I don't find this funny either.  It really takes a juvenille mind to come up with something so stupid.

Alt-F4 should kick them directly to the TA.  Any noob who goes directly to the MA after signing up has it coming.  Specially if they ask a question like "How do I start my engine".  
I have no problems helping those new to the game who've had the basics and need  further training in the high learning curve of this game but get real.

A Right of Passage
« Reply #20 on: February 22, 2003, 02:11:38 PM »
I fell for the Esc-P trick in AW (once :D )

After duping a few newbies and getting a few good chuckles with it I moved on.

I always considred it an an 'initiation' or right of passage into a new social circle.  A lot of guys know what I'm talking about here.  If a noob is so put off by falling for this after the first time, then they have no business on a computer much less an online flight sim/community.

SOB I only pretended to think that was funny at the time because of the peer pressure you and your like put upon me to try and fit in, to try to be cool.  I have learned since then that laughing at others' misfortune is not cool and it's not even funny, and I really wish you would take this game more seriously.

imo these are the same types of people who will shut the game off after they fail to kill someone right away and uninstall it as being crappy because they are unwilling learn it.

Gone from the game. Please see Spikes or Nefarious for any Ahevents.net admin needs.

I agree,yes the same questions get asked over and over again by newbies,but without em the game wont grow,we were all new once,if you have heard the same question before,dont answer,carry on with your game,someone else will help them, no need to treat folks like this.:mad:

LOLOL//Ilike the Alt F4 goes to training arena....

Better yet ALt F4 should take them to the Help pages....

I played AW for 4+ years...

When i cam eto AH..i printed the 4-5 pages of dot cammands and basic playing....

HAd it taped to the wall .....

These frikn newbies who ask how to drive a tank ---how to turn engine off really need to read the diddlying instructions...

I will help any one...and glad to..but BASics need to be read first...
..Now if some one asks..How do i fire rockts and Hit somthing..,,that is different...


But i have notced alot less peopl asking really basic questions latly..

and yes..I do think the Alt F4 thing is funny....

If they dont laff at themselves.for that.....then they will really hate my jokes and my Posts...lololloololo


Salute
