We're total jackases to noobs. When we find a small community of noobs, or individual ones, we do everything in our power to crush their spirits. Not only are we jackases, but we're lazy. I mean, we play video games constantly, we're not exactly go-getters. We're not going to go out and 'recruit', we're not gonna try and teach people in any sort of patient matter. There are people who play in Laffy, there are definitely people who play in BR. There was a noob tourny at BRCC less than a year ago. Hypothetically, if we weren't lazy jackases, we're too disorganized to put things together. Now that I'm done with my diatribe, some suggestions.
Flyers work, Facebook works, Smashfests (and the like) work. I used to play in the Union with other OGs, and that allowed me to ease into a more competitive environment. Next tourny, I think before and after (if there's time), and even during (if there's enough setups) the tourny, we need to play the noobs and give suggestions, help them out, even play them with their own chars. I learned from RAM at a tourny the same way. I would do those things myself, but I'm one of those lazy jackases.
