A little idea.

over 9 years

So basically, one huge issue this site has is simplicity for newer players. Upon joining an unranked game, which new players are forced to do, you face a couple different situations, all basically bad. You either join a game with a -ton of random roles that is a clusterfuck and scares the player away. Or you might join a game with a bunch of veterans who do stuff without an explanation which just confuses the new player, and likely drives them away. Or you join an unranked game with a bunch of other noobs who have no clue what they're doing and screw it up. In all situations, new players seem to have a tough road ahead of them. It's only the players who are smart and patient enough to learn about the site that will actually end up staying.

So, my proposal is this: Have a beginner lobby, where players are automatically sent to upon joining the site. There they can join one of the couple allowed setups (simple ones) and join a game. Simultaneously, the game will also have a couple of slots for veterans. Essentially, veterans with over 100 games played, may join the beginner lobby and join games. They can join the game, help the new players understand it, and so on. What do the veterans gain from it? Every 25 beginner games a veteran helps out in, they get 1 token (something along those lines)

This whole system encourages veterans to help out, helps new players understand the site, and I think it'd work. I want harsh critique. kThxBye

That is a very reasonable response.

because people on this site like to do disturbing things with personal information.

vash is probably the only person i trust to accurately define trolling at its base origin and not just call it "being an angry neckbeard"


He's actually a very happy Harry Potter look-a-like.


i would say this is a bad thing but i guess looking like daniel radcliffe is probably not an actual bad thing whereas i look like a mistake

Very happy people tend not to post YouTube videos wherein they shirtlessly complain for 12 minutes on end about Epicmafia moderators.

frankly i don't really know who nbt is either. he just shows up and pretends to be good while circlejerking with crypto n co.


He was a prevalent player during the period that most people would consider EM's competitive zenith. The accusation that he "pretends to be good" might apply to him the least of any major past or present competitive player, not that it's an accusation worth taking seriously since in the previous sentence you admitted that you didn't know who he is. In any case he was probably significantly better than you ever were, even when you weren't batting a 40% winning rate on your main account with which you lobby-camped and game-threw at all hours of the day.

i would put bigpock and nbt on pretty much the same peg of relevance. also it was friendly banter u guys read too much into it

Orly says

i hardly account for nbt's forum presence as being a player on the site tbh, so i could b wrong on when he joined


there are many easy to identify things on nbt's profile that would shift your view
