Steam Sales
Richard LeMoon:
Because it does not matter if you win or lose on a well run ship. It just has to be fun. Think of how many times you 'lost' in every other game, only to pick yourself up and try again.

I'm still in that sort of in-between stage. I'm very much still learning, but I'd like to think I'm a decent crewmember/pilot. I definitely want to be one of the legendary veterans that everyone talks about. Steam Sales bring in dirt, and a lot of it, but you never know whether something valuable might surface as you dig through. Richard's "Gem" metaphor ties in. I'm personally for sales; assholes are everywhere, and a little extra to filter out is an annoyance, but we endure massive explosions and huge bullets daily- I think a few, unknowldgeable jerks are easy enough.

Steam sales are good and bad. I came in during a sale and probably wouldn't have bought it at $15. The sale I joined during was HUGE -- there were often thousands of players on. So with that came a lot of trolls and assholes, of course, but they don't really stick around. I was one of the ones who stuck with novice matches until I was 3 in every class and was terrified of hitting 4 and being in regular matches because I didn't want to screw up. I didn't have a mic at the time but I listened and learned, and cooperated, which is necessary to really get enjoyment out of the game. The people who stick around are (mostly) the people who enjoy teamwork. Like, the sales suck during the time they're going on, but in with the bad are the good few who stay with the community.

Its like panning for gold!
You get a ribbed pan, a hand full of dirt, shake the pan to raise the light weight junk up to the top, rinse the junk away and keep going until you have the heavy weight gold nuggets left in the pan. :)
P.s. Gold panning, a very Zen like hobby, if ever anyone is in Scotland, head to a stream with a pan, you should get a few bits of natural gold..

I remember when I was spectating, following new playing friend, who was on your mobula.
Well... don't get me wrong, but you DO have many things to learn. ^^
