A Funny Little New Player Story

[Shelra]

.......................anyways, i thought that was funny and interesting.
so there are new players in the game, and they die just like we did 15 and a half years ago.
and wow, do girls ever get mad when they get looted by brigands!!!

Great story, made me laugh and also reminded me of something that happened to someone : Really new in the game and fairly new member to the guild, hanging out in the house one day and was just learning that there were Reds in the game. Decided to go exploring this new world and on her short travels she came upon Reds next to a camp. And they saw her!!!!!! All of a sudden about 8 Reds started chasing her ... Fear struck into her heart as she ran as fast as she could to her house, they were on her heels the whole way. She reached her home, and the Reds surrounded her house. She called out to all her guildmates in guild chat that she was surrounded by Reds! Please come help!!! They rushed to her house, puzzled though because they asked her how she came upon Reds. Because she was in Tram. And the Reds were Brigands. She was embarrassed, but lesson learned!

hahahahahahaha

send her on over, ill take over her training from here on in.
i can use a person with her mind set when we are out pvp'n

she really has half of it already locked down.
we just need to teach her to use a bola then all kill and she can run with me any day!

Better watch it she also has computer rage don't ever touch the mouse like I did, or she will rip into you. Its was like she was taken over by a demon. Through clenched teeth hissing out don't touch my mouse with hands up like claws ready to strike. I'm like excuse me it's my mouse, and it's my computer. She made the meanest looking face, and gave me the most even looking eyes she could, and told me. It was your mouse, and was your computer, but its mine now. I could not say nothing if I did I would of burst out laughing I had to walk away, and out the door to laugh. Her mom saw it all so I let her be the bad guy.

I found this thread to be quite enlightening on many levels, humorous in others. My kids are way past young adults and are now providing us with those blessed creatures called "grandchildren". However, my daughter has an 8-year-old who loves to play games.

Lady Elizabeth, I loved what your family has done and actually copy/pasted what you posted and sent it to my daughter. It's hard to know where to begin with parenting as it pertains to gaming in 2012. I certainly have no idea. But if I was a parent into today's day and age, I would consider something very similar to what your family has done.

I think this is a relavant topic and definitely worthy of evaluation. And I loved it that Poos daughters were having a blast yelling at one another across the hall. I got such a chuckle from that image. And of course it brought back memories of me and my (ex) RL husband yelling at one another from separate rooms as we adventured together trying to figure this world out. And the day he presented me with what I thought was a box of jewels that turned out to be a bomb, and he laughed his a** off over my corpse - man did he have to grovel when I refused to talk to him for a while.

Thanks for the information, memories and things to ponder!
