It's funny to think of me helping out someone, when I'm still a newbie in comparison to many here.Kelse Mccann wrote: I appreciate all the help i get, or else i would be screwed, not saying im not currently screwed, but i would be more screwed, Laura F and Nikki S are my heroes lol
And btw, I noticed you got Tragedy. Good luck with him!!!!Anyway, the only person I've ever called out for overracing, I didn't even name. I think I just mentioned the colt's name, and that's mainly because I bred him and I REALLY liked his dam while she was racing (that's why I bought her in the SIM). With the breeders' bonuses, it's something to care about a bit more when there's a horse who LOOKS talented, but can't win because he/she is being overraced.
How could i forget Martin
But, at the same time it hurt pretty bad to have someone come out and basically tell me that it was my fault in a way that was totally rude and inconsiderate of the fact that I was and still consider myself to be a newbie on the SIM. That person took NO consideration of that fact into account when they wrote their comment in the NEW PLAYERS section of the forums. But I have seen what you guys are talking about and understand how fustrating it must be to have to repeat yourselves 5, 6, 7 times or more on the things you guys learned a long time ago. I also understand how fustrating it must be to have to watch people make their own mistakes and learn from them on their own, but at the same time if that person doesn't ask for help before hand and doesn't bother to read the available information that the Steward has set forth as a guideline to follow when playing the SIM. Then the only person they can blame is themselves. Not to say that PMing the person and trying to help out is wrong but to call someone basically in front of the whole SIM because either they aren't answering your PMs back or answering you back through the forums (where you have now called all kinds of attention to their playing style and habits) then thats where I think it goes overboard. Some people just have to learn things the hard way and others either learn their lessons or don't. So, who are we to call others out on their mistakes when we've all made mistakes weather on the SIM or in real life. Some mistakes we learned out lessons by listening to others, and others we either still don't get or learned the hard way.
