Hi fellows. It just got to my mind like an idea and I'd like to take your opinion on it. Do you think that it will be good idea for newbies with AA to start sarging online (for example: Internet relay chat, SPAM etc.) just to kinda see how the thing could happen in real life? Sure online gaming is not the best real life situation but there is no AA and you get some training with patterns/routines, and other situations.

what i did was do profile sites, like myspace and facebook, add alot of local people, try to get alot of people you actually know, so they will leave comments on your page, have pictures of you with friends, your hobby/passion etc.. then just start networking from there. Add a few females.. comment on their pages but dont do it all the time, just enough to kind of have them become familiar with you.. esp if they comment back.. then over time you can say "hey Sara do you have SPAM/aol/msn etc?" .. then go from there.

Don't take it too seriously, just something you can do on the side while you surf the web/play games or whatever you do online.

When i was 14-16 like 10 years ago, i used to do the MSN chat rooms, the local ones to my area and go from there, then exchange numbers and become phone friends etc.. So I suppose if you really wanted to start with chat you could do that.

I wouldn't recommend it honestly. With all the great online game techniques available on this forum and others, it's easy to get good at online gaming quickly. Newbies might use it as a crutch and never do infield game. There's nothing wrong with online game. I do it when I'm at home during the day with nothing to do. Just don't think that rAFC's should start out with it. May hinder their growth in real-world gaming.

if somone is new and has AA, doing online game using normal game is just making excuses to not go out and do it, because going out and doing it at first makes people uncomfortable.

Again i have to agree with nate and sith. go out and sarge. join a local lair if there is one near you.

the first time i went sarging i had one mission approach girls and ask them for the time. if they get their phone out say whooaaa i asked for the time not your number.

simple yes.

i walked round the city centre for 3 hours and didnt do a single person.

dont be discouraged. i go out most weekends and do daygame. personally dont like it but it deffinatly helps with the confidence etc.
