Wc3 Submission Essay

Boredom strikes, wars arise, and whatnot happens. So I decide to write a boring, possibly comedic essay on n00bs and linking it to submissions here

SUBMISSIONS
Generally, submissions onto this site usually are to let people share their work, get a couple friendly comments, learn how to correct a couple things, and to have people praise them for good work. However, they are much like the clergy of online society, and thus, where there are clergy, there are peasants. These are the so-called "spammers" and noobs, which, think that if they submit something valid onto this site, they will get friendly praise and comments. For example, they will draw up a blood mage skin in paint, and submit it to this site, and ignoring the fact that it utterly sucks through their incomprehensible "I made it" sense, which would uncannily resemble that of a spoiled brat. As they submit it, doubt sets in. This is quickly erased by the common phrase, "It's just my first skin :D ."

The clergy, outraged by this as if it was a peasant dressed as a wolf and eating all their animals raw, declare a sort of heresy, also known as flaming, which is like rallying an angry mob, storming the peasant's ghetto, cardboard box, or even pit, demand a reason, but finally find out that the peasant, actually being somewhat intelligent, fled the vicinity to steal another ghetto, cardboard box, or pit. This is also known as ignoring or forgetting to look over what people thought of your submission.

Sadly, there is enforcement by what are the royal guards (mods), and the king and queen (Darky and oz02). This usually results of a couple of the clergy being sent a royal charter and paying for the COD.

As the peasant reap the benefits of false satisfaction, the clergy hires mercenaries (complaints) to hunt those ignorant bastards down and kill them. A small percentage of these peasants give up hope, jump off a cliff and die (stop submitting crap and/or reform). However, the noobish instincts of these barbaric idiots usually pulls them, usually forcefully by their ignorant will, into making more things, and laughing about it.

Their big mistake is the lack of ability to comprehend why people are better than them. This is usually shrugged off when they remember that THEY made that item. The quote is from my previous signature, and helps you interpret this:
Commenter: DUDE! You already had this submitted! Why in God's name did you resubmit this!
noob: Well, you bitch who got raised by hobos, the mod took my skin for the Insomnia Graphics Paladin or Earth Fiend and deleted it, so I must rebless my fellow gamers with my goly power!

As you can see, these ignorant bastards simply try to clog out what they can with whatever fills his/her mind in an attempt to:
1: laugh like a retard and think it's funny
2: get false recognition
3: try to gain recognition by making it funny because all other ways are blocked by their ignorance, which utterly diminishes skill

As more people join the society, the clergy sets a good example for the newcoming settlers, and ironically, they usually misinterpret what is happening by these submissions and follow like a noob. Some, read the charters allowing them to settle here under conditions, while others, simply say, "HEY! I just joined here! Now, let's go make something as quick as possible and give it to the community! I'm sure we'll get some credit!

Tragically, most of these people are tried of heresey, and beneficially, without the light of a jury, and thus exterminate a couple and select few while the others ponder what happened to their partners in crime, fearing they have reformed.


If you people are wondering why I hate n00bs so much, this is basically what my general disposition towards them is, in allegorical and metaphoircal form

My thoughts raced as I strived to fight off boredom because of this holocaust project where you must restrict entertainment. So this took about 10-20 minutes
#5
"and the king and queen (Darky and oz02). "


Who's the king and who's the queen? :P Good job hating on noobs though. To be honest they really deserve it. The things they do and say makes me want to send the evil clowns after them. :twisted:
#6
Well actually I think Darky is king and oz02 is executioner...

Anyhow great short essay.
#7
evil clowns.... :shock: scary (lol j/k)
#8
Don't you mean Dictator and Grand Punisher? j/k
Anywhoo, thanks for the credit. I can make more things like that simply being 13 and reading persuasive media, and after following and using it in small school debates last year, have learned how to construct this in allegorical form

that was long, but i guess when your idea flows you type with a unmatched ambivigious frenzy.. the text sounded familiar and make me think that some parts were true

You certainly have a creative mind. An entertaining read, to say the least.

ALthough you are correct at most of the key points, you also must consider the age group of many of the people here. No doubt a skin made by a 10 year old will likely yield the same results as an adult with a few years of photoshop experience, and are not aware of the fact that the more time you put into something, the better it will turn out.

I once lived by the phrase "As long as there are 10 minute people, there will always be 10 minute maps." That was the phrase back in my command & conquer days and it still applies here. People are so bent at just getting resourses in so they can make a name for themselves that they don't realize that quality is more important then quantity or feel that not having enouph time to create a time-intensive good piece of work is justifucation for mass producing small, easy works....does that make them noobs? Well, that depends on how you look at it I suppose, but I don't really think so. Take into account that the most highly regarded skinners on this site have very little stuff submitted... cuz they spend a lot of time one a single piece while others will spend a little time on many pieces. People just sometimes don't pay attention to what they do....and think 5 minutes of effort is worth rewards. Some people may have the potential, but not the patience to create high quality work, that's when you'll start seeing "bloody" units and sloppy recolors.

Well, the hatred is just because they act like retards and have had to deal with a really perverted one for 3 years where the teachers did nothing. Plus I had to deal with a spoiled brat for 5 straight days

And people wonder why there is so much war and hate in the world..
One thing you forget here, is that humans are animals. I don't know if you've trained or raised any animals, but they all work in the same way: they are less aggressive and easier to deal with, if you instead of punishing their bad behaviour, encourage their good behaviour.

in other words, do not expect someone to be happy when you flame them for trying something, instead, help and you will get rewarded.
And the reward will be less noobs since you've teached them, and maybe some of them will go really far.
helping someone else get better than yourself, is the way of a true teacher.

Thats like letting a dog bite someone and not hitting them for it,

when bad behavior goes unpunished the person who comitted the action is then free to beleive it is alright to do those actions,
on the other hand when something is done like a slap on the dogs nose for biteing or slapping it for crapping on the carpet.
When the dog thinks about doing this action again he also remembers the pain it brought about so he does not.
#14
if you hit a dog that bites you, then you are way wrong. never hit an animal, never!
I also thought that punishing was a good way of learning, but realised thanks to my cat, that animals just become more aggressive if you punish them. if you must punish them, do as their own kind would punish them. but that can be avoided.

and if you do that to a dog, you scare him. a scared dog is a dangerous dog that you can't trust. the same for people.
Fear has started much violence in this world. not religion, not nationality, not testosterone. just fear.

Hhmm, interesting points, both with truth to them. While these things may work with lesser creatures such as dogs and cats, humans are much more complex. While bad behavior should be punished, and good behavior should be rewarded, there's a fine line in between the two that many people miss. For example, if someone submits their first skin and it's not that good, then they will pretty much get flamed as soon as someone sees it. While some may be encouraging to the new skinner, overall, most people are just plain mean. This scares away many potential skinners, which is a shame. Though in some cases, the newbs stay, trying to return the hatred dealt to them by being noobs. Noobs should all die, while newbs should be welcomed and encouraged. If people could be a little nicer, things could be much better, though such a thing is not possible, or so I believe. There's just too much hatred for such a thing to occur. A sad fact perhaps, but that's the way things are.
