Yeah, but it should be included anyway for the same reason Flame Sage said. Newbies sometimes make a game just to test out their abilities and if something like that happens they might give up entirely. For some people, it would be a good thing if they dropped out, but for others, we might end up losing a possibly very good programmer who could bring BYOND back to life (*Note: Even though BYOND has users, b/c of the vast majority of zeta rips, obnoxious noobs, etc. etc., BYOND is, in a sense, dead and we definately need a good programmer to start a huge project and make us all addicted to his game and then maybe we will start getting newbies who actually have the patience to learn what they are doing)
Also, it would not take long to add a few characters, so is there any reason not to? Besides the fact of laziness, that is.

Alive, maybe. Brainless, definately. All I'm saying is, most of the people on BYOND are noobs, not newbs. And for those who don't know the difference, a newb is someone who is new and has not yet learned much. A noob is someone who is obnoxious and asks things like "OMG can I pleze have admin?"
Now that you know he difference, I'm sure a lot of you who have your own game agrees that there are a lot of them, and the more frustrating BYOND is, the more likely newbs will decide to stay away, eventually killing BYOND. | |

Newbies are newbies. They don't know how things work and they want power, doesn't everybody? Just ignore them and if they continue to bother you, dare I say it? Pager ban. BYOND isn't dying or being killed, I think you watch way too much television. | |
<rant> BYOND is also full of people who write stupid posts and contradict themselves a lot. These people are also people who haven't been around for a long time who really to lie...when they suck at it </rant>

BYOND is very much alive; and this thread is very much closed, due to spamming, sniping, and general uselessness. =)

What are you talking about? BYOND is very much alive.
