Conquer Club

Why don't we all try to be proactive about deadbeats and try to prevent some of the deadbeating before it happens? We all complain about them lets try to prevent them.

When you are in a game with a new recruit maybe ask them if they understand how the site works, if they have any questions mentor them.


I know it isn't the perfect solution but there are some positives to helping. More games can be completed without deadbeats and you might make more friends.

Lets not wait for them to come to us, lets reach out to them.

your name belies your nature

I would like to go to their home and pull their shorts over their heads but the Logistics are improbable so I say we go with Evil's Idea.

im sure you wont get attacked more...i say go for it...noobies notoriously like being told what to do....

im sure they will thank you for showing them the error of their ways in the most positive way...

could you pm me the games so i can read the chat..too...

im joking with semp here...just so everyone knows

most noob deadbeats sign up for a game, then don't come back because the game doesn't move. we have something in the works to reduce this from happening.

A very noble and wacicha-like suggestion!

I think its a shame that new people to the site are ridiculed for not understanding how everything works right away. Sure there are rules and instructions and countless threads, but when you enter a community like this everything is a bit overwhelming. And of course we know that the first thing most people want to do is join games and get playing, so when things turn out not to be real time or they are accidentally in a team game, it gets bewildering.

Then beyond the intial uncertainty, confusion and adjustment, players come to the forum looking for help and are often attacked or ridiculed when a little guidance is all they need. Like I said, I think its a shame and it forces many potentially good players and beneficial members away.

Of course there are players that come on demanding to be known as the greatest in the world (lamont ) or players that are overly anxious to post threads and ask repetitive questions....so I understand why its frustrating at times, but it seems like that hate of a few new people sometimes spreads to all new recruits.

eff da dedbeets.
