It probably has something to do with the recent influx of Finns...

I've gotten several server busy messages the past few days. It probably is a combination of the latest civ3 patch release and the Finnish invasion...

	Suffering from ads?

The warning message should be changed to "..... or the maximum number of Finns has been exceeded..."

maybe the newbies actually click thru some adds and buy things, unlike the old timers.

Exactly. They can't be bad for business...

Besides, I'd hardly say that being here a year means that you're no longer a newbie...

Well, the flood has (apparently) ceased. You may all deliver a sigh of relief. But the Evil Finland - thread is still getting views all the time.

I think it is relative. i do not think it's about the title, more like the time you have spent here. There's no written rule of who's a newbie and who is not.
But a Prince or someone who has been around over six months, I'd have hard time calling a newbie.

Oh please, heavens no! Check the scoreboards; Finnish skiiers suck big time now that all the big wigs (Isometsä, Myllylä, Jauho, Kuitunen) got caught of Doping.
But, we are still kickassish in the Nordic Combine, Freestyle, Halfpipe, Ski jump...

You want all these newbies to spam away 500 posts to reach prince level, and not be picked on?

A newbie is anyone who doesn't have a 1970/69 reg date.

Another thing about "Damn n00bies", they never post with proper grammar and spelling. And Capitilization of their "I"'s. Jeez, is it too much to ask to capitilize your "I"'s?



EDIT: Excepting the Lovely Devilmunchkin, of course.

One of the reasons I have hung around as long as I have is that people in the OT (only place I really come) seems to understand that decent spelling makes for a much more enjoyable read, plus it has the added benefit that makes your argument slightly more well thought through.

BTW If OT posts counted, I'd be well on my way to Princehood (couple more weeks I think). Now I just think that postcounts are a compensatory mechanism .
