For anyone paying attention, this is an excellent illustration of how NOT to make a first impression at MATY:
Good evening,
You don't need a greeting line. We are not your pen pals.
I have a tiny bitsy problem, -not- related to AM, but I figured one of you guys could be able to help me find a solution.
I recently added the showtime "expansion pack" and made a new save in the all brighty new town. Chose the singer career and started doing performance on stage. The thing is on one venue I get the blocked path bubble when trying to set the stage. I tryed to modify the building throught buy/build mode but I got the "cant intersect object". Figured it wouldnt work but still tryed to save - erase - replace the lot : same result. Now I'm just avoiding the private venue. But it still pisses me off not to solve that.
Before I got the problem, I saw on the web some one who got the same thing on another venue, but weirdly I cant find it back. I of course did a search on the blocked path subject, but all I got was unrelated. You could say my research skills suck but I did manage to subscribe here.
If the post ended here, it would be almost okay, but I question the need for an entire post devoted to this issue. There is already a Showtime discussion thread, and any person new to a forum should think once, twice, three times a snowflake before starting a new thread.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance are smarmy and gross, like we're somehow obligated to help you because you already thanked us. It's another little snowflake tic that makes me grind my teeth.
Ps : On the registration page it's vecious to refuse people and give them BRAN MUFFIN title because of their email. I had the answers right, but took some time to realise that it was coming from my email.
Anyway I'm glad I could register in the end and be part of the so called [quote: some one on the web]jerk forum.[tagfail]
Do you seriously think it's a good idea to go somewhere and introduce yourself by asking for help in one breath and bitching about the registration process in another? The registration process is difficult and hostile for a reason.
Ps2 : Sorry for my english, it's a bit rusted. Please dont flame me too much, I'm sensitive ! (dont belive the sensitive part XD)
ESL is not a "Get Out of Noobdom Free" card, especially when coupled with such obvious flamebait as the final sentence (complete with hidden message hilarity). We expect you to not only read the FAQ before you post, but to FOLLOW IT. It helps to prevent me from having to type up these long responses with ANGRY EYES that get ANGRIER and MORE BLOODSHOT with every emoticon they see.
