You want to be a king, but if you have no subjects, who will you have dominion over? A king needs peons to chop the wood.

You are pretty good at my favorite game, and that's kind of neat. W2 skills intrigue me. It's a fantaaastic game.

You may not believe me, but I want more happiness and joy for you than you seem to want for yourself. The more people that are playing W2, the more easily any W2 player can find a game, even at weird Australian hours. More people will keep coming back to W2 if they have a fun time on it. It's basic logic that you don't have to get emotional over.

Being nice to others will make you smile more. It's weird how that works.

(Your first inclination may be to reiterate that I should have rocks thrown at my head and be run over by a bus, etc., but really, I mean, that's maybe a bit overkill for having read a few words from an internet stranger.)

I've never wished you harm, and still don't.

There is a W2 newb called Asmondgold on YT who got 464K views 2 days ago playing W2 campaign. He has 3.1 million subscribers and probably made more money newbing it up on W2 campaigns than either of us have ever made in our lives. It's estimated that he makes 2.5 million dollars per year. Even if you don't do it for concern for others, even totally selfishly if you think it through logically, it would serve you to be nice to newbs since you never know which one can influence thousands or millions of other people that could either greatly enrich or destroy the game you love. Doesn't mean you have to play with them even, just be human to them since they are human beings somewhere who have bad and hard days sometimes and are maybe looking to use their free time to rest and relax rather than be insulted and told to gtfo from the new game they just paid for, maybe excited to relive some childhood memories.

The W2 remaster is an opportunity for W2 to have a better, bigger future than that of a tiny, dying game.

Every person who spends money on this old game is looking for the same thing we are: they want to have a fun time.

Every "worthless newb" is a human being. In real life, they are office workers, cops, lawyers, managers, politicians, musicians, hotel staff, parents. Many of them are adults with limited free time. If they have a good time at W2, they are likely to play again. If they are treated rudely, told "Get lost, newb" and the like, there are countless other games, movies, shows, and things they can do for fun other than W2.

It's in the best interest of pros who love W2 and enjoy the glory of being great at something to have a game that is active and popular. It's in your best interest to be polite to newcomers, newb or not, because the future depends on having a playerbase.

I'm not saying you have to play with them even or make friendship bracelets for each other while braiding hair, just that you can say "We are playing with friends and need your spot" which won't leave such distaste in a person's mind towards the whole game experience and think "Wow W2 players are dicks".

This is an opportunity for W2 and it would be a mistake to apply the "ru welcome" (ie GTFO loser!") that successfully drove countless people out of ru.

The new "cool" is being considerate, welcoming, and friendly and forgoing the high of feeling above someone for a few moments of glee while bashing someone who thought W2 might be a fun thing to try.

Don't assume there is an endless stream of newcomers. If they have a bad time, they will find something more fun to do.

Not much glory in being "the best player" among 50 in a world of 8 billion.

I wish you were still around so I could very uncreatively laugh at your aging on your birthday and you could laugh at the lameness of the comment before inviting me to get beaten up at W2 1s.

I had such fun with you and so wish that it could have lived into and through today.

Matty. Beautiful name, beautiful laugh, beautiful kind spirit.

You are missed, Matty.

Matty, you're not forgotten. You were one of the people who made W2 awesome. You were a rare gem among humankind. You had a kind heart, a cheerful way, a welcoming spirit, a contagious laugh, and a ferocity that never quit. You are missed. I am so not ashamed to admit I can still cry when remembering you and the great times you brought to the W2 community. I wish you were still here.

Matty,

Death is so permanent. All the memories and all the laughs that you once shared with someone who's gone, you now hold alone.

I can't believe I'll never hear your voice live again.

Thinking of beautiful you, all alive and warm, that playful, fun guy, as a lifeless, motionless, cold body is awful.
I hate that you've been taken by this force that leaves us helpless.

I'm glad I told you while you were alive that I admired how you played with heart, how you loved impossible games, how you were no coward. You'd take on any match or challenge with not a word of complaint or fear. I'm glad I told you I cared, I'm glad I told you you brought me joy.

We were matched as allies one tournament, and clicked and became good W2 friends and continued to be allies in tournaments before the server split. We played other games too like chess and your favorite scrabble-like word game and others.

Your playful, competitive, laid-back nature was devoid of malice.

Matty told me his other closest W2 friends were PBRMEASAP, ^Adam^ (also gone), and iLxSnappy.

I started reading through our Discord chat history and it feels unreal that the amazing person who had so much life and beauty is just gone for good.

If not for W2, this game we both loved, we never would have become friends or talked.

You were one of my all time favorites.

Of course I cry for you, sweet and beautiful Matty, never mean spirited towards anyone. I saw you stand up for me when others were to me.

You leave behind a hole. The world of W2 will never be the same without you, Matty. I'll remember you with warmth and fondness as long as I'm around. You will be dearly missed.

You should listen to what Dugs says about dodging. He is rather an expert on it with at least 1 year and 4 months of experience.  :sweat:
