Being chucked in the deep end? :D

That's how you started Arun, still I even remember you're first games in the Noobschool. Everyone has to start somewhere. And if older players pass on good games(wo)manship then the skill level across the site can only improve.

Not everyone starts in the deep end, quite few people play like 500 + in real time 1v1 and are quite good just from that, without being taught by anyone. However it is faster if you are taught obviously :D

@Hauptmann: I'm not really that charismatic, and while how I acted in the hunt is quite a bit off-putting, even for me... well, I tend to not act very charismatic.

As for if I'm bad... well, I don't think I'm particularly horrible at the game, but I'm definitely not an amazing player, either. Keeping at around 1600 for 5+ months tells me that I'm solid and pretty consistent.
For the games... I don't remember your game. (Though I think I was under Naivete at the time, meaning I just wanted to level quickly and played badly) Against Miyagi, I didn't get the FTB and then played stupidly after because it was EA&O which I am very predictable in.

@Apollo: Two completely different approaches here, huh? While I do respect your more direct approach, it honestly looks like you just fed the troll (Aranka). As for the 200 games requirement, you let Unreality in (Unless you're telling me he's an alt).

Some 70 games isn't realy a lot(ignoring where you played them in 4 days)so your skill should still rise as you play.
Anyway, don't hesitate to ask an opponent who beat you what he thinks you did (wrong) to lose,
read the wiki, figure out the different kinds of games.
You can join a clan, but they 're about more then just learning, i 'd play a few more games before deciding whether to join one/which one.

@Linlin, that is very true. But I was teaching Unreality before the 101st and he was giving me some good games, and I do not hesitate to allow him in if he does that, especially if he's kind and a active player also.

Is there a point in having requirements if you need to break them?

Yes, because it gives players a good idea of what we are looking for.

Last posting in this thread. :-) Is it worth it to be a member?

I would say so if your going to stay a while, cause you get ladders, ad block, other things i don't done if non-members can unlock. But it's worth it, it's a way of saying thanks to Fizzer as well.

That depends

Are you anoyed by ads and still want to get full points?
Do you want to compete in ladder?
Do you want to get access to features gained by points instantly?

If both answers to this questions is no than probably it is not worth in strictly economical manner.

In other cases it is worth it and if i compare it to any other game i played than this game entertained me for so long, that it is practically zero cent per hour :)

And of course it is also a way how to say thanks to Fizzer.

I wonder how many games you have been invited in since you created this thread, Emma.

I joined warlight to get women

Can't we just go back to talking about coo-coo clocks?

@Anonymous, well she went from 54 to 80-ish games in just 2-3 days, so you can get a good idea ^^

@Linlin,and I quote: "Turn whatever it is elimination...Yes I am allowed to say "whatever it is" :D

Don't take our silence as disapproval, it's just the competition is stifling the air in that chat room...and as for the game yes, that was your name at the time, so I suppose I'll have to wait for the next opportunity to arise, but no claiming you were just playing to level up next time! :P

And just in general, I remember browsing through a thread and someone posting how they read a review about Warlight where it referred to this site as a Facebook for sociopaths...and then it hit me while looking through this thread made by a new player asking for training and tips...

@Emma, I'm not a member so I cannot give you any specific experiences, however, I have several reasons why you might consider buying a membership;

1. This is an enjoyable community of "sociopaths"
2. Ladders
3. It supports Fizzer and makes future updates possible
4. A desperate need to balance the gender ratio

I think it is worth it to be a member personally. I bought Diablo 3 for twice the price of a membership on here, and I got bored of Diablo 3 pretty fast.

The ladders will help you improve a lot. Making tournaments is fun. Many CLOT's require memberships. The best thing IMO, is making games with better settings (%75 luck just plan sucks). If you get into it, making custom scenario's can be a lot of fun too. Try playing a {rp} game and you will see what I mean.

Really it depends on how much you plan to play the game, and if you have intentions of being a good player or not.

Hey hands off WLM! That's Brentmeister General's tagline.

Yes you're all right, it is worth it. *shows off her [M]*

Thanks guys, cu ingame :-*

"Turn whatever it is elimination...Yes I am allowed to say "whatever it is" :D

I can be lazy when moderating a hunt, can't I?

Don't take our silence as disapproval, it's just the competition is stifling the air in that chat room...

Well you could say I'm trying to defuse a tense situation with apparent ignorance. I mean, the competitors are being super-serious so the moderator is being completely laid-back.

and as for the game yes, that was your name at the time, so I suppose I'll have to wait for the next opportunity to arise, but no claiming you were just playing to level up next time! :P

Depends on my name - Linlin and Rinrin have served me pretty well (Unfortunately I'll be switching from Linlin at level 42) and unless I hit another really bad name I doubt I'll overload myself with 1v1 multi-day autogames trying to level.

this was probably the fastest conversion into membership in wl
