The Modern Day 'Noobie'

( Idk if it would go here or to storys. It's more of a test than a story though, so i'm not sure. )

How many times do you use the word "Noob". That question poped into my head one time. I asked myself, "What even is a Noob?". So, I desided to find that out. I created a new account so it would be basic, and I started. I would like you to meet, Freebooter.

FreeBooter is a level 2 pirate, with NO idea whats going on. I go onto him and take pictures of what people do to him for being a "Noob". Some people are nice, some will stand there and call me names. I will post pictures of the so called " Adventures " I have with him, so you can see what it's like to be a "Noob".

This is his invantory, nothing special about it. Just 33 Rusty Cutlasses and a Heavy Sword. Don't belive me?

Ya, he's somewhat nooby. But thats what we want. So, here is the first page of his Adventures. Also, yes Shamus is talking to me when he says FreeBooter.

( Ya, it's small ik. I'ma try to make it bigger next time. )

I hope this Exparemant will help everyone see what is a "Nooby", and maybe even give you a new idea on what POTCO is about ;).

"nooby" to me is just the lack of knowledge in the game haha

Hey this is a good idea!

Interesting experiment. Keep us informed on what happens to this "noob" that you have made. It'll be interesting to see how a noob is treated differently from a bigger pirate.

Lol, this could be really funny. :P Some minor spelling mistakes, but there's no Grammar Police around to stop you. ;) Anyways, be sure to post lots more screenshots. Your inventory is awesome! :D

A plain trip to Tortuga Andaba proved to be a littttle harder than normal when someone wanted me to join there guild. The thing about the broadswords is that before he asked me he was jumping around with a broadsword trying to act cool.[

And yes, I do mess around with people sometimes. My best one was...

"Join my guild!"
"what a guild? Is it a type of sandwich? " No it's not a sandwich..." " Is it a golf club?" "NO!!! It's not a golf club or a sandwich!!!" 5 mins later... "Why didn't you join?" I'm not hungry right now, maybe later"

P.S. If you ever see someone in Andaba Tortuga that looks like the guy on the title, make sure to tell me hi :D

Lol, this is hilarious! You should show us what happens when noobs ask for help on quests.

Hey! You can try it yourself! You don't even need a new account! In fact, you can do it on Davy! XD

However, this idea is brilliant. Its like a "reality" TV show that isn't scripted. XD

I'm going to try that... LOL!!

LOL this is funny, keep it up.

Well I am shocked no one called you a "noob" yet in the chat. I love the pictures! Keep them coming!

I'm on Free right now. I just got Trolled by about 5 people xD. It was funny to see how much they thought I was a noob after seeing.

1: Someone kill himself with a Grenade

2: Someone kill himself with a FIRE grenade

3: A Voodoo staff with a so called "Magic red fire cloud"

It's really sad to see people be this mean to new players.

Why would they do this?

I'm thinking of launching an anti-troll campaign against them. it REALLY upsets me and its really bad for POTCO.

And I thought this was a family-based game. Grr, I don't like Abassa when they do that.

wow I noticed on one of my little little little pirate that people treat me differently... maybe if they spent 5 minutes to get to know a person they would realize that just because they haven't been playing very long doesn't mean they aren't good people and you never know if that "noob" actually has another account filled with fully mastered pirates (just an example) I guess my point is don't bash the "noobs be their friends and help them out!

I remember when I was a noob. Everyone I tried to talk to always said 'Go away noob!'
