    The Profile Picture Perfection Award - @Ikaru, if only because he's found one great avatar and has the patience to stick with it

    There's no need to change perfection, my friend.

    EDIT: actually i will put a hat on it.

     

    The Craziest Conspirator Award - when I asked about the "birds aren't real" movement @ZEL responded, and I quote: "i want that shirt with the pigeon drone design on it"

    Most Likely To Really Be Ferdinand von Aegir - Definitely @Marcello

    EDIT2:

    I-it's Not Like I Wanted to Win or Anything Award - Just for @Felix~ who just used the exact words "i don't need sincerity lia, i need noms"

    Every time you ask when E17 is coming out, it gets delayed by another week

    But this is very much a thing. More so, I actually often give up on even using the search function and wade through the board index pages manually to find what I'm looking for, because often I find myself in the situation where I know something has been discussed before, but using the search won't give me the results that I know are out there. Maybe because the actual thread doesn't use the keyword I'm searching for despite being about that thing, or whatever.

    Some keywords are also so broad that you have to wade through a ton of unhelpful results, and not everyone's good at figuring out how to narrow it down.

    It is ... vaguely associated with this topic what with people potentially being unable to find things that are definitely out there; I believe the reason for this is that archived results aren't displayed. At that point the best we can do is remember which sub-forum it was in and look manually. Which is gross.

    As for the rest it looks like everyone else understands it so thank you all.

    Ah finally , i was hoping for a modo to make a general big topic of this to prevent ( or at least trying to prevent ) newcomers to keep asking the same question and **** us in the same time. 

    -

    And there are no questions about it , just one thing to know : ep 17 will be out WHEN IT WILL BE OUT.

     

    Maybe things will be more clear now.

    -

    But there is one thing i do when i register on a forum for the first time : introduce myself. And not directly create a topic called " any idea when ep 17 came out ??????? please please please " and then vanish when i got my answer. 

    You've managed to miss the entire point of the post. This is not to prevent newcomers from asking the same question nor "**** us" (whatever that's supposed to mean...). This is to establish that we are expected to be patient with new users asking questions for the first time. We have the answers and we've seen these questions a thousand times but they do not and they have not. It is incredibly off-putting to be ridiculed or have dumb inside jokes thrown at you instead of an actual answer to the question that you put yourself out there to ask. It's not solely about the game either.

    Additionally, there's still a negative preconception of new users in your last message which is exactly what we're looking to avoid. The latest person to introduce themselves barely even mentioned the game and when they did it was solely to say they weren't familiar with it. The rest was a perfectly legitimate introduction.

    usually, when I say that it gets delayed I say that it's just a running gag here because I don't wish to come off as snappy. however, I do take a little issue with the question. because if they don't know when it's getting out, no matter how long they've been playing. Why would we know it and not have it in an obvious place on the forums? maybe I'm just a very stupid person for thinking like that and maybe it's showing how bad my social skills are, but that's just my 2 cents about it

    Again, the point is not the repeated questions that we may or may not have the answers to, the point is the manner of response.  Instead of "It'll be out when it's out" or "everyone time someone asks ame delays it hehe xdddd," direct them to the devblog page on the site. Answer legitimately. "We don't know any better than you do, but you can keep up with it with the rest of us here." "This post details the new testing process; it's currently in the beta phase and should be done with that soon, and after that it will be available to the community as a whole."

    Oh Sweety no rush on anything~ This is your game and you only decide when to release it. The community is just so grateful for your creation it's creating so much hype. Nonetheless, take all the time you need. We'll be waiting here...you know.....making fun of each others! lol ~

    I'm sure Amethyst appreciates the kind words but that is only a fraction of what this post is for. And I don't think making fun of each other is the example she intends for us to lead by.

    I only answer repeat questions anymore if I can control myself from giving an exasperated answer (Steam Eruption  Dendeye), since I know that can scare off newcomers (or at least give them the wrong impression---I don't want to become Insurgence's community).

    Please don't make it sound difficult as if you have to "control yourself." It isn't. Give an answer they're looking for or say nothing.
