Ok so I'm new.

Hey guys, I'm sort of new to the escapist, I've been watching ZP for a few months now but the only time I comment is when I see a fun thread on the front page.

So, what are the rules?

I'm very used to gametrailers, which is famous for fanboys, beating up fanboys (I was part of this faction), and tomfoolery. So, if I were to make a thread that said "just a small town girl". Is this the type of site that responds "livin in a lonely world" or the type that says "stop trolling, idiot." ???

The reason I like this site so far is because when I'm quoted I get notified which is useful.

haha i want to see where this goes because i have even less of a clue than you no doubt edit:yay rules

 

[GM Reviews]

most people will say stop trolling :L
I personally would tell you to stop singing bad songs

Welcome to the Escapist. We take our rules [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.116827] very serious around here.

Basically, don't do what you would normally do on Gametrailers.

 

[Soulgaunt]

I don't know about the last part, it can only be learned through experimentation, but don't tell anyone that I suggested that!

We would definately say "stop trolling".

Keep this in mind, and welcome to the Escapist.

The forum guidelines are on the Forums page. We expect you to try use good grammar and spelling. Also someone might say livin' in a lonely world but if you have went off topic people may tell you not to do that.

There is an official welcome thread, use it.

Woody Harrelson, that's what

OT: The rules are posted, go find them.
And, if you posted a thread like that, I'd reply, "That song is terrible. Stop troling, idiot. Report and move on."

What about "new" don't you guys understand. Whatever this place sucks.

Hey man, don't bash the Journey.

Welcome, but that nifty little thing called a search bar would have done you well.
You'll hear that a lot around here, too.

That aside, welcome.
We won't beat you too horribly.

We definitely got it, but if every new person here made a thread announcing their arrival, can you imagine how crazy this place would be?

 

[slipknot4]

We would click on the report button until out web browsers cached... What? Am i the only one here using Chrome? Screw you...
Op, welcome then

Ehhh...it's somewhat functional.
I've found most of the stuff I need to prevent myself from looking like an ass.
With one notable exception.

 

[BasicMojo]

First, welcome.

Second, there're a few stickied pages of Escapist etiquette that you could read if you have the time, but from what I've seen, if you were to start quoting Journey, you'd get more responses from your designate Column B than A. Sarcasm runs rampant here: if you post a topic like "What's your favorite game?" that's been done to death on every forum known to man, you'll get more than a few answers that say "the Search Bar".

Well great start, keep it up. Its nice to get the whiney people identified quickly.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay.
Time for an inpromptu street party!
