Non-newbies

Postby chubo » Tue Mar 13, 2007 9:48 pm

Hey,
If the purpose of having a Newbie League is to encourage new people to participate, then it seems pretty counter-productive for a bunch of veterans to use it as an opportunity to boost their self-esteem.
It's like karate class where a bunch of black belts walkarounbd showing off in a white belts class.
I can see how newbies would be discouraged by this instead of encouraged.
So, come on guys. How about chilling out?

Yeah Chubo, you're right, but even if a veteran show out his scores, he cannot win anyway, this league was purposely created!!
Moreover a veteran score can encourage a newbie to do better and improve himself, don't you think?
I tried that on my skin, i'm a newbie, and scores like nickynick's an luka122's ones pushed me in doing better!
This is not a little lambs crew, a little competitiveness is good!

I think your answer is good, it is different for different people. However, I still think people should bear chubo's point in mind when posting (boasting?) their scores.

well, sorry. I just was trying to make this contest a bit more challenging. If you guys don't want any "veteran" scores - I'll move my ass out of the "N" League forum :D

I see your point

Postby chubo » Wed Mar 14, 2007 6:04 pm

I see your point about veterans. Competition is good and if you beat their score, you have even more to feel good about.

BTW 1820
