You're not coming across as politely as you may have intended. Hope this serves all of us to remember to help the newest customer over the ropes that we've learned. The more customers and more members of this forum, the greater the chance that OOTP continues on, improves, and gives us all of these great winters where baseball can still be played.

I don't care if it sounds harsh. Read the original post, second paragraph and tell me if someone is looking for help or not. I already tried to help in the CubbyFan thread and he chose to write this thread instead.
This doesn't serve anything. You need to base your posts on the person, not some generic way for everyone. The guy clearly is frustrated that things aren't going his way. Forgive me for trying to give him a kick in the rear to put him in the right direction. This is of course nowhere near the quality of your continued posts in this thread. The first one repeated what I said in a much harder to read form and the second one is pointless, since it adds nothing and attempts to attack me, despite the fact you have done nothing to help him.
You can talk about how bad other games are, how there are all these people, and so forth, but the truth is the guy had a chance to use other people and he didn't. He wants to learn OOTP, he stated this after I said that might be aiming high, so he now needs a push to learn it.
Rasnell, you sound like you are trying to sell something. There is a reason that people don't listen to car salesmen for example. If I am doing it so wrong, then why don't you help him. In your own words, with your own ideas.
