    Re: What really is a "n00b"?

    Yeah why/how the hell is this in CT? Definition of words really isn't critical thinking, unless they have such varied connotations on different ends of the spectrum. A noob is someone who is new to something and goes to the "pros" for help or advice. It is all part of the hierarchy of the Internet in general. There has to be a scapegoat for everything, and that is what a noob is.

N00bs are usually classified as having a job, an active social life, and possibly a lover. These things are reviled in the "gamer" community, which means that n00bs are hated with a passion in thier circles. The term is usually used in Counterstrike servers and Battle.net, where many mouthbreathing "elite gamers" and internet tough-guys can be found.

      Normal player: hey, how do I beat (x) if I'm using (y)?
      "Elite" gamer: lololol ur a n00b u suk lolol pwned get sum skilz nub ***
      Normal player: Uhhh....what?

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
      Extreme lacking of funny.

      Uhh.. if you want a semi-serious response, the answer is that it varies. In the forums is could mean someone who's new and doesn't know how things work here. In game it could just mean you suck. In chat it could mean that your spelling/grammar is atrocious.

      Okay I dont apply to either of those really. Someone who sucks is someone who is REALLY BAD. When I first started playing FFR I was a noob in your definition (mine too). I thought it was like impossible to finish Secret Zombie Room and I died on Bonus Yoshi round and I got tons of averages and goods on Trip to the moon. But Im not like that anymore. I dont suck, Im not really good but I am decent.
      What 'sucks', is 'decent', or is 'really good' varies from person to person. I can tell you right now that you really suck at SM compared to myself (based on you're telling us about your scores). On the other hand, compared to people like Zagh or Shash I suck ass.

        Okay if you go to dictionary.com and search n00b here's what you get:
        well umm i got nothing so im gonna try the same thing on Wikepedia

        Okay Wikepedia deffenition:
        "
        A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself. The term is generally regarded as an insult, although in many cases more experienced/knowledgeable people use it in purposes of negative reinforcement, urging "newbies" to learn more about the field or area in question.

        Variant spellings, such as newb, noob biscuit, nub, nublet, noob, nooblet, foob, froob, nubzors, nubcake, noobtard, noobstain, nubumb, dumbnub, noobsausage, nubsauce and, in Leetspeak, n00b, t3h n00bzorz and ch00b are numerous and common in Internet use. The term newb itself is usually used to refer to a person who is new to the field in question, whereas noob is used as an insult. For example, in the internet show Pure Pwnage, the main character regularly says, "I pwn noobs," in this case, meaning he beats people of lower skill than himself. In World of Warcraft and most MMORPG's saying any variant of "noob" will earn the speaker an account ban. If it is said multiple times on multiple accounts on the same IP, the speaker will get an IP ban."

        wow thats alot of words for N00B i like "noobsausage" and "noobstain"
        but they forgot to add "noobcake"

            This is a critical thinking thread. It makes you think... critically. lol. Besides if I didn't put it in critical thinking then people wouldnt think and just say someone new or someone who sucks.

              A n00b is someone out of the loop. (e.g. everyone in this thread)

                A n00b is someone who puts their thread in the wrong forum. Btw if you ask if you're a n00b, most probably you are. Just a heads up.

                In other news, CT is dead.

                  A noob doesn't actually mean they retarded, sucks at life. It actually means, someone who try is new and trys to fit in, and makes alot of mistakes, but if you put it in a different way, ya there retarded, they suck at life, but be serious for once!

                              pwn = a mispelling of own
                              pwnd = past tense of pwn = owned

                                Seriously, this topic is very stupid.
                                There is no CT involved in this.
                                All ideas point toward the same meaning.
