Is there a intro into VCMP?

Its not a disaster problem, it can't be a disaster problem, and it won't, but lets be honest for a second.
Most people who play VCMP are new right? Not a problem at all, VCMP is becoming popular, lets all celebrate, BUT WAIT. What if 80% percent of new VCMP players did the following.

1.Heard VCMP is GTAVC online, and that only.
1a."Obtained" GTAVC using certain "methods"
1b.Played the first 7 missions and thought "hey this is cool" while learning controls and other physics
2.Googled VCMP, dive bombed straight to a download link/files page.
3.At the installer, clicked every next in only 2 seconds.
4.Looked for the vcmp server browser.
5.Clicked Internet, then clicked on the server with the most players
6.Jumped right in the game without any understanding of VCMP

There we have it, that man (18+)* is most likely going to end up in XE's server or LW's. So what happens? He's going to waste half of his ammo on his teammates, a little curiosity wont hurt, after all default servers run the 0.3z FFA config. Until he Googles gtavc cheats and trys typing panzer or nuttertools on VCMP. Then he learns about the wonderful General Use Script, so after getting killed by random people typing !goto in front of his face, jumps and runs behinds him, and massacres him with a spaz loaded with 2000 ammo and a whooping M60 with whooping 5000 ammo, which they obtained using commands like !weapon, guess what our new fellow is going to try now? Hes spending 8 minutes trying to figure out why things like !weapon minigun 9999, !wep rocket launcher 5000, !we sniper 1000, and last but not least, !we teargas 500 doesn't work, and at this point of view, the learning curve for VCMP will most likely be extended to 1 day (literally.)

Ok basically, is there somewhere a person with absolutely no knowledge on VCMP can go read something, so he has atleast basic knowledge of what gos on and how?

Good idea, maybe it could be added on vc-mp.exe's FirstRun.

ooh, lets kill all noobs!  haha!

but your right, this does happen. and, tbh, i think most of us started like this (apart from the part of "obtaining" and that i completed VC first  )

i think its a great idea. it could be done in demo shield or maybe put inside the game like in vice studios, and it would help.
BUT what about the dial-up chinese? there not gonna read are they? being a nublet, is a perfectly natural way of learning.

the answer to your question(is there an intro into VCMP) No.
but there are many great tutorials, thanx to VercettiG and friends.

Not really, no. It's not that complicated. How do you think the other players learned it?

Besides, the server should always have a !info command.
