Just make sure you make a post concerning why Iceman isn’t coldsnap immune and you should be all set. Welcome!

Place is a **** show. Enjoy.

Um idk don’t get in a tizzy about who got buffed or what character you pull, and if something weird is happening in game re-read the nodes and abilities.

Those are the typical annoyances I see

Also I dig the username

Seriously, welcome to the talky part of the forums. I would say there's six things all new posters should know:

1. This is the internet. There are all sorts of crazy people on the internet. Try not to take anything here too seriously or personally.

2. Try to read before you post. You want people to read your post. You should in return try to read other people's posts. Especially if the posts are about the very thing you want to talk about. Nothing is more rude than when someone says "I can't be bothered to read this thread, but here's something I'm going to shove in everyone else's face."

3. The forums are not a chat app. People do not read it non-stop, or get alerts when things are posted. Threads are highly asynchronous here. That means you can't expect a reply immediately, and you can't expect people to always extract context when you post something after reading something. In your head, there's a straight line from A to B to C to your post. In other people's heads, that connection won't necessarily exist. Try to be as clear as possible about what you're talking about. Corollary: don't start twelve threads in one day. Makes people think you can't wait to get responses to one idea before you catapult yourself into another idea, which again implies you want to talk more than listen.

4. Giveth thee slack, as ye wisheth slack to be extended to thee.

5. If you see one of my posts, you might want to sit down before starting to read it. Use the bathroom, grab a snack, get comfy. Also, might want to have a calculator within reach.

6. Don't ask who's the best champ. Just: no.

Welcome to the forums! As you can already see from the earlier replies, it can be quite the sadistic place.

You shouldn’t have joined

^ Example

It can be quite an interesting place to discuss the game so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, although discussions can get quite heated.

You choose a difficult time to start posting as we have 3 type of post circling around quite frequently

1. Compensation Post
2. Compensation Post but with less effort
3. Compensation Post but with no effort

Other than that it’s a great place in my unprofessional opinion!

This is very true. DNA was probably the type of student to ask a prof what the word limit to his masters thesis was

Being a masochist helps, especially with all the sadist that hang out here.

Try not to revive a dead thread, people are really scared of deadites and freak out.

@ThatGuyYouSaw235 I think Cliff went for a bus ride. But he'll be right back.

This is very true. DNA was probably the type of student to ask a prof what the word limit to his masters thesis was

The dude who reminded the teacher they didn't set any homework.

I was most definitely not That Guy. If you forgot to assign homework, that means I wasn't doing homework. If you remembered to assign homework, that means I was going to forget to do the homework.

If you want to know what my academic career was like, once a teacher told my class that homework was worth 30% midterm was worth 40% and final exam was worth 40% so I said great, I didn't have to do any homework and as long as I got 100% on the midterm and 100% on the final I could still get a B. It was the only class I actually studied for that semester. Eliminating 50 hours of homework for three hours of studying? Excellent trade off.

Is that usual for multiple things to be able to make up more than 100%? I'm assuming American? Seems a bit odd but I like it, for the reason you worked around it -- also allows people who don't study or test as well as others try make up some ground at least.

It is possible I typoed the 3. It is also possible this was economics 205, which was a very long class.
