We should, but so far we haven't, and I think we won't either!

http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8878.0

We should start a running total of each type.

Here's a recent 10c I quite enjoyed:
The Classic Case of the Kid Who is Really Into a Couple of Games and Maybe Mods or Maps in One, and Admins or Codes in Another, Who Is Not Here To Offer His Services and Produce Some Usable Assets, But Instead to Complain That Development of a Free, Open-Source Game on an Admittedly Quaint Engine Isn't Proceeding Apace, and Chooses to Help the Community by Yelling a Lot and Calling People Bad Names, Thereby Showing How Much He Truly Cares, and Just How Right He Is.


add'd new category: thx, Snake (don't forget, everyone can play) ;)

@Kozak6: will link to there, when linking here, in future, and start a running tally (feel free to join in) :)

What category do you all think is the most numerous, so far? There have been quite a few 10c-types, of late, but before that there were a rash of class 13 threads, and I still remember the great 6b flood of yesteryear. I think they somewhat tend to indicate the level of newness of the recent arrivals to the forum (or at least those who dare to post such things). :o

Hmm, maybe we need to split that category further:

10ca: Here's what should be added
10cb: Here's what should be removed
10cc: Here's all the wonderful things I'm capable of, so you should listen to me (aka, "The Things We Do For Trem" - like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go...)

Yes, I typed that all up just to make a lame 10cc joke.  I'm coming up on hour 33 without having a smoke, it's early, and I'm half awake.  Just smile and nod.

This is a thread about starting new threads. I say it's time for you to spawn off a new thread, listing the various types of silly replies to original posts. Please make it a proposed sticky. :)

A classic case of a type 4 (for which three new sub-categories have been added, in honor of this one post), which also qualifies as a type 8 (the description of which has been modified to more accurately reflect the variety of offenses), and adds in elements of type 11. N00b-tacular work, to say the least.

Snake, it almost seeems that you are using this thread to avoid the ratings that you otherwise deserve.

EDIT: don't take it personally
i just want to point out what i said by "you might be new if you are old". it just means that people should not forget how is it to be a fresh member of a community. we shouldn't stuck in the flaming fashion, while its obviously very cool to fight with newbies.
