This should be either a titled event, or the standard greeting for new players. Or both!
"How the pancake you doin'? Welcome to CoX!"
... or "How the pancake you doin'? How's about I show ya the two scoops around here?"

Done.

Having seen this thread's various forms I can accept the latest as it at least conveys the idea.
How the Pancake you doing!? indeed.

That was a nice story, especially since I got chewed out this evening by a fellow vet for answering questions in the Help channel. I was told that "don't talk in Help unless you need help." How one is supposed to respond to requests for help via tells when trial accounts (the only ones who seem to use Help) can't receive them is beyond me.
Also, this thread made me crave pancakes.

Best. post. ever. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the fine writing and sentiment.
It's so true that it's wonderful to share the game with new players and to re-experience that first excitement with them. Good for you, and I hope that I catch a glimpse of that 8-foot purple box of fiber goodness sometime. I'll ask him how the pancake he's doing, for sure!

Thus ensuring those people who need help will never get the answers they are seeking, because no one who doesn't need help is allowed to use the channel to answer their question?

I don't know if this makes me a bad person, but when I get an excessively friendly (or excessively vulgar) tell from a person I don't know, I tend to ask the obvious question: "Do I know you?" There have been quite a few instances where a person will reply with: "No, but I kind of needed help with this and that. Could you help me out?" Kind of hard to refuse a simple request like that unless I physically can't.
Let's hope the newbies that Freedom brings will, as your grade school teacher will tell you, "use [their] words." There are few things harder than helping someone when you're not quite sure what he's saying or what he's asking for, but there are also few things more satisfying than helping someone who's willing to work with you.

Well, I didn't even realize when I was reading that 'pancake' wasn't your original censor word! I mean, it was pretty obvious you wouldn't be affronted at pancake.|

Anyway, yeah, it doesn't have the same impact as the original letter but at least a few of ya got to read the director's cut. This community rocks btw. |
Good story. I remember being helped out on freedom years ago when I first got started, so good memories triggered by this story.
I didn't cuss at anyone, though.

Pancake, now the dirtiest word in the CoX universe.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
The first mod edit was just confusing. Now it reminds me of my favourite album review ever: Pancakes! Pancakes!
