    The worst insult in NS is: Your mother is a nOOb!

    But seriously some peopel take the game to seriously. I mean I'm not going to go home and cry because you called me a "noob".

    Anyone who uses CS slang in NS should be shot... NO EXCEPTIONS.

    CS is like a virus, it does not need to spread to NS.

    Bleh, I personally think there should be a test administered when Natural Selection is installed to determine if you've actually read the manual before. Get less than 90% of the questions right, and the mod won't install. Randomize the questions each time, so they won't just keep trying untill they get it.

    Questions like:

    What is a sensory chamber?
    A) Allows for the upgrades of Scent of Fear, Cloaking, and Advanced Hive Sight.
    B) Auto Parasites marines that come into contact with it.
    C) Notifies the Hive Mind of incoming marines.
    D) All of the above.
    E) IT LOOKS LIKE A GIANT PHALLUS! I MUST BUILD IT FIRST THING!


    or

    What is the primary role of the Gorge Kharaa?
    A) To build alien structures and support your team.
    B) To look cute.
    C) It's level 2, therefore it must be better for attack than the skulk.
    D) I want a tail.
    E) I'm an idiot.

    to that i say, newbies dont know it lookslike a phallus! and my second time playing i put a sensory first because it costs 10 and the others cost 14, so surely it is designed for the early-game. i had gone gorge as a newbie because the team didnt ahve one, so they surely needed someone!

    Okay, you actually posted this after playing NS a third time?

    There are so many things wrong with this. Maybe if everyone had 33 resources for a while, then they would have needed a gorge, but for some reason I think every one was at 13 resources when you gorged.

    Generally, it's an insult to call someone a n00b because it generally means the same as lamer; someone who may or may not know how to play the game but does know how to spoil it for others. n00b is leetspeak for newb, someone who really is new to the game. n00b is used to demean those who do not play as well as those who are ""elite"" or think they are.

    i would be more offended if i was called a CSer.
    n00b just rolls off my shoulder because the person usually yelling at me is a complete moron that needs attention.

    Discussion in other threads has proposed, and I agree, that there is a significant difference between a newbie / newb and a n00bie or n00b.

    A newbie is, as the word suggests, someone new to playing the game. We were all newbies once, and then as we learned the game, we became progressively less newbie. In fact, some few become l337 (I am not one of them)

    A n00b is often someone who has played the game a lot, but cannot or will not play it with skill. Instead, they seem to take pleasure in spoiling the game for others.

    A N00b is a newb that never got any better.

    hey there, no reason to insult me, i said it was my second time palying, that was a long time ago. i just said that i was a newbie once and i can understand how they could be confused by some of the tactics in this game.

    LOL i just had the best idea for a spoof. You know those commercials where its got like people in a church then the pastor says have a safe trip home and they all creep out of a celler, or where the three guys are in a bar and one is complaining about the government saying THEY TAKE EVERYTHING, then the other 2 tell him to be quiet cuz they can ruin your life and then it says what if america wasnt america? freedom cherish it? Well how about one that has somone playing ns and everyone calling noobs then all of a sudden somone says cser and the whole game falls quiet... then a server message says Ulitimate-Sniper!!!11one's wonid has been logged, then his screen fades to black.
    What if less people played ns?
    Freedom... Cherish it.

    You don't know, some 7 year old kid might take it seriously. I mean cmon! I swear to god some of the kids that are on their comms bugging the commander for ammo and guns and stuff, i mean no lie guys, they're like 5, and then when you ask for their age and they get all defensive, they log off and cry into thei diapers. So, calling people a n00b hurts. and if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all.

    ***KILL THE FATTY***

    I usually laugh whenever I get called a noob.. mostly as the last time it happened, it was more along the lines of 'omg noob gorge!!!11!'.. about twenty seconds before the second AND third Hives both completed building. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Nothing like success to say 'SUCK ON IT!' to an idiot teammate.

    (As a note, he was annoyed because I was not building where he'd told me to.. instead using my RP to secure the bottleneck areas, and toss up the Hives so I could have some fun Sporing down the Marine team)

    No they take themselves too serious. Nothing is more pathetic than a man that you can turn ballistic by saying "Your mother is a dog". So pathetic.
