I will take the names out for the sake of the newbie =-).

"Where do I go level at?" newbie
"Um... The newbie school." Keljorian
"Where's that at?" newbie
"North. Didn't you read the room your in? Welcome to the Newbie School." Keljorian

"What's a mud and how do you play?" newbie
"Hit Alt-F4" Keljorian
*newbie hits alt-f4 then signs back on*
"This is fun!" newbie

"I've played on these things before... what do you call them rots?" newbie

[Wenlin]

there has been a weird epidemic of this...at least 3 newbies have done it.

newbie gossips: n

smart people gossips: just n will work, since go is gossip.

newbie gossips: w

Me, being a mage, gates to newbie and tries to explain.

me: Just...n will work, nothing else is needed, you can go west twice (without the go) to get to the newbie school, that'll help.

newbie gossips: w

Me: just west, do it twice.

newbie leaves west, goes east, goes west twice (yay) but he still has to go north to the school, 2w was the entrance.

Me: good, now north to get inside and read the room descriptions.

newbie proceeds to experiment with east and west without saying a word. There was someone else present that was trying to help, we almost decided it was an imm trick; a wandering mob just made to look like a newbie.

We couldn't push him though (pk action) I think we eventually got him in the school...but it was mighty hard

Newbie: "Wut's a noobie?!"
Us: "Someone new to the game with little understanding of it."
Newbie: "O! So ur a noobie?!"
Us: "No, you are."
Newbie: "NUH UH! GO TO HELL! LURN TO THINK B4 U TALK!"

My only thought? "Take your own advice."


Newbie: "WUt U meANs I gOts 2 spAK ENILSH 2 Play hERe, IME SPEEKin Enlish!"
Us: "No, you're speaking gibberish."
Newbie: "Wut iS GibBERISH?!"
Us: "Nevermind."
Newbie: "I DUN mINd!"

My only thought? "You left out 'have a' in that last sentence."

Melly! Someone just asked that 5 minutes ago! That's cheating, you gotta put it in a quotefile first, then onto TMS!

And anyway, that's a valid question, I had that problem until I dreamt that I was in a world full of strange letters, all of them I, D, S, O, M, U, A, T and N

To this date, I have no idea what it means

[Shao_Long]

[Dionae]

You say, 'Just go two west, then follow the rooms north to learn about the basic commands'
Newbie says, 'ok'
Newbie leaves east.

Newbie gossips 'to bed'

Newbie asks, 'Why are you teaching me?'
You say, 'Cause I'm nice'
You snicker softly.
Newbie says, 'I see'

Newbie gossips 'i have been fighting the practice dummy for 2 days'

Newbie question 'Could Gretan get another newbie pack?? I melted alot of his stuff in the arena with this hammer I didnt know it did that'

Newbie question 'what does torpor do?'
Someone answers 'puts someone to sleep'
Someone quotes 'Newbie slumps over in a torpor.'
Newbie answers 'I used it on myself'

On an rp enforced mud where pkilling is possible, but the society is seriously against murder or killing in any form:

The silly, braindead newbie says in Towskish:
'Where's all the stuff to kill???'

[Kyrie]

[TheDemonMaster]

Heres another good couple of lines:

[Newbie] Why can't i get any exp from this mob?

[Immortal] Cause the mob does not like you?

[Newbie] Why doesn't it like me?

[Immortal] Take a look at yourself.

Newbie looks at himself and shakes his head.

[Immortal] Go put some clothes on!

[Enzo]

A newbie says, "How do I RP?"

That alone stand for itself.

LMAO!

Here is my only newbie quote from an RP enforced mud:

newbie says in sirihish "I'm starting to understand this IC/OOC thing"

[Dionae]

I just found this really cute...

Someone asks, 'how do I become uninvisible?'
