About Newbies, Indies and set theory

[William Frederick Cody]

A petition:

Think positive about indies and newbies

Newbies/Indies are the fresh blood here for the server, don't forget this, dear forum community - we (forum) are not alone, and we are not the only one, playing here on this nice server.


And for the set theory: Don't forget, that the set of this forum community does really not include the set of the players on the server. It is otherwise: Forumlancer is of course important and all, but the whole set of the Discovery-server-playerbase is larger, and does include the set of the discovery forum community members.


On my angel, i have asked not only one pilot, if he is a) aware, that there is a handy forum for this cool game and/or b) registered...


Result:

50% negative on a), but that is of course related to my angel job for beginners, but also, if YES on a), it was
50% negative on b), on the players rank <60. Players over lvl 60 are asking other questions, mostly rule related.

also:

20% negative on b) on Cody, mostly if some customers asked for a pricelist of all guns and an overview, and my customers are rich, believe me. Shouldn't be bloody <strike>noobs</strike> newbies mostly...


Forumlancer should behave a bit more modest please.


Dear forum community: In average, when i sort the players list after rank, and look for "victims" on my angel when i am bored, the middle of the scrolling bar is ever between lvl 50 to lvl 60.
So, in my observations: 50% of the server players are not registered on the forums. Average for all times, you log onto the server.
In turn, 50% of the players on the server may not know about forumlancer, and also maybe don't care.
Please do not claim infamy, when innocence/idioty/do-not-know explains it suffiently.

Your forum RP may be well known, but for the server RP, you cannot expect the same.


...


Some more and funny hours on their char(s) will lead the ignorant newbs or indies to the forums later perhaps, like me and many other guys before.

Don't forget your roots, you were a fool too, wasn't you?
Help newbies, and invite indies to a better RP where you can, if you think they need/deserve a better one. But please, do not prejudge them, they may only have no glue, like yourself, when you started here.


Be more modest, be more helpful. Complaining doesn't help.


Thanks for reading.
