Why should I keep playing?

Why should I keep playing Netrek?  I'm trying to learn this game and I
don't really need people giving me shit for not learning better /
faster and generally being better.  Doesn't happen overnight.

Love to hear your feedback.

	Not only does it not happen overnight but I think it fair to
	say that netrek has one of the more steep learning curves.  It
	generally takes years to actually "master" the game; although
	you can become proficient in much less time.

	As far as the smack talk.  There has always been smack talk
	in the game and there likely will always be such; it's part
	of the game.  The best solution is to either mentally ignore
	it or make use of the ignore machinery that exists for just
	this reason.

	For instance, if you are being bothered by a player in slot R5
	you can send them ':' followed by any combination of 'i', 't'
	or 'a'.  These are flags that represent "Individual", "Team"
	and "All" respectively.  As an example you can send ":ita"
	to slot 5 via a message and that will tell the server that you
	no longer wish to receive *any* messages from that player as you
	have specified all three flags.  If, however, you want to see
	Team messages but ignore the rest you can send ":ia" which will
	ignore "Individual" and "All" board messages.

	These are persistent across sessions and last for up to 3 days
	at which time the server will clear them on midnight of the
	3rd day.

	If you wish to clear these earlier you can send the exact same
	flags and you will turn off the ignores you previously set.

	You can also send to yourself "ignoredby" to see whom you are
	being ignored by and "ignoring" to see whom you are ignoring.

Hi Brian,

Just ignore them and have fun learning at your own pace.
