Grumpy
« on: June 22, 2013, 10:31:36 pm »
Ok, considering my current state of mind, I probably shouldn't even be here with the idiotic questions we've been getting lately.
However, I occasionally get lucky, and come across one question that really makes me happy to help with.

I have to share this or I'll scream -
Supporting DarkRP and TTT, and some other game modes, are really starting to get on my nerves.
Seems 80% of our questions as of late are 'can <w> do <x> instead of <y> because I run gamemode <z> and <w> isn't working right' or 'I run gamemode <z>. I'm getting errors with <w>, yet <w> works fine for us in sandbox>

Combine this with my pet peeve "i want to be spoon fed all answers rather than taking 5 minutes to search the (web/forums/gmod wiki)" typical questions, and it makes for a really grumpy JamminR.
Darn lazy people, get off my lawn, and stay in sandbox only.

Very true. At least there doesn't seem to be much conflict between ULX and TTT. And on DarkRP, FPtje is genuinely interested in working with us for conflicts. That doesn't help us with all the "dumb users", though. :P

It's the demographic. What I've noticed is that the type of people who want to run DarkRP servers fall into the "mildly retarded" "9-13 year old" demographic.

Well, I guess we are getting dumber over time, so this fits. :P

Makes sense.
I can't imagine that many 16+ somethings wanting to play any type of roleplay that mimics real life.
Fantasy worlds, ok...i get that, not my cup of tea, but I get it.
Real life with jobs...that's not fantasy, wait...heck, I just thought of a new RP game mode.

KidRP
Become a kid again... Things you can do;
- Rock out on the play ground, swing the highest, cross monkey bars the fastest, fly kites, push tonka trucks, ride green machines and big wheels (if your just starting), or grow slightly older and work your way up to bikes with and without training wheels.
- be a bully, or avoid bullies
- be a teachers pet, or class clown
- avoid getting grounded by parents (for any infraction a kid might normally, bad grades, not doing chores)

Ah, to be a kid again, where the worst that might happen is you get grounded for a week, instead of real life jobs and bills.
