Firstly let me say most of the people here have been more than welcoming and patient with their time. That said, some members need to hold their tongue if they lack the patience to deal with questions.

Not everyone is brilliant with forums or computers general, I haven't played a board game since I was a kid and decided to give this a go to kill some time and enjoy myself. I often use the shoutbox for quickfire questions that I know can be answered quickly and simply, if I made a forum post for every question I have I would have 15 forum posts by now. I understand it is mainly for finding games, but if it can save a forum post then why not?

I don't want to be the "new guy making noise" but I'm not the only one on the end of this and see it happening to others. The green PBEM games are there for a reason and I have played by doing and rewatching the tutorial, so there is still a lot missing but I can play the game no problem. But I don't have an intricate understanding of it like some. And yes I did read the rules, and no I still don't follow it all. Sorry if you can't handle that.

It should be fun. And one person in particular is taking away from that.

Thank you to the people who have helped me, and a big "stfu" to the people who want to throw "Noob", "Newb" (the cool spelling it seems) and "srsly?" when questions are asked.

And thats me done venting.

You are right and make great points on the forums.

For some of my questions the answers really were short,simple and they were answered with one response in the chat box.

I think the big thing is that not everyone wants to read forums, search and become an expert on the game before they have even played a round. That takes time and for some people it can only be learnt from doing. I know I'm such a person.

So if I'm in a game the last thing I want to do is look for forum posts when I can just ask a quick "Hey, got a question real quick. Can my PT's be used to buy units?" really is yes or no. I remembered they were used for the card decks and holding lands in place of units but couldn't remember if they could be used to purchase units themselves.

Thats all really, I know it sounds whiney and over the top but I ave to say... I just hate rude people. Thats all.

Thanks for your input on the matter though, it does make sense.

I meant rules as in "kingmaking" and not rules as in "how to play".

Also Harakon I didn't even realise you were talking to me until you started getting all bum sore and typing in caps.

Someone asked the other day in the shoutbox "How do I check my stats" and you threw a "Srsly?" at them. Yes, even I see that as quite silly but I'd never just say "Seriously?"

I know all about helping and educating people as it was my job. And I always spoke to them like adults regardless.

Well I never said "newbie" or "noop" to anyone...
I know it was in there somewhere because my reply was "Calling me a newb reinforces my position and does not offend me"
