[quote="Gimlet":3kyl16ad]It's generally unwise for people who are new (less than 2-3 year play time) to the mud to get mouthy to the old-schoolers who have mudded for over a century.[/quote:3kyl16ad]
A have to agree with the gist of this statement. Perhaps we could all try to be a little nicer. Even me.
Along those lines, I have been playing a bit more recently and at one point was considering leading a semi-large group. Some new* player (I don't remember who, and don't care) said I don't know the first thing about leading. Just beacuse you haven't seen me lead doesn't mean I wasn't leading large groups when you were in diapers. As Turbo once said "good leading is a skill like riding a bike - you don't forget it." This is certainly true - you ever seen Shyla lead? (She can, and is fantastic at it!) People complain when there isn't a group, and turn around and criticise someone when they try and lead. Leading is difficult, that is why there is an additional reward for it. Don't make a challanging task overly difficult by being rude.
I guess the bottom line here is, try and stop criticising people.
