When does QP Cloudy get out of NOOB jail?

There was a time when I would have welcomed a Ken B. status tracker on our front page. But I believe I speak for a majority of F:ATties that his "Welcome Back Kotter" antics have worn thin. Someone really needs to tell that guy "in or out, buddy, which is it". There are also rumblings that he is just doing this for the cake and pie that we typically serve in the F:AT office to celebrate his serial homecomings. I don't mean to cast aspersions, but with each subsequent "prodigal son" moment more and more brows are furrowed.

As for QP Cloudy,the quality of posts just isn't there although the quantity is. He simply isn't posting up to the lofty standards set by other, much more experienced F:ATties. I have often thought about suggesting that he apprentice with one of you 1000+ post members. I think a little mentoring might go along way with him. Often, when reading his posts, I can almost hear him whispering in my mind "will someone please tell me how to use this Web site".

If quality is what you're looking for, and is the qualifier as "no longer a n00b", then there's a lot more of us n00bs than not.

Pipe down, Senior fuckin' NOOB II.

I think the fact that someone was actually thinking about me and decided to post up a thread, says a lot about my ascendancy.

That or he's just REALLY lonely. In which case I've got some vacation days coming up.

Duke and/or Jeb, can you confirm the veracity of that photograph?

It's still not quite enough, but it is something that I will take into consideration. It's definitely a step in the right direction, away from the "how do u play lost city" posts.

It's photoshopped. You can tell from the pixels.

We should come up with a list of mandatory AmeriTrash activities. Until a n00b has run this gauntlet, he is just an AT n00b. Some possibilities:

1. Participated in a Friday Freakout.
2. Been heckled by Steve Weeks.
3. Has confessed to enjoying a really boring EuroGame.
4. Taken a strong position for or against Kickstarter.
5. Has reviewed a new game that most of us haven't played yet.
6. Spoke highly of a classic AT game before the reprint was announced.

Shellhead to the rescue! So I'm still the whipping boy, just not a n00b whipping boy.
