i have heard time and time again " u newb (insert player here)" or "oh that (insert squad here)... what a bunch of newbs" without really paying attention to it - but lately, upon further rumination, i believe that without newbies, TW would be a ghost of what it is now, for some very good reasons.
Reason #1 would be, most obviously, pub. I know most of you don't dare go into pub, and mostly congregate in elim(s) or #arenas, but remember, pubs usually have more than half of the TW population playing. that's a sizable amount - and tw did start out as a team basing game.
Reason #2 is pretty obvious too - people do, in fact, get better. that one guy that doesnt know what 'greened' or 'freq' means may be the next allstar twld player. well maybe not but you know what i mean. you have to start somewhere
Reason #3 is popularity. without an influx of new people, tw, and cont for that matter, would die. lets face it, even though its incredibly addictive, to most people (including all my friends) it is a "little ship game." without newbs coming in, and with bored/frustrated/addicted players leaving/cursing and leaving/leaving but coming back again in a couple months, there wouldn't be a future for it would there? and with bigger and 'better' games out there, it wouldnt be long until tw (or ss, w/e) would be a shadow of its former self.
Reason #4 is, with all due respect, fresh meat. where else do you think most elim vets get their kills? some might go for higher bounty, but most kill whomever blunders into their path. and even though two leet squads battling it out is always fun to watch/participate in, you do need some 'ego boosters' sometimes.
Reason #5 is - most people playing TW are normal people. i.e. they don't have time to play for 24/7(the hours/weeks) like some crazy players. which is good, because a lot of people have to understand that this is a game. newbies bring a certain amount of relaxation to tw.
Reason #6 is - without any nubs, the amount of chatting would go down dramatically - because lets face it that's what some people talk about nonstop. oh wait, that's a reason against it. #%&^@%&
well score = 5-1, with newbs winning. so i salute those guys who zig instead of zag, and struggle with the =, ;, :, /,and ' functions daily. they are the greatest.
if you have any corrections, additions, <3, or random insults...well this is a forum, go ahead
see you online, pac
