What is your opinion on the word "noobs" or "noob"? I think anyone who uses it regularly just does so to make themself feel superior in some way. For the most part, the people who use that kind of word are the people that randomly insult others.

Lol, I don't use it to insult anybody. I only use it in Runescape when I call people that are ovbiously better than me( VERY high level players ) noobs. It's fun to see them over-react.

I feel like a geek using that word. So I refrain from doing so.
I try to refrain from using it in text, and have never spoken it aloud in my life. It is, when you get right down to it, a meaningless insult. People use it for everything nowdays. :rolleyes:

Yes, Kurt, but it is not always used like that. And I believe that applied to Kameo...I think.

I think I've used it in the past, but it a word i don't use too often. mostly when some one else said it I'll use it to rely to what they said

Well I think that the people on RS do say that word too much. It's annoying, so I GET REVENGE!!! But yes it is a dumb word that should get slapped.

Unless, of course, you actually literally go up to people randomly and say "(name) is a noob". That'd be pretty mean.
On Runescape, though, everyone is a douchewad. I played it till level 93 and 12 mil quit. I still have a santa hat and a bunch of ess, though.

My brother still plays that game, and he loves it. I got rid of my account because I got sick of all the people in it. I gave him all my stuff. Hey Kurt, if you don't want your account, my brother would probably want it, so if you want to give it away PM me. If you don't, then don't PM me. lol....

REALLY?! I was gonna go back to it, but I lost my account... in a plane crash.... *Hint*
Well I don't go around calling people noobs. I go around telling everybody that I'm stronger than them. It's funny to see guys with sara or even dragon chains on think that I'm serious.

They're not psychic, and they can't tell when you're kidding. If someone came up to me while I was wearing full D and a santa and told me that they could own me (this exact thing has happened, BTW), I would
a. check their stats to see if they are a pure
b. if not, laugh and challenge them in the Duel Arena for 500k.

Ouch. That can **** a lot of people off. For a lot of people, those games are their life, or at least are very important to them. So they can get unnecessarily mad. It just seems cruel, like Kurt said.

I use the word Noob/Newb but not in an insulting manner. Everybody has to start somwhere, there is nothing wrong with that. S in my Defintion We are all Newbs at some point in our lives, sometimes more than once with all the new things that are happening with technology. So yes, I say Noob. :)

I don't think that that is cruel in any way. I just say that I'm stronger, which is obviously a lie. It doesn't take too much brain for them to see that I'm half their level. Usually they just laugh so then I make interesting conversations, but none of them ever got offended. They just thought that I was somewhat of a moron. It's still fun though. :D

So yes, I say Noob. :)I'm talking about n00b or noob, not newb. Newb I don't mind so much. "noob" is mainly used as a derrogatory comment, so why use it at all? It's a *******ization of the word "newb" and is widely used for insults. If you call someone a noob, chances are if they've ever played an online game, they'll get upset at you. With the word "newb", not so much.

Yes that's true. That's why I don't make fun of noobs.

It's still fun though. :DDude, I do NOT understand the way you think. People honestly get very mad over that kind of thing. They would either reply, thinking that you were stupid, or they would wonder what you're smoking. In either case, most 'Scape players get needlessly mad, but there's no reason to provoke them.

Making fun of noobs is fun and dude kurt wtf are you talking about ANY online game considers ANY form of "noob" an insult i.e.
"NOOB"
"NOOBLET"
"NEWBIE"
"NEWBLET"
"NEWB"

"NEWB"I guess so, but some people use "newb" for other things. When people say "noob", people automatically think "insult". "Newb" is slightly less insulting.

That is why I don't much care for runescape. I hear the original one was good, but the new one sucks, because everyone is mean.
I agree with DarthBrady. We should have newb confessionals.

Not the ones I've talked to.... I guess it's sort of hard to understand what I mean, but no, I don't make/made anybody mad.

Some people were mean/distrustworthy in the old version, too. I've played the game since 2002, and it started out okay and the people in it got dumber, meaner, and greedier. I still have a fortune in it, but that's only because of investments. I sometimes check runescape.com/forums to check out the prices on things I own. My Santa hat has gone from 2 million, when I bought it, to what now, 16m? It's insane. Essence, now "pure" essence, has gone up nearly threefold, and I have several million in note form. My blue and green masks are worth more than all my armor combined. I get richer without doing anything, yet I'm definitely not going to go back to the game for a number of years.
I quit last year, BTW.
