What were your first questions when you came back to the hobby?

[WEIRDWOLF]

What was the first thing you remember asking when you came back to the hobby or entered the forum for the first time? We will use these questions to help develop our rookie coaches section.

Also, as you puruse the forums on your daily purusings keep your eyes open for threads that answer those basic questions and post the links in the rookie coach section. Eventually, we are going to edit those posts down to direct answers, sort of like a FAQ for the new coach.

Where do I buy figures, boards and accessories? Is there anybody else on this board in my area? What the heck is a weirdwolf?

[5-13 Studios]

where do i buy everything?
is there anything besides the traditional figures (fab 5) available?
do these guys still run akwardly, or has there been any improvement?
are the paint jobs still as sloppy as they were when i was a kid?
are any of the old items valuable collectors items?

[WEIRDWOLF]

Looking for more. Help out guys.

What do you mean by "tweaking a base"??

[Geno H]

I think something that would be helpful is a list of all bases current and non current and the positions they are best suited for.
And I guess along the same lines would be to do the same type of list with figures.
Just a thought.

1) How do you pass (most newbies stand the TTQB straight up and down and didn't know you could angle while still touching the board)?

2) What happens when they start running in circles? How do you handle that?

3) What are all the manufacturers out there of boards and figures?

4) A lot of guys didn't know you could spin safeties in a lot of leagues and then adjust the dial after the one stop.

5) Tweaking, definitely...how do you make bases faster and stronger

6) Where are the local leagues and tournament calendar?

7) How much does it cost for a starter set and then how much does it cost if I really want to be good (time and money)?

8) When does the album "On the Rise" by Billy B come out??

I had many, but can't remember them all. Hopefully, I am not repeating any:

#1 In your opinion, who are the best coaches out there?

#2 Who can I learn from that could serve as a mentor for me in this game? This person does not have to be in the lime-light or well known (actually I prefer the opposite), but he must be honest, sincere and trustworthy.

#3 Of course, how do you tweak for this and for that?

My first question when I went to Miggle site to get the game for my son was, "Is this for real that guys are still playing this game?" I had to see it to believe it. When I saw it being played and actually participated and met some great people I was hooked again.

How do I boil a base ?
