Title: Noobs are a pain
Post by: Norcal on June 02, 2016, 07:57:48 PM
That is right. New players are so -bothersome-.  They can't find their way around town,  have no idea how to get jobs and die like flies..in places where I am unable to even retrieve their boots.

We should just have the old players around..just our little inbred community. That would make the game better right?


WRONG!!!!!
WRONG!!!!!
WRONG!!!!

We need new players.  So go vote. Being number 12 on TMS will not get us as many new players as being number 1.

                                                            VOTE NOW
                                                            (please  ;D)

Really? Only 56 votes as of this evening?  Come on folks.  Or perhaps..you hate noobs.

I wonder if it might be more effective to get new players from sources other than TMC.  Like some of those play-by-post webforums, or advertising on MUSH OOC boards or something.

I mean this with all the love I can muster.

We already have two major voting threads.

People who want to vote will, people who don't, won't.

Please for the love of god stop making endless voting threads.

I understand you want people to vote and I think it's fair to prod someone maybe once a day, but when you post incessantly throughou the day verbally bashing people.  If I was a noob, I probably wouldn't play.

Since the above post by Asmoth was added, we have sunk to number 16 on TMS and  as Natua pointed out in another thread, we have relatively few new accounts.  In spite of the summer slow down, this is not good news. Clearly the strategy of not reminding people to vote in order to appease those who do not like voting threads has not been working.



QuoteDear Ginka, I confess that I voted, and not just because we only had twenty new accounts created last week.

As opposed to 2013 where we had 130.

(Caveat emptor: I have no idea what 'new accounts' means.  Is it new mud accounts or new characters?)

88 votes to put us in the top 10.

We're not in the top 10.

Seriously.

Also, our blurb on the TMS page is kind of boring, we should spruce it up a bit...
