The newbies

This word has a lot of meaning for the less interesting people.

In the mugen world there are many people who suck a lot and n00bs are a big part of them. Newbies are people who begin in mugen, ok everyone start without knowledge in mugen but these days the newbies are very lazy or maybe too young... They always ask the same questions which are for 80 percent of them explained in the faqs in many places. Also they want all, in few time without moving their big lazy ass for what they are searching. They don't know what is google and ignore that google can reply to most of their questions. Some begin mugen and don't stay a n00b many times because they understand fast and don't need to forever be babysat, they search by themselves.

Also for some of them their stupid ideas, thinking they know everything. For example when we tell them that stoling a character is bad they claim that the creator is a thief cause he uses sprites from Capcom/SNK or others games but they never understand MUGEN is free so it's consider as fanart. Also they think a character is made only with sprites... But the coding is made and owned by the creator, they never understand this. For many characters, the sff represents around 30-35 percent of the whole work needed to convert a character.

I'm wondering why, we creators try to make faqs, try to make tutorials in many languages as understandable as possible for people who don't even try to listen to us. After wasting our time for a few respect, all we receive are insults.... we don't even get a little of gratitude for our work. Some are just stupid, others stole our work with making a character without knowning how to make a state or sharing our creations in warehouses. I wish the next mugen version will use some compilator to protect the coding at least for characters. Newbies must understand how long we spend to make one character and try to learn and search more by themselves with all we made before it's easier than at the begining when no tutorial existed.

In the end I want to say that newbies are the future of mugen in good or bad, some will become thieves or warehousers, others will be creators, some will stay players and the last will stay n00bs... Think about that.
Oh, and I forget : when there's a read me, read it...
