UN: PinkPilgrim - "Do ANY of you know what you're doing?"

[conjecturecycle]

Now don't take this the wrong way or nothing, I'm just trying to be frank here. Because it seems like a whole lot of you haven't played a game like this before. Is this a vocal minority situation or did they just pull names out of hats for this beta?

Because to be honest they aren't paying me enough as "User Moderator" or whatever they put on my paychecks to lead around an entire gaggle of ducklings just so they can idiot proof their game or whatever the logic is here. Again, no offense. I'm sure you're all brilliant at whatever it is you do with the rest of your time.

Anyway I guess I should aughta say that if you have any problems and you don't wanna go straight to the admin, there's me. But I don't know anything more about the game than you, I just maybe know how to play it better and also I can timeout people if they're acting up.

Are we supposed to be offended? You kind of just called us normal.

[conjecturecycle]

Nah, I was calling you incompetent.

No one who's "Normal" would agree to participate in a VR-RPG beta test anyways

[bleatingedge]

i dunno about anyone else here but i get paid to write game guides for a living
they shot me a beta key so i could get a head start
so if you're overwhelmed with answering questions just shoot me a pm and i can try to fill in some gaps

[conjecturecycle]

I'm just glad that there's at least one other person here who makes sense to be here.

To be honest if I get tired of answering questions I'll just not. I'll just ignore them.
[Why is this guy a moderator.]

un: L3V147H4N

[trashtier]

Yeah, there are a lot of MMO newbs here. I've chalked it up to the lottery system.

[conjecturecycle]

Normally you do a lottery system among people who chose the enter it. Like, people who already know about this sorta thing.

un: bigkitty

[fluorite]

You're right! I've never played a game like this before!

[conjecturecycle]

Why the heck would you sign up for a beta when you don't even know if you like games like this or how to play them?

un: Akatsuki

[horologia]

It is a little surprising, isn't it?

Perhaps they think too focused of a testing group wouldn't end up exploring all of whatever it is they're trying to promote and test?

[ 'gamers will just beeline in on progression instead of checking to see if the grass actually smells like grass instead of roses or something.' ]

[conjecturecycle]

Yeah, like I said, idiot proofing. They've got something pretty groundbreaking here so they wanna cater to the mass market rather than just people already familiar with these games.

That's my theory, anyways.

Hello!
I am new to MMOs, yes! I am unsure why, I only indulge with video games on rare occasions once the urge strikes.
Thank you for taking the time to be a dedicated Moderator!
I have no queries yet but if I have any, I will be sure to ask :)

[conjecturecycle]

This is so sincere I almost feel bad.
Almost.

Only enough to tell you that if you keep acting like this people are gonna eat you alive if this is anything like every other mmo on the planet.

un: Punisher

[regressive]

No, they have no idea.
No tutorial can help when beta players are like this.
Good luck babysitting people.

[conjecturecycle]

I mean like, damn, no need to be so bleak about it.

un: UTA

[tot]

You know, when people say "no offense" they typically are saying some offensive.
That said, I hope we don't make your life too difficult Mr. PinkPilgrim.

[conjecturecycle]

Yeah thats why you say no offense. Because you aren't saying it just to piss people off.
Unfortunately it's not the polite ones like you that are gonna make my life difficult.

Hello, Pink.

I've played games like this before. But I usually play with someone I know, not by myself.

It's kind of interesting to figure new things out. So long as it isn't too boring.

[conjecturecycle]

That's Mr. Pink to you, paly. Like in Reservoir Dogs.

un: Rakshasa

[scourgingstars]

Oh, I think it's quite clever to have a wide range of experiences on one's beta test. After all, the proper game will have all manner of incompetent clowns as well as seasoned game veterans. It's always wise to plan for every eventuality.

[conjecturecycle]

I mean sure, but as far as I'm aware, we're the first set of testers and I'd think you'd wanna bring in the veterans before the idiots since the formers gonna handle gamebreaking bugs better, y'know?

UN: Swallow

[threatmewted]

I don't know much about this game specifically, but I've played plenty of games before.

I'm not going to be on all the time, but I might be able to help out a bit.

[conjecturecycle]

Help out in what way exactly?

un: wiccerosa

[rosehecate]

Hello!
I do not know what I am doing but I am having a good time! :) Thank you for asking!

[Good fucking gravy]

[conjecturecycle]

I. Well. I guess that's fine then?

Some of you are so weirdly positive that alone tells me you don't play these games often.

un: aoi

[ntrd]

how does aoi remove the nudity sensor? or is it because aoi is playing in japan. she is over 18.

thank you. hope you get paid more.

[conjecturecycle]

[I continue to love this girl. What a legend.]

There's a toggle in the settings menu, though I gotta say I'm a little worried that this is a concern of yours so soon after the server's gone live.

un: anaido

[wowcool]

i've watched videos on livestreams of mmos does that count

what does a user moderator do anyways exactly? sounds very important!!!

[conjecturecycle]

I mean that's still probably better than some people here.

And it's what it says on the tin, paly. I moderate the users. Make sure none of you are getting into shit you shouldn't be getting into. Or anything else against the TOS. Super important, like you said.

un: f0x

[veardant]

They shouldn't be paying you at all, if that's how you talk about new players. I feel sorry for anyone that comes to you for guidance.

[conjecturecycle]

I said no offense, jeez.
This way they know I ain't gonna sugarcoat nothing. Some people prefer that, y'know.

un: phantom

[catarou]

Oh, no, I'm tragically inexperienced. I've not the foggiest what to do here. I was certain it would be as simple as riding a bicycle, except I've realized I have never learned to ride a bicycle.

[ all of this is a lie ]

[conjecturecycle]

Ok I know sarcasm is hard to detect over text but I'm like 90% sure this is sarcastic.
