I think what should happen is that as soon as you have completed a game with a n00b that you should give them good feedback. When they read it they will begin to think they are a good player and want to continue. Thats what hasppened wwith my brother anyway.

Sounds like a good idea to me. At very least it provides the rest of us with an indication that a new player is actually playing games.

You mean like: "Did not deadbeat despite being a bloody n00b"?

The other thing that I like to do to that I find helps a lot is when I see that a player is new to CC, in the chat I write something like "Hi playername, welcome to conquer club". Since I started doing this I have had very few deadbeats in my games.

I do the same thing. Always welcome them in game chat.....and make sure by private message that they know what they're in for if they've joined a terminator game....or an rt game.......
I find that telling them about all the info available on forum threads, and offering to answer any questions they might have go's a long way to preventing deadbeating as well.
Its also useful to explain how quickly their rep will get toasted if they do deadbeat..... :lol: Once they realize we were all noobs at one point, most will do the right thing. And we don't want the ones who don't anyway do we? :shock: :lol:
