Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro

…and I’m VERY disappointed. F U Mayans! We are running a Terminator marathon here on the ship though…
-
It has moved from Terminator, to 2012, and now The Day after Tomorrow….nice morbid navy humor!
-
Independence Day next… right? Oh wait, we win in the end…
-
3 billion dead…every major city destroyed…Bill Pullman as President? Where is “win” in any of that?
-
Will Smith says, “Welcome to Earth!” and then nukes their mothership with the guy from Jurrasic Park. I call that a win for the humans.

Well I wasn’t disappointed.
I had been thinking for months about how on the 21st I’d finally have an excuse to get the shotgun out, but when NOTHING happend I just went to bed disappointed :(
Then…
at 4:30am Dec 22nd I heard some breaking glass… !
I lay in bed frozen for about 3 seconds - listening, then in a lightning fast movement, I jolted up, grabbed the pump from the closet, removed the trigger lock, and although I left it unloaded - I was READY for anything.
I edged towards my front door, flicked on the carport light and said “Hey YOU!” CLICK-CLICK
I checked it out but it was nothing. :( :( :( :( Just a garbage can in the wind that knocked over a glass jar. :(
But then - standing there in my carport with a shotgun wearing nothing but my underwear. I realized that in some way - my original wish had come true! LOL.

Yea that happened on an episode of Bonanza. It was Hoss in his jimmy’s getting a ham sandwich. Little Joe rigged some bottles so he could force Hoss to stay on his diet and win the $1500 bet at the Flapjack eating contest.
