Don't own TFM. This is from the perspective of a pro who insults the noobies.
Everyone always sympathizes for the noob mice. Of course they do, their the new ones, the untrained ones. The ones who either get help or fall to their doom.
It's always sympathy, or a cannon to the face.
But is it really a wonder why we just kill them?
I'm not one of the sympathetic ones. But even if I do leave those mice to die, I'm not that mean either. Just because I'm a pro who doesn't help all mice, it doesn't make me a bad person.
Even if I jeer out at them, insult them and call them noobs, it doesn't make me 'bad'. It may not make me the best person to be around, but hey, there are people much worse than I am.
The sympathetic ones don't understand. They call me out for it. They may have seen what I've seen, but they didn't interpret it the way I do.
There's a reason, multiple in fact, why I don't help them.
Others may get through this, but they haven't as me. I've seen those noobs, over and over again, try and fail. I'll give them props for trying, but it's infuriating. Some of them can't even make it over a single jump.
It is especially bad when it's a simple map. The experienced ones, we go right through everything like it's nothing, then slip into the hole in under 30 seconds. And then we wait. And wait. And wait and wait and wait.
Sure, I see them struggling, trying to figure out how to do it like we did. I can tell that they themselves are frustrated, jumping, falling, dieing, over and over again. Like you can. But their frustration matches nothing to mine.
So I may not be the most patient. I may seem like a guy you might hate. But some really new mice can't even figure out how to climb chocolate. I've played long enough to see them just jump on it, and then let go, return to where they were, and jump again.
When they shaman, they can't even put the right planks in the right places. Of course, before that update where they gave you a menu of what nails could be put on, it's excusable. But now, I've found them trying to make a bridge out of just planks and anvils. Not. A. Single. Nail.
Others don't do a thing to help the mice and decide 'Oh, since I can't build, I guess I'll kill everyone instead.' Even those who help the mice can't deny that that point is not annoying.
The first few times, I did help. I gave them a big box to jump on, but they couldn't even get on it. I did try to put a smaller box so they can climb it like a stair, but the platform I built on was too small for that, and it would just fall off.
I've tried to attach them to balloons, but sometimes they wouldn't stop running around long enough for me to actually stick it on them. Other times, they just run off it. Even after I've yelled at them multiple times.
It's alright if it's only one mouse. One mouse is easy to help. But half a room was annoying. It was much easier, much simpler, to just blow them off the map or ice them then build another way.
For some pros it may be easy. But in this pro's eyes, they are only a nuisance.
So it might have been a little mean and rude, but since I'm one of the sympathetic ones I tried my best to capture the personality of someone who thinks noobs aren't worth it.
So yay me, I wrote this one-shot when I should be updating my other ones. I should stop making procrastination a daily part of my life. Anyways, Mew Shadowfang out!
