Why is it that SA:MP players are srs bussnies?

[Frank_Hawk]

Gandalf, after a whole night of drinking Im truly exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition to the Hennesy (rappers drink for all you criminal roleplayers) I had the opportunity to indulge in wine, beer and incurably black Aftershock (which is a very strong spirit) The combination of all have destroyed my body (just for the day) and Ive been left at the mercy of McDonalds breakfast to help aid me in the path back to standalone strength. 

Building on Gandalfs comments (and feeling better to communicate ) its important to recognise how important new players are. For example, all the roleplayers that were in Rage Incorporated [RI] were rated as the best pound for pound, but did you know they were all trained by the same people from new? Those new skins are open air for extreme opportunity. For example, we found Seanolk (when new) wondering around Gas Station 9 trying to figure out what there was to accomplish. Through the commitment of Rage Incorporated [RI] to new players, we taught him basic rules, people to speak to and a small taxi job. Through time and nurture, Seanolk left Rage Incorporated [RI] and continued his successful Argonath career. He continues to practise teaching others as he once was - in return having a successful relay effect.

The core point of this is that the platform we provide for new players will distinguish whether they will be good players/community members. If we take a serious stance towards helping new players, we will in turn improve roleplay and playability in the immediate future. If we choose to ignore these new players, we are contributing towards the negativity around this player base. 

When I was new in Argonath, I attacked Hank Rafferty for being a special blue cop (as a new player does  ) Instead of suspecting me; he took some time to teach me the rules, how to speak in local and how to become a freecop (often patrolling with me) I still look back to this day, using it as a launch pad for helping new players today.

In closing, I urge you all towards increased focus on new players helping them however you can. New players in my perspective are the very best roleplayers and in line with this will continue my commitment towards them. I now look towards the community to continue this legacy of building and strengthening our community for the benefit of all.

That's why we love you Frankie. <3

Quite really... out of curiosity, a few months back, I visited that Server as a "noob player" to see what all the hype by the LS-RP Haters on Argonath was about. Guess what, the first words said to me when I bugged some guy how to get started were "Don't bug me, noob". Then I understood.

Actually, everyone I met there when I started, they respected me and teached me how to do that and so on.

Frank : I suggest you to eat a piece of lemon whenever you take a sip of your Henessy.
It will allow you to finish half a bottle and wake up the next morning singing.

As far as lack of RP is concerned, I see too many people who are not open to letting new people join. As soon as someone enters the are who is unknown, immediately a defensive wave starts. The first thing is a shout of 'this is private property, get out'. Next they start 'you are ruining RP'. And then they pull out a weapon and start the DM cry.

My advise is that whenever a new player comes near, you welcome him and try to involve them in to your play instead of pushing them away. Not only will they learn much faster to enjoy playing, also its an opportunity to make new friends.

Sure, I'd love to.
But if the new players is not open for learning I will push him away.
You can see on a player if he's really here to learn something or he's just here to run around punching things. But sure, I'll do that.

I do whatever I can do involve new players in roleplay.
But only with people I see potential in. For example people with not a name such as "ROBOT_KILLER_2347".

Hmmm.... how about:
9r235I3K ? (Grzesiek)
P3T3Y (R*Petey)

And I can give you a longer line of names.... in fact we banned more people with the name type John_Smith as with the type IAMHaxxor....

[Aksel]

P3T3Y is far away from ROBOT_KILLER_2347

[EminemRulez]

I started with EminemDaBest and EminemRulez aswell, Name has nothing to do with player skills. In my Opnion...

[Jubin]

Hmmm.... how about:
9r235I3K ? (Grzesiek)

He was actually +PzP+9r2e5i0.
Just to make his name even worse : ))

Just because someone has a John_Smith-esque name, it does not mean they necessarily have more potential than ROBOT_KILLER_2347 or even noobnoob88967. Regardless of the name someone uses ingame, they are still people.

[Pandalink]

Is there some difference between "Pandalink" and PANDA_LINK_1337?

[Oliver]

P3T3Y is far away from ROBOT_KILLER_2347

I had AK_MAN47 once.

[Indica]

Gird3r -> If this was Facebook, I'd "like" this post.

[9r2e5i3k]

That's the shorted version becasue MTA supports only 12 characters in nick.

Original version is 9r2e5i3k.

What the hell does a person's name have to do with their roleplay ability? Nothing.

Remember, your name that is displayed and seen by others is OOC.

Ok, if their IC name was something like that then yeah, that would be kinda lame.
