Please. Read it. Search the forums. Search the guides. Read the help threads. Search the internet. Find the answer yourself, or at least make an attempt. If, after looking for it, you STILL can't find it, THEN you can come to me, and instead of screaming at you/LARTing you/ripping you to shreds with my bare hands for being too incompetent to actually look for help, if I know the answer, I will actually TELL YOU. Possibly even GLADLY.

"WHUT DO I DOO HIER?"
Die, please.

"Oh great Ian, font of all knowledge, I have searched long and hard in the guides/on the forums/on the internet, but I can't seem to find where to look for this/the answer to it. Can you help me, please? I'll give you my firstborn!"
Oh, ok, sure. You can find that *here*/Ok, what you do is *this*. Do you understand, or shall I explain it again/walk you through/do it for you because you're still too incomptent, but at least you tried.

I am not a help desk. >_>;

[Tact]

What am I supposed to say about that? Can you tell me, Ian? Oh, just kidding. It happens to me with my PSO-playing friends.

[Scejntjynahl]

I can relate with you on this, my colleagues are the most ignorant ppl to walk the face of earth. My goodness their idiocy makes chimps look like Einstein. "Hey... how to I turn on the computer" *walks over, presses "on" button, walks away* "Oh my, you sure know alot about computers" Damn, and that is just one simple example. They dont even bother to look up the customers phone numbers even though our whole god damn software is based on searching existing clients by: name, city, zip, state, phone. etc etc... So if you have any of these you could locate the client. Of course, that is, if the client information was inputed into the database to begin with *sigh*...

[HUnewearl_Meira]

All I can say on this subject, is that I have actually had someone inform me that their keyboard doesn't have a "Start" button after I told them to hit the button on a program labeled, "START".

[PJ]

...this is because of me, right?

[Nai_Calus]

Nah, you're not nearly that important.

You, Wazzy, my mother, etc. Just anyone. n.n

[00:02] <Shurikane> [00:02] <Feena> he keeps on changing the thing

I told him to STFU and then blocked him. I was too tired by then...

[Mixfortune]

[23:46] <Shurikane> Oh. My. Fucking. God. On. A. Haagen-Dasz. Stick.

Hmm, yes. Earlier today I played E1C4, the stage with De Rol Le. One of the hunters was using a brand on the head. He didn't use a sword because he "doesn't like them". Yay...

He was also asking what the S-Rank time was for the particular stage. He knew that all stages under seven hours bit, but that didn't stop him from stopping to type out his question over and over again on what the S-Rank time was for C4... gah!

I was paralyzed and the FO, with no antiparalysis left. I asked for antiparalysis, but the others didn't have any... ok, that's fine, my TP was low anyways, so I'll die for TP and use a scape to get rid of my antiparalysis. The next room the hunter dropped 3 antiparalysis. Yay?

He said it was his first time doing E1C4... but C'MON! He wasn't even following the basics of CMode. He kept following me into the box rooms trying to destroy the boxes and get all the items. Argh!

At the end he called us Ash Holes. Oh no!

You should have been here last year back during the "admins are Nazis" era.
