   A little forum psychology...
  Here is a thread that always pops up in a different guise.  This was based upon this thread.1:  Newbie realises 'visionary' idea, something the rest of us already want for the distant future.2.  The experienced users and those with a little common sense explain thoroughly why it cannot ocur on today's hardware because of lack of speed/time/money.3.  Newbie gets emotional and says we all have no vision.  Swearing starts.4.  The users respond with more logic and reason, served perhaps slightly satirically.  A few slaps and punches are swung.5.  Newbie goes crazy and starts lashing out at world, perhaps as he realises what a fool he has made of himself.  Tons of swearing and for some reason minorities are brought in.  In this case it was the gays.  In other cases it is some race or what ever.  Newbie's post ends with some final pathetic insult.Now why don't they ever just stop at stage 2 and learn a little and then post back something constructive?Hasn't anyone else seen this thread structure before?[edited by - Drath on February 5, 2004 6:33:02 PM]
  I have. I''ve also seen quite some threads nearly exactly like this one before.Was based upon what thread, btw?   [My Image Gallery (WIP)][Greatest Tetris clone evar!][Return your stolen MP3s] ;quote:Original post by Drath  Now why don''t they ever just stop at stage 2 and learn a little and then post back something constructive?Because they are noobs, like you said. Quite elementary, my dear Drath!   Christopher S.

Steven Vaughan-Nichols, eWeek ;  Sorry.  Messed up when I typed out the clicky. ;  Well, he did start designing games which mean he start to critize things. He is just ignorant. He failed to understand that people already foresee what he thought was the future. Implementing it is the impossible. When everybody says, "omg that''s impossible", he thought they didn''t agree with him.But the bitching is caused by his immaturity.I don''t really know if it''s appropriate to call him a ''newbie.'' because in order to have newbies, we must have experts, are we the experts? How do you define an expert in game design? ;  // are we the experts? How do you define an expert in game design? Yeah... that is kind of humbling when I think about it.  I guess I am only above average on the forum but in real life...Well anyway, I have no problems with part one.  Vision is good.  It is just so damn annoying when people don''t see the sense that pours out of properly set up arguments.
