Incoming newbie?

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

I finally convinced an old friend of mine to install the CoX games I got him for his birthday a while back, at least for the first two free months. He's slightly skeptical, but I think the peer group here is a lot more to his taste than the idiots we encounter on World of Warcraft. x.x;
His name's Jesse, he's a math geek and a science-fiction fan (but not, by and large, into anime), and RPG player -- he GM'd an eight-year-long Champions campaign back in the 80s/90s. Smart, sarcastic, cynical.
We'll be setting his account up and loading the games sometime Sunday. I hope you can help me convince him to stick around...

I'm sure we'll all do our best! And I'll offer a hearty welcome to him in advance of actually meeting him!

Sounds a lot like me EML. Look forward to meeting him. If you say he's a good guy, I'll take your work for it.

I'll make sure the boys -don't- prank him, then.

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

He's installing and patching up right now.
4 hours and 35 minutes remaining. @.@;

Bad time to be installing the game, right after an issue release...
It could be worse. Could be like me, with FFXI to patch on three different systems, 3 hours each system...
-Morgan, will probably stop playing on the ps2 if I like the way the 360 version looks better though.

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

Yeah, we wound up with too little time to do more than a very basic intro to the game.
I'll be coaching him again come Thursday, we'll see how it goes.
