when newbie status is lifted? (Now with fun wildlife facts!)

[Styrak]

Newbie status is lifted after you go through The Initiation.

[DoctorBadVibez]

This is how it was broken down to me as I was re-integrating back into the Airsoft community after a long hiatus:
1. get av'd
2. get a gun
3. get gear
4. show up for a game (don't forget gun and gear)
5. Get your first kill at +50 ft
6. If you don't giggle and get shot while bragging about your kill while moving on to next target, you have graduated from newbie.

Things to not do:
1. Refer to sniper rifles as "snipers"
2. Think that you're the best
3. Shit in your pants when someone fires off a SAW in your direction.
4. Post multiple stupid questions on ASC asking the same thing, just in a different way.
5. Bitch about how hard those little pellets hit your ass

Contrary to what you think, ASC members are not sharks, wolves, vultures or velociraptors, they're wonderful, helpful people that love fellow airsoft fanatics. However, if you tick em off with stupidity, they can turn into hybrid creatures which are part sharks with lasers, part wolf with adamantium claws, part vulture and part velociraptor with the efficiency of a well oiled Stihl chainsaw and I ain't talkin' one handers.

First rule of Initiation is that you do not talk about initiation.
He'll figure it out when the firing line forms.

Once your posts start to wander outside the protective barrier, the vultures are free to pick at your flesh. And rightfully so.

Simply put, if you need your hand held, stay in the newbie section.

/hides in barrier *^_^*

The only reason i asked that is because every forum is different. Im always on paintball forums and have thousands of posts on them, but it can all change when you go to a different forum or community.

Yea this forum is way less noob-friendly than any gaming forum out there. At the bare minimum, I'd suggest you get AV'd before you post anything outside of Newbie Tank. Learned my lesson the hard way *emotionally scarred 4 lyfe* :,(

Have you considered sharks with lasers?

You have to count the 'cool' factor :P

If you make it 3 months and I haven't banned you, then your pretty safe.

You're newbie status is lifted when you stop posting needy threads and just sign up to games.

Post less...play more.

Dont think you're safe just yet. We know where you live, and when you least expect it, All 50 of us will pile out of a mini cooper and form a firing line.

You could be sleeping, cooking or even taking a shit when you hear "Shooters... READY. AIM! FIRE!!!"

Hide behind your Cosmo Magazine, cowering in your stall, because we will find you and when we do, you will pray that we dont have grenades... of course we do, but you will still pray, fully knowing that you are doomed either way.

Enjoy that peaceful shit... it could be your last!
