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 :)

Nope I would have agreed and said "WOW! You too?" Brilliant! Besides, which newbies could actually spell that?

With a topic like this, I guess its hard for a newbie to know if people are serious or not. I`d hate it if I was just lumped in a category like that. I`m glad you agree that its unfair treatment of newbies.

Of course I was joking! It disturbs me that anyone could think that was a serious comment.

Its so unfair, I never win the Gameaday prize, I think i'm just gonna leave but before that I must make a topic on console wars.

Actually maybe I wont leave, just because Tony is so cool and Ali is da best in the world.

"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.

Winning what now?

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

We have? I'm not going anywhere unless you threaten me, even then I'll stay!

3. Make a topic on console wars

Never have, never will.

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

Ali and Tony - who? Rarely on here, can't be important.

5. Try to attack one of the regulars/notabeles
