The worst month of N00bs

I'm just wondering what some other nations' opinions are:

We all now it happens once a month, it makes people very angry, and it makes the mods work overtime...and no, I'm not talking about anything that has to do with purbirty and that sort of thing, I'm talking about the dreaded N00B. They show up all the time but I notive it is worst around the beggining of the month when all the new people need to learn to roleplay. By the end of the month and the beggining of the next the basically caught on.

So which month do you think was worst?

I'm casting my vote for October, I remember just joining and findin it odd how much new nations got yelled at for being noobs, I think I was involved in 10 noob wars by november.

October is a long ways away (in my mind anyways, can't remember what I had for breakfast), so I'll say last month, just to disagree. Don't remember much from there either, but that's my problem :o

My guess would be May or June, because all the kids are getting out of school and looking for ways to kill time. But I don't know if this is supported by the evidence; it seems like we get a pretty constant stream of n00bs.

I thought the worst time for n00bs was during the American election season (no offense to non-Americans, but for some reason American elections always ignite an inferno of unintelligent debate). When else do you hear, "OMG KERRY IS A ST00PID COMM1E!!!!111!!1q" or "bush r suxorz"?

Each month has been worse than the last since the beginning of the summer.

edit: I mean, the summer of 2k3.

I...Have no opinion, as I am a "n00b" myself..but at least I keep rather quiet, or rather to myself before I am more sure of what I am even speaking about in the first place...

I just try to be unoffensive as possible..:|

T's good to be an unoffensive, cause usually when you show up and speak calmly people tend to like you more and it is usually easier to take over their brains...With the help of a hypnotic toad--...

SHOOT...I exposed us all. *runs away weeping*

Two countries declared war on me, both n00bs.

Sephiroth and Beetle42590.

I handled the situation with Sephiroth, thank God. But Beetle says I'm weak... note I have more pop then him and around 50 allies helping me. Plus AMF is on my side. I gave him 48 hours to surrender eh, if he don't time to add some land to the Commonwealth eh?

Wow, Raem is almost as good as one of those company slimeballs trying to come up with an answer as to why their factories are doing more harm than good to the enviroment. O_o;

Easy, use the "quote" function and replace the data that is :

location of image, you can use your flag location for example (link you want to be click-able) Or some such. Stick it into a txt file, and be prepared to copy and paste with every ... single ... post ...

And behold, magic thing as below. :wink:

There is no factory. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

... Ummmm oh if I only had Microsoft Word :roll: I'll stick with my standard signatures, and to all n00bs who want me dead, here are my allies:

The International: 40 members supporting me
Victoria: 5 members supporting me
The New Roman Empire: 24 members supporting me

Equals...

69 allies! Have a nice day!

...maybe this'll get them off my back.

I am new on here but I've had many years experience at role-playing. Of course, I have a hard time taking some of it seriously.

What I couldn't understand is that Sephrioth declared war on the Island of Rose because the former nation claimed the latter was using women as sex slaves. What is Sephrioth's solution? Nuke 'em!

The last time I read about nuclear weapons they still did about what they did 50 years ago: kill everything and everybody.

I do not understand why someone would get involved in a role-playing forum like this and automatically want to nuke everyone in the first place. There are plenty of video games that someone can play by themselves and leave everyone else alone to do their nation building.

Personally, I don't even want to think about getting into a conventional war until I have at least 2 billion people and enough allies to back me up.

I agree, I have noticed several nations declaring war over "genocide" and actually genocide even.
