There are slowly more and more players that are kind to noobs on their first run in ICO. Wraith and Dirty Sanchez are two. Hopefully they can get the MP crowd going better.

Two good apples out of...

a few dozen bad seeds?

I wish I could get that lucky...

It would be really helpful to have a list of the pro-players who actually help noobs.

Sire recently scuttled every trade port and extractor on his HW 15min into the game. WTH would he do that?

There were a couple new guys around yesterday.  I played in a game where two guys had actual records (80-100 games) but had only played against AI and were thus raw.  There were also two or three guys who were coming onto ICO for the first time.  Hopefully they'll all stick with it.

I was playing as Nizzleschizzler.

I can see some ICO n00b telling Quar that Vasari sucks and if he was smart, he should switch to TEC.  That would probably be the shortest ICO career of anyone here.

Edit: That is, of course, if Quar doesn't see the humor in toying with the poor bastard for a few games.

Oh u hurted my feelings so deeply....

Everyone knows im the most friendly guy on ico

For real.

Seleuceia despite what you think of me, i like all new stemaboys coming to ico. I wont hurt them.

Im offensive only to idiots tell me what to do and interefre in things  they have no idea about that affects me.

That is you

Let's hope.  Maybe they'll keep you all entertained for quite a few months.  Happy hunting.
