Simple question.

I just got an email from someone saying he wants to get a team going on a "highspeed robot action game". Ignoring the poor grammar for a second:

WHY THE HELL COULDN'T YOU MAKE A TEAM REQUEST IN THIS FORUM?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
DO YOU EVEN USE DARKBASIC?
AND WHAT THE HELL POSSESSED YOU TO SEND ME AN EMAIL TEAM REQUEST?

And if this is the wrong place to even ask, just say.

You I think there's only 1 hell but that's just me. Well whoever it was probably couldn't get their team request accepted. But you put your email on the boards, so any random stranger could get it.

Well, I'm trying aren't I.....

When Life gives you lemons make orange juice. Then sit back and wonder how it was done.

OK, but I didn't expect a team request from said random stranger.

1. I'm sure the mods denied him for lack of information.

2. See the line that says who it's from.

3. Do any of us use darkbasic? You'll have to assume if he's making a game in darkbasic he uses darkbasic.

4. Most likely a demon, or maybe one of my cats.

It wasn't me though, just answering your questions.
And turn caps lock off next time.

The caps are there for a reason. To simulate shouting.

All it says in the from line is an AOL address.

Send him a reply maybe?

Also, why shout on the internet? We can't hear you you know.

Because I said I used caps to simulate shouting.
Back on subject, please.

I know he already said it, but I thought I'd like to quote him too....

Why simulate shouting when we can't hear the simulation?

And wouldn't him hitting the keys make a sound?

And wouldn't if he hit the keys hard in anger it'd make a louder sound?

Hmmm...

Can we drop that subject, please.

I'm trying to find out who this monkey is.

OK, I've tried replying to him (probably the dumbest thing to do, but I'm getting nowhere here).

Found out who he is.

Apparently he's registered as Omega Zero. I've politely turned down his offer, for a number of reasons.
