I hear ya Perverted Lain, High School is High School. As long they're not more than two years younger than me.
As for the arcade, I have a virtually deserted Putt-Putt, on the occasional times when new (always young kids) people come in, my friends and I assert our dominance of the machine, crowd around it. When we see a young kid who genuinely wants to play, we invite them up and show them a thing or two even. |

Sadly I must say part of the fault lies on some of the regular DDR arcade patrons. It is we who should take the effort to teach n00bs the proper DDR etiquette. I ain't talking about the respect stuff. naaaah... that's entirely different. I am talking about the token line procedures, shadowing, arrow tapping, etc. That asinine annoying crap that goes on. If no one takes a stand (politely and diplomatically) then the bad behavior will continue. And if we as regulars cannot do it I say take it to the arcade staff. So do care and will get rid of the bad ppl.
Or you can resort to other tactics... such as pissing off the n00bs, embarrassing the crap out of them. Fun stuff like that... but it ain't nice to do. _________________

I kind of have to agree and disagree. We do have to teach the young people manners, but I would have to blame the young people's role models. It is the role models who needs to teach them the facts of respect. I had to earn my respect when I was a newbie. It got me to move up to heavy in just a couple of days. I yielded, and shadowed the game in my head, and not have to follow with my feet. I know my limits when I am on the pad. _________________

yeah that was what i thought he meant too. i was expecting like "they always touch me while im playing DDR and one time i touched back and now im typing to you on a laptop from the prison cafeteria!" damn... this thread could've been so much more exciting. _________________

kick them off the pad. if they ask to shadow tell em NO. if they dont listen threaten them, if that doesnt work go to the manager and get them kicked outta the arcade and then laugh. n00bs will learn someday. |
