Worlds Funniest Newbie Questions...
« on: February 24, 2003, 09:21:39 AM »
Since the MA was loaded last night to 700, and I could not get in, I thought I'd drop by the training arena to see if I could help out some of our up and coming superstars. I was there all of 20 minutes, and got two nice belly chuckles.

Now, this is not to mock the new players. We were all new once. It's just for entertainment value. Names have been changed to protect the incompetent.

MuckMAW: "Jester, you need any help there?"
Jester: "Yeah, how do you lock onto your target?"
MuckMAW:"Uhhhh....lock on?"
Jester:"For the rockets."


MuckMAW: "Breaker, what's going on down there?"
Breaker: "I crash into the ground eveytime I take off."
MuckMAW:"Do you hear a noise, like a stall warning sound?"
B:"Yes"
M:"Your turning with too low airspeed and stalling your airplane"
B:"How do I make the plane go faster"
M:"Go to full throttle and hit P"
B:"I've been doing that and the planes not speeding up!"
M:"It takes a few minutes for these planes to get to top speed, especially when climbing. Whats your airspeed when you start your turn?"
B: "Airpeed?"

Please feel free to add your own. And if you can, stop by the training areana and lend a hand.

Noob1:  Why aren't my bullets having any effect? But I die from one ping?

Didn't one newbie come on here and ask why Atomic Bombs weren't modeled?

I give that one a 9.9 on the stupid scale....

Actually the player that asked that was WestAce (I think). He went on and on about why he couldnt find any jets, and kept asking why there is no modern aircraft like the F-16.  If you dont see any modern aircraft when you either downloaded/started the game, wont that give you a hint that there is NO modern jets in it??

Ok I'm feeling quite embarrassed.  There has been a time or two when I've been over water, seen a low blue bog and rolled to dive in on it....only to determine after I've started my run that I'm shadow fighting... yes yes,  I'm feeling foolish.... if this rates me as a dumbarse... guilty.  
BTW I can't hit my shadow, he has some kind of hack on him... bullets never bother him and he always flies so low to the water that I auger.

Newbie : Every time I start my engine, the sound goes away after a little while, then I crash.

Midnight : Did you run out of fuel?

Newbie : How do I know that?

Saw that dialog the other night ... Funniest dialog that I have seen in awhile ... thought I was gonna choke to death. Your patience was admirable.
