Well to be honest I hate most newbies like anybody else but as I was taking a trip down memory lane on the FOG I noticed there is a patern for a newbie..

1. Complains at leats once about not winning and they pretend they have tried forever when really it is only 2 days they have been on.

2. After will they threaten to leave for attention (we've all done it)

3. Make a topic on console wars

4. Plead to Ali or Tony by sucking up to let them win

5. Try to attack one of the regulars/notabeles

Theres more somewhere :)

I was a newbie until a few days ago and I have to say I never did one of those things. It is only idiots like Wonderboy, cheatguru and Dan3443 who do that.

Sorry, I didn't mean I was surprised that you could impress me.

I meant that I was surprised that making the subject of 3 word emails sound filthy impressed me.

I know what you mean, the excitements builds as you realise there's an email for you. The tension mounts, but then, alas, it's all over far too quickly.

I've replied by the way.

Except for a couple of newbies, who were shown and guided on what they should be doing so as not to create havoc and insisted on carrying on.

They know who they were.
