A Noobs response

Usually the 'initiation' involves determining whether or not someone has humor or wit.

That answers that.

This.

But not only this. Noob initiations are also a test of situational awareness. I am repeatedly amazed at clueless initiates who have not the slightest idea of what is actually going as they are being flayed.

There are few acts of "character" more revealing and entertaining than the prey protesting their outrage and "innocence" to the predator and demanding civility, justice and a sense of fair play.

"Perhaps if you are looking for civility, justice and a sense of fair play, I can direct you to somewhere heavily modded, hopefully with a like button."

It's wonderful when people jump right in and do beautifully. It does happen, and I have a bunch of friends from it.

Would you like to be my friend?
 
Do you like video games?

I don't really if I'm honest.When I were a lad used to play the original space invaders game,the one where you used to sit down and play against your partner having first put 10p(circa 20 cents ?)in the slot.Fucking useless I was at it,but great fun none the less.😀

Yes, I know what Space Invaders is.

Okay, so scratch that.

That's okay, I have friends that have no interest in video games, some of them are even in this thread and if they can forgive me, I can forgive them.

Any other talents, things at which you are not fucking useless?

Seriously, if that's your superpower, you should get a refund.

It's not but I tend not to want to be the centre of attention,so I keep my light hidden under a bushel most of the time(if Kate ever finds out I will probably get arrested,of course)

You are the light of the world.

Do you like musicals?
 
I like them with the sound turned off if I'm honest.

Do you?

So there go the "Godspell" and "Pajama Game" lyrics...

Yes. Yes, I do.

How do you entertain yourself when not applying conventions from one real space to another, pretend space?

...please do not say taxidermy.
