reeople complaining I don't want to read old games
"it's only a game" and I believe it would be more fun to learn from experience rather than reading through old games. Those threads are very very long and most of my day is taken up with other things, some days I am not even sure how I will fit in getting online (ie tomorrow). Plus this is more of a gradual acclimation. Reading through old games, I'm not sure I'd take everything in as well.
When I signed up for my first game, i started to read a prior game to get aquainted with the gameplay. That lasted for about 20 posts before i said "To hell with this".
However you seem to have figured out more quickly than I did how things work around here. While i won't condemn you for not reading past games, I will no longer judge you as a "confused newb" either. If you are innocent, beat on some doors and find us a scumbag.
