After that point, the guy seemingly refused to talk to me.
I know it doesn't apply to everyone, -BUT EVERYONE IS NEW AT ONE POINT-. Don't laugh at newbies because they try. You weren't better than them when you started.

true. arrogance and elitism must DAI.
whine and sniffle about non-rping newbies and then laugh at them or refuse to rp with em the next day? that, sirs and madams, is called hypocrisy.

He called it 'lolwut' just because the guy asked an honest question?
sure, he asked in the wrong manner, but it was still a valid question...that's called being misguided, not being a lolwut.
Don't get me wrong, Roleplaying is the main reason I'm here on this server and in this community, and I do my fair share of 'lolwut bashing'
But have we become so elitist that we think a simple question asked in the 'wrong format' makes somebody a Lolwut?
I think, things like this are the things that should make all the seasoned Roleplayers on this server take a step back to examine ourselves and ask ourselves that question..
We shouldn't have allowed ourselves to become so jaded that we think a simple question, asked in an OORP manner makes somebody a lolwut.
Yes it's in the wrong format, but being wrong =/= lolwut.
*nods*
The Elitist and Egotistical personalities around here need a swift kick in the ass so that they will tone it down a bit..
Or rather: Elitism needs to go away.

Welcome to the new Gamma elite.
Sadly, it's such a regular occurance that even the factions can't be bothered and the powers that be don't seem that interested.

And you'll all notice the general attitude of the community at large...
They don't care about incidents like this until it affects them directly.
*sigh* Sometimes I'm glad I'm leaving in a couple days, it'll really give me a chance to take a look at this community and ask myself if I want to come back.

And so says someone who spent his less than a week's time in a faction only to scold a few people who he deemed worse at RP than him and brag about how his abilities were superior, despite the fact that it was me who convinced him about trying to improve things instead of complaining?

I'd only despise someone if he blatantly ignored RP, not because he tried to but couldn't meet up a very high standart.
Apart from the attitiude I haven't appreciated to bear witness to so far, I'm glad to see that there is a possibility of another Unioner faction being formed, be it more sympathized with Corsairs or not.

The difference is that AU is an official faction, and is supposed to show an example. <.<

Do I have to remind you that you got sanctioned for mocking the 'lolwuts' of this server? Weren't they new as well?
You look silly now.

True, we must be kind. I have very little tolerance for lolers myself, but people who know me, and myself, can say that I am very nice to people who show effort at RP.

Eh. Maybe it was because I felt the guy was doing efforts or something.
