Well when I first got here in 1998 there was the Guide, the Reference, A taste of DUNG, and Night Soil. So there have been resourses to learn from for a very long time.

Zilal's tutorial helped me. I remember going through another sort of tutorial the was an introduction to DM and looked a lot like the reference. I can't remember what it was though. Z's tutorial has been around for a long time.
When using DUNG; A taste of DUNG (like A StepBYOND), and the guide.

When using BYOND; Zilal's tutorial, and the reference.

That's what I learned from... the Guide. I forgot all about it.

The guide helped me to understand BYOND...but how can you forget our friend Mr.F1 at the top of the keyboard..he has always been there for us and has taught us all so much *sniff*

He's a crack head for calling it Mr. F1.

AAAAAAARGH! If you were here right now, I would foresake a lifelong devotion to pacifism and choke you to death with your own intestines.

V:TM soooooooo did not invent the word "antedeluvian." The word means "preceding the deluge," i.e., the great Biblical flood, and is thus synonymous with "ancient" or "very old."

I can tell that YOU are a V:TM player, though, because such people are universally incapable, as you apparently are, of telling where V:TM ends and the entire rest of the universe begins. If you went to Scotland and heard people talking about their clan insignias, you'd probably pull out your character sheet.

Actually, I'm not a V:TM player. It's just that I know several people who are and that was the only place I'd ever heard the term. I apologize if I offended you by saying that, and retract the comment. Even so, there's no need for such a wild outburst to a simple statement. And as for choking me with my own intestines, you'd have to get YOUR intestines down off my pine tree outside and and back into your own body before you BLED to death in order to do it. Consider THAT before you threaten me.
