Title: What would you do if ....
Post by: TopAce on March 14, 2004, 09:19:54 am
What would you do if a complete newbie opened a new thread, in which he criticises FreeSpace with full power? He complains that this game is obsolete, and he admires that there are some people who still have this game on their shelves(and Hard drives). He doesn't understand what news this game can provide, and he doesn't know why it is so fun to look after an old game like this. He claims that FreeSpace has no future, and doesn't have present, either.

Well:
1. I would not give him welcome beam.
2. I would say : Starcraft.
3. I would warm him that his thread will be closed in no seconds.

*dons flame suit*
Sit down, and watch him burn.
That, or point him to the ST conversion.

Actually, we MIGHT want to reasonably point out what good SCP, different MODs and strong communion have done to this game.

But **** that, flaming is TEH FUNNAY!

Make statement, "Thank you for your comments, It's always refreshing to see a well thought out tirade of idiocy!"

   Then space the clueless noob out the nearest airlock (banning him for life) ;7

See nothing complicated..  Back to business as usual!

if only banning people could induce pain remotely :p

As for what I'd do...
I'd scream "heresy!", and gather together a huge mob of fanatics and burn him on a stake

Oh, horrors. Someone saying a dated space sim is actually... old???


It's not like it hasn't happened about once a month on Nodewars and the like. Next to nobody's heard of the SCP, you know.

Guys, I'm surprised at your lack of sympathy for ignorance and misinformed people. :no: I'd welcome him and hope he enjoys the game, but if he doesn't, then I don't need to make him feel any worse - his punishment is self-inflicted if he deserves it, though usually they don't.

I agree with this. He is free to tell his opinion. Would you give him a special title?

I'd explode in a white hot ball of rage.

Oh no wait, that's what'd happen if they deleted my porn collection.
