone interested in WW2 aviation and history.
Some of you assume that the new guy cares nothing about the Aces High community and the environment fostered within that community.
Some of you assume that there are no consequences to such childish jokes.
Some of you assume that it's your duty to club clueless noobs with Alt F4.
Some of you don't care that it makes an...  :neener:

Wow a thread about alt+F4. Well for all of you that wonder why, people do it, I am guessing it is because it didn't happen to you. It is actually kind of like an initiation, at least it seemed that way to me and when I came back in, I actually felt more accepted.
 If you think simple hazing, I am not referring to truly derisive comments, but the fact that the idea of tricking someone into force quitting the game, sends them away, never to return...why are you playing a war sim?

I never come to the forums, I came to post about the weird new night and when I saw this thread, I wondered if I was in it. Now I am. I'm probably not going to check replies and for the record, I don't generally haze, but not on behalf of the noob. Everybody is on such strained behavior around noobs, these days. It's like we exude, "please stay and play with us." So I just don't rock the boat, generally, people freak out about the littlest things.

Thanks for not stating who it was on the bbs. But by all means please report the next time it happens. Reports also generate logs for me to look at.

Whether you think it's funny or an initiation is irrelevant. The one guy who's opinion really matters seems to have an issue with it.

I never mind helping out new players if I have the knowledge.  I actually started to read this thread to argue I was the worse player in the game.  If we are discussing skill, I feel I am a contender. 

FWIW - We should ALL try to help out new players when they have questions.  For the most part, I have seen the community step up to assist when someone asks the questions.  That is a good sign.

Cane is on point with his OP.  Help them and help to grow our community.  We all know how steep the learning curve is. 

I hope to get a little more stick time in the MA.  Wouldn't mind posting a few missions to join just to get the newer players a little more engaged in the game.  Its simply tough when the numbers are a little low.
