So i was starting a party for Royal Jelly mission, when one of my newly made friends from yesterday's events so happened to pop up into the room. At first I was greatly well, bothered. He was in full proto gear, with a thwack hammer and a proto gun. Naturally I didn't feel like this was going to work, but being nice, I let him try it for one level.

I was dead wrong...

Not only did he actually kill stuff with his little hammer, he pulled of a difficult revive, and offered to tab me, cuz i revved alot to keep him alive. (well just twice because i revved him, twice cuz i was stupid.) On top of that he was not whining or annoying or begging for revs when he died. And there was a lot of times I had to kite a bit killing enemies while he was dead on the ground.

The-Hidden-Sword, you have restored part of my faith into the noob community.

Thank you.

A noob is a person who really

A noob is a person who really sucks at a game but refuses to learn/listen to people who are skilled. Many of them may have been playing the game for a while, but still suck at it. They usually have no hope. This term is often confused with the term "newb," and people who confuse these terms are usually either noobs themselves, or somebody who is good but is just mean (and has a lot of pride for being skilled).

Newb comes from "newbie." Somebody new to a game and they will generally suck at it. However, the reason that they suck is because of their unfamiliarity to the game. They have the potential to become good. This is not a derogatory term. Also, newbs are not always bad at the game, as they may have played similar games in the past, but when it comes to knowing where things are, or information- they don't know.

@Asukalan

I'm pretty sure everyone understood that Daarke meant "newb community" according to those definitions. Don't take everything literally, especially not on the interwebz.

I think he was talking to me

In any case, you seriously need to get your head out of your butt Askalan. Attacking everyone because they don't meet your supposed standard of absolute political correctness. Guess what, noob and newb are both MADE UP WORDS. Which means anyone can use them exactly how THEY like and it does NOT have to be the same meaning as you have for them. So get over your I'm always right complex and actually contribute to a discussion instead of "correcting" everyone inside of one.

To me noob=newb. both mean a new person. people who suck, I call sucktards. Anyways, what happened to the OP? xD

All words are made up. Some of them long time ago while other ones just recently.

lol...

Asukalan was just stating a general point... nowhere did it say you had to agree.

why must everything be taken as a personal attack.?

mmm, noms

I like noms.

Anyways, like I said it could be someone more experienced giving themselves a handicap (like the people I see running FSC in proto gear). Or as others have said, it could be a new person with better than average starting skills.

if it happens again, just enjoy the show ;)

Eh.

Asukalan's definitions of 'noob' and 'newb' are the very same that I have carried for the past...six years. And yes, the two are different. If you deny this, you seriously need to look up an urban/gaming dictionary. Making up words is meaningless if you don't give them a definition.

Randomzz

we can ALL get back on topic. According to Shidara and Asukalan, we all must agree with them or we're stupid/ignorant. THat's what I take issue with, the fact they dismiss that we can have different opinions and definitions. If you look at the majority of Asukalan's posts, that's what you see.

gonna quote this so people actually talk about the thread and not two "definitions"

"mmm, noms
I like noms.

if it happens again, just enjoy the show ;)"
