Errr.. yeah.... But instead of going "Bah! This sucks", I will try to be a bit more friendly, and useful.
Obviously you are learning PAWN scripting yourself. Is it really that good idea to make your first goal to teach others?
It is nice that you try, but face it - you don't have much to teach, while you yourself are still learning basics.
What I suggest you to do is - keep on with this GM you got here. But instead of doing it in form of "Teaching noobies", do it to learn yourself. Right now you don't really have a lot in your GM. A player who connects wouldn't really have much to do. Start adding something that player could achive. Don't start with a RP GM - you WILL be overwhelmed.
(Basic) DM, on the other hand, is much easier to script, and a lot of fun to play with friends, or anybody.
If you do this in form of learning yourself, instead of teaching, you will also get much better feedback, also. So instead of "Here you go, a basic GM for noobies", do - "Hey, this is the GM I'm trying to develop, help me with ideas, and optimizing, and bugs, and problems".
Trust me, you would be much better of. You would learn much faster. Get better feedback, thus motivating you to continue etc. And most of all, people would not think "Who the f"%# he think he is?! GM for noobies?! Who you callin' noob, you noob!!"
Try it!
