Thank you, seebs, for that absolutely spot-on representation of a guide for normal people playing this game.
I doff my hat to you, sir.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
Wow, I don't now how I missed this for so long. Fantastic!

I didn't read the guide. I make it a point to never read any information about games I play. Information is for suckers.

This is a hilarious guide. Thanks for writing it!
Also, I'm stealing this line for my sig.

Still awesome, though.

There is now a small but increasing-in-volume voice in my head that says for this year's April Fools Day, I must use this as a basis for a 10-minute-long video guide to COH. *laughing*

That was the most hilarious thing I've read in a while. It was awesome. Thanks! xD
It's getting to the point where the replies on this thread are just as entertaining as the op. We need to spike this thing up in popularity, 100 pages or bust. Go for broke!
Also, I especially liked the whole part about Empathy, easily the set I see people play the worst all the time.

Was cackling like a hyena the entire time.... GREAT Post Seebs
That was one of the best guides I've read so far. All the SG/VG members had a great laugh 
Keep up the good work ^^
It's in my sig now, I believe.

Hilarious post. This part made me especially LOL.

I'm not sure I agree with his insinuated preferred playstyle for empathy defenders, but the point was very comedically written and made me laugh nonetheless.
Kudos!

Obviously the original poster has spent a lot of time playing with me on Live in order to come up with a distinct image of what a "suck" player is.
This is pure win and should be stickied

Shame on all of you who suggested this thread is wonderful and should be stickied, starred, and what have you. This guide is clearly not sticky-worthy, as it should be required reading with a quiz you must answer correctly to play, nay, even log-in to the game. What's sad is, I'm only half joking there.
Epic win, seebs, I just hope there are updates coming!
There is one teensy missing part in the "building your character" sections though. Allow me to contribute, if I may :
"The need (nay, NECESSITY) to come up with a loud, clashing costume that will give headaches to other players. It'll ensure both that they'll see you (and thus pay attention to you) the whole time and distract them from their targets - if not block view of said targets altogether - thus ensuring no one steals your kills. Because, you know, drops and XP obviously aren't shared across the team, so you need to do all of it to be sure to get all of it.
Plus, if you're male and tasteful, you're definitely gay, or French, and you don't want people to think you're gay (or French), RIGHT? And if you're female and tasteful, either you're a girl looking for sex or a gay guy playing a girl, and you wouldn't want to be those either - you're here to WIN ! (See section on SGs for more on the subject)"
And I dare anyone to tell me they never met a character who fit THAT bill. *shudders*
Well done! Not sure how I missed this all these months, but it's remained fresh.
