Playing & Trading Strategy

This. And get off my lawn, you darn whippersnappers!!!

Posted by: eyescovered on Apr 13, 09:33 in response to RazorHawk's post cranky = generation warfare...

Been playing since 2008, not sure what generation I fall into. But Razor has a good point. Don't take things so personally. It's just a game and this is the internet (please follow Wil Weaton's Law). DMac is one guy and he can't moderate 24/7. It's up to us to try and be a mature community. If you can help a newer player, do so. If you know can correct or add to it, do so.

Just remember 2 things: 1) It's fake money. 2) Everyone was new here once.

It has been mentioned and I do think there needs to be some official posting guidelines. How-to link and tag. Finding original source. Common abbreviations (MEW, MTC, DL, etc.).

why are players so cranky/offensive lately? :) {nm} islander Apr 13, 06:24

Why do you have to post dumb crap like this? Ya stupid a##... {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 13, 06:54

Ahh...not like the old days...Scapey the goat, mmike, the Prophets (some of THEM were cranky)... much different now. {nm} Flash Apr 13, 07:57

They need a nap. eyescovered Apr 13, 08:14

God, I so need a nap. This baby-maintenance thing is hard work. {nm} Paul2k Apr 13, 18:06

Not sure. I'd hate to sift through all the different sites for news, though. Maybe I'll mute my keyboard. {nm} arf Apr 13, 08:37

Ditto. Plus tone is hard to convey in words. Too easy to accidentily sound snarky online. {nm} dave3626 Apr 13, 10:01

It's also too easy to take snark too personally. {nm} RogerMore Apr 13, 11:18

True. Been guilty myself on both counts. {nm} dave3626 Apr 13, 17:23

That's an awesome post! Quite a fun read! :) {nm} slappydavid Apr 13, 10:55

Agreed. {nm} PRodQuanta Apr 13, 12:53

Wow - so do the HSX boards reflect life or does life reflect the HSX boards ;-) {nm} srrichardson Apr 16, 01:04

I will bookmark this post! I read it and said "exactly" and "bingo" alternatively a dozen times. NAIL ON THE HEAD. PVL Admin Apr 17, 22:38
