Author Topic: If people are calling you a Noob this is why...  (Read 2814 times)

How they got the name newbie: Before it entered popular discourse by way of the Internet, the term "newbie" had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit.


Meanings:
Newbie is usually used to refer to a new person who has recently joined the group. Several alternate spellings and occasionally the original word, are used to refer to a member who is generally unwanted or disliked in the community

Noob

The game definition of noob is usually someone, often in online games who acts in offensive ways to other users or people that surround them and refuse to go away, or stay by any other methods for the sole purpose of annoying others. The word noob can also mean in an online game someone who did something stupid, or asked an obvious question. For example, if someone asks a question answered in the FAQ or is common knowledge, others will call that person a noob.

Newb

Newb is also considered a relatively new person to a game that is inexperienced and doesn't know what they are doing. This term is often addressed as newb(Newbie). However, in recent times this term is infrequently used and has been widely accepted as being replaced by noob.

Nub

Nub is currently the new way of typing or saying it.

So heres a list I came up with that will tell you if you are a noob:

1. If you are disrupting/ annoying another player these include:
A. Hammering people (unless in death-match)
B. Pinking people
C. Spamming
D. Random shooting
E. spawn killing


2. Building in all one color.
3. making a build out of 1x1x5's and 1x1s
4. Spamming the chatbox or advertising your website.
5. Banning someone because of their name or ID.
6. Random trust Invites
7. Asking for Admin or super-admin
8. Saving an internet server then claiming its yours.
9. If you Tell others to press Alt-F4.
Don't listen to those who say "Press alt f4 for a secret thing to be unlocked", alt f4 will close Block Land, its just a way people get on other peoples' nerves
10. Do not just build whatever or wherever you want, unless of course the server is a freebuild, many servers are previews of builds, or set up for games such as death-matches.
11. Try to use proper English, that means no this: Hiy i lik blooklanf does u!...
12. Don't join clans without asking first.
13.Could be noobish: Don't make any clans. Choose one of the existing ones, there are over 9000 clans!
14. Don't talk in all caps, it's interpreted as yelling Unless you are yelling of course.

Discuss..... Thanks

Because people were getting mad cause the name was wrong.

A lot of those are also signs of being an elitist fsck.

Like being tribal and calling people by religion or race.

This thread breaks Rule 8.

Not exactly I did change a few words from the first one to the second one

I could not change the topic name so i had to make a new one  =(

This thread breaks Rule 8.
This are not cross-posting.

But I have no reason to defend this, IMHO, this "guide" BLATANTLY SUCKS.
A n00b is incapable of writing about why he's branded as such.
Go kill thread please, leave it to someone "better" to write this.

I would disagree with number 13.  It should be more if you have a few failing clans than don't make any more.  Let the new people try to make a clan.

That's a Big statement. I hate religion so it makes me tribal? You make me sick.

Not tribal, but it's still discrimination.

how could you forget making random mini games O_O


i don't think pinking is all that big a deal, it only lasts like 3 seconds.

If someone tels you to press alt f4 and you do it then you were annoying them or they are just evil. Making you the noob.
