The Word "Noob"

[Captain Jason]

You did the right thing, especially since I would've probably gotten all of the Thralls to attack him at once. Your way probably works better

[Captain Lightflame]

ok the truth of the matter is i was in gold room in toromenta for 3 days straigh i was on a very quiet server when these rude players came asking constently to crew them when i want to be alone and then they start shooting at all the kills i was making so then the skull chest came and they said wow they got some swords famed and whatever i payed no heed to them then they said your a noob your a noob and i said yopur mother is calling u ur late for dinner! then i hit all the creatures at once and i ran fast up the hill and they all got passed down and they need tonics and i said that what u get for calling me now im not answering u help cry.

[Pirate Guy]

Lightflame, the thing is if someone is calling you a noob, don't respond. They're just bullies. If you responded they get what they want and they win.

Also, I have called people noobs before. Not in a bad way though. If I'm friends with someone and they get knocked out or something I can call them a noob and they will laugh about it. I think that if you're friends then it's ok.

[The Skirata Clan]

I use the term Noob with friends and never in an insulting way.

[Hookshot]

Out smarting is a mature, yet sly, sneaky, and unexpectedly hilarious way to make people think about what they've said. Is it not funny to the rest of you guys that so many people call others "noobs" but almost almost always are a level 5 basic speedchat? I'm sorry but if you're going to make fun of me, please have some facts to back it up. Haha. End rant.

Well at least we have common sense if that narrows it down. You may not know if they are actually offending you though. Noob = new. Depends on how its used.

[Hookshot]

Well sadly most times it's either used offensively or taken offensively so not sure (unless you aren't on abassa :P) that there is a "joking" manner of the word. But I understand, it's like calling someone a name in real life. You need to be sure you're joking because the person you're name-calling to just might take the "slang" or "hurtful words" to heart and you can get in real trouble for that sort of thing. It's abuse. And when you're on pirates and someone is name calling like that, saying you don't get dates, whether it's serious or not... ITS A FORM OF CYBER-BULLYING! so that's why I don't use the term "noob" no matter how it's used.

[Pirate Guy]

Aye Hookshot. If RL if you call your best friend a name, they will laugh about it. If you go up to a random stranger and say the name, it will be considered an offense.

[Olgarlenn]

I just really don't care much about an just laugh at those people they have nothing else to do but call people noobs behind a computer screen. I dont mind being callled a noob it doesn't really hurt but thats just me

[Pirate Guy]

I don't really care about being called a noob. But, when I get flooded with NOOB! especially on my 50, that's when it gets annoying. I play the game to have fun, not be attacked by trolls.

[Hookshot]

Exactly mate. And this is what I based my guild off of, the fact that this is a game. And what are we paying to do? Get bullied by people who don't know what theyre taking about? No, we pay to play and have fun with people who we want to share our free time with. I'm sorry, but the people who are making fun of others in this manner need to knock it off. It's not what I (usually) pay for.

[Pirate Guy]

Aye Hookshot, I think that people need to realize that they're are making this game worse for everyone else by doing this.

[James Sunsteel]

In my opinion, you did the right thing. Also, i've never reported someone because my friend told me if you report someone, YOU get banned too. Once I was in cursed caverns I just wanting to lvl grenades and this guy comes up and says: "sup noob" I replied by saying "Please don't call me that, I just want to level grenades." He kept calling me noob and I got annoyed. So I say "I will report you" I use that as a threat. He said "I dont care" s0 I said "How about we lower the vilonce and PvP" He said okay and I kicked the daylights out of him and he kept calling me noob so I left the server. Please tell me if reporting is safe. P.S. The server Galaira is a bad server to go to to level stuff because most ppl r mean. That might not apply to you.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

And from then on, POTCO realized that the word "n00b" was bad and the banned. Everyone lived piraty ever after.

So wish that was tue

[Pirate Guy]

Same here Davy, they really should do that.
