Noob [Neub]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(n.) A player who is new the game. An inexperienced player.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ad.) Inexperienced, New.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

**The proof of the word Noob meaning new player, please read Noob Vs. Newb**

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are two types of Noobs...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Stereotypical Noob - The regular Noob. Begs, scams, insults, may be annoying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Real Noob - The actual Noob. Nice, helps when he can. Does not scam, insult, or beg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noobs are commonly found around Runescape. They are the most common creatures of all. When you see one, you think it is the Stereotypical one, well after reading this, you will think differently about them and may understand why they are usually Stereotypical Noobs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The transformation from Real Noob to Stereotypical Noob is quick and very common. You will learn what causes it, how to stop it, and how to change a Noob back when it happens.

 

 

 

(For more information about the Transformation, See the post Transformation)

Well, to start, Noobs are Mammals. They are Omnivorous, meaning they will eat both meat and plants. Noob hobbies include fishing, woodcutting, firemaking, s

 

 

 

laying, and the odd hobby of collecting and keep items that they know nothing about or have no use for. They will commonly try to copy other players in the tasks they see them performing, such as mining, smithing, and other skills. When the Noob sees other players attempting to get items from players illegally, he will copy these players, thinking it is alright to do that, this makes the Noob change from a Noob to a scammer. When a Noob makes the change, he rarely goes back, but when he tries to go back, it is almost always too late, as he may be banned

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- = : Insults : = -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Noob is commonly a nice player, and will try to help out other players his/her level. Unfortunately, higher level players tend to make fun of the Noob, calling him a Noob and other variations on the word. As he doesn't know what this means, he will normally take it as an insult, and become bitter towards all high level players. When a good high level player tries to help out a Noob, the Noob will try to avoid him or even insult him, as he is used to being insulted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- = : Beggars : = -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the Noob may be good at heart, they are infamous for one thing... Begging. Begging is the art of continuously asking a player for items or money. As the Noob sees players begging, just like the scammers, he will attempt to mimic these beggars, thinking he can get items for free. Unfortunately, when a player does give a beggar an item or money, he will beg even more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- = : Leetspeak : = -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people misunderstand the language Leetspeak as the Noob language. It is really H@x0r language, or for most experienced players in other online games. Not everyone uses it, not everyone even understands it, but some players still use it. A common phrase is used that is the stereotypical Noob sentance. That sentance is Phr33 $+00ph Pl0x . The sentances is meant to mean Free Stuff Please . In Leetspeak, F would be replaced by Ph, as it makes the same sound. As for the other letters in Leetspeak, you make the symbol that looks most like the letter. Here is another example:

- = : Facts About The Noob : = -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are some things about Noobs that you can use to help you, and the Noob out.

-- Thormen --

 

 

 

The word 'noob' origins from the English word 'newcomer' (Ludan-(censor)-us Novus, mammal) which means someone who is new to the particular thing it is all about. In this case, Runescape.

 

 

 

The transformation of the word 'newcomer' to 'newbie' and, finally, to 'noob' has been a process that explains the above theory. Higher level players (Ludani Diutii, mammals) often called the newcomer 'newbie' or 'newb'. The newcomer did not know what this meant, so they used it as uncensored abusive language. The traditional noobish (censor) tongue has translated the vowels into the vowels they use and their pronunciation. This language also includes the words 1337 (pronounce: leet), and p00n4g (pronounce: pou-nage). The word 'noob' is often written as 'n0-©-0b'.

Good Noobs: Most loyal Noobs that work for cheap/free and help other players usually turn out to be strong successful players on this game from experience they got from working and also become mods for their helpfulness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bad Noobs: Noobs that are bitter because of higher level players making fun of them usually become very successful in total level to overcome that higher level, then rub it in their face. Worse is that they think they are the higher level player and do the same thing as what that higher level player did to them. It's never ending. These players become extremely bitter and eventually quit playing and right before they do so, they cause trouble or later, after deciding to quit, make a hobby of scamming and breaking rules.

After reading this, you most likely have gotten the point; Noobs are commonly mistreated and misunderstood. If you don't like the Stereotypical Noob, then help out the Real Noob. You know the difference now and what causes it. Hopefully you will now help out Noobs when you can and protect them from the Transformation.

lol i can post with ur account....

 

 

 

let me get u banned

 

 

 

jk

[stevester77]

Imo, it's pretty lame. His def.'s on "newb" vs. "noob" are way off.

[Poopingman]

Since theres no concrete definition of newb.....this whole "documentary" is worthless. Its all opinion.

[apinagez]

Your whole idea is wrong. :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Stereotypical Noob - The regular Noob. Begs, scams, insults, may be annoying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Real Noob - The actual Noob. Nice, helps when he can. Does not scam, insult, or beg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's really contradictory...if the regular noob is the stereotypical one, the "real" noob is a minority...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noob hobbies include fishing, woodcutting, firemaking, s

 

 

 

laying, and the odd hobby of collecting and keep items that they know nothing about or have no use for. They will commonly try to copy other players in the tasks they see them performing, such as mining, smithing, and other skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to the mining guild, then go to the fishing guild of the same world.

 

 

 

If you think mining is the non-noobish skill and fishing, woodcutting are the noobish ones, it means you don't feel confortable in the fishing enviroment, and feel on the mining one. This means you have a big chance of being the noob here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, higher level players tend to make fun of the Noob, calling him a Noob and other variations on the word.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you call a level 70 a high level player, then that's what's wrong with your documentary, because 70% of the level 70's think they are almighty and tend to act noobishly, wich means caling every player that's one level lower than him a noob.

 

 

 

However, again, I find it one of the most noobish things to judge other people by their combat level...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- = : Leetspeak : = -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you think leetspeak is actually "leet", you have serious problems.

 

 

 

See how many people at yanille bank (the leetest place in Rs imo) use leetspeak, then see how many use it on varrok.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Noobs: Most loyal Noobs that work for cheap/free and help other players usually turn out to be strong successful players on this game from experience they got from working and also become mods for their helpfulness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can't be serious.

 

 

 

Then you think newbs are there to work for you for free?

 

 

 

OMG!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DISCLAIMER: Nowdays, on Rs, noob means an annoying player and newb means an unexperienced player.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I made myself clear.

[honsou3]

Your whole idea is wrong. :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's not my idea

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you call a level 70 a high level player, then that's what's wrong with your documentary, because 70% of the level 70's think they are almighty and tend to act noobishly, wich means caling every player that's one level lower than him a noob.

 

 

 

However, again, I find it one of the most noobish things to judge other people by their combat level...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where does it say level 70's are high levels?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you think leetspeak is actually "leet", you have serious problems.

 

 

 

See how many people at yanille bank (the leetest place in Rs imo) use leetspeak, then see how many use it on varrok.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why would I even speak in yanille? theirs nobody there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can't be serious.

 

 

 

Then you think newbs are there to work for you for free?

 

 

 

OMG!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it doesn't say their for free labour it says thats what they will do

[Hobgoblin11]

#1. Sentence is spelt like that, sentence, not with an a.

 

 

 

#2. You are talking about noobs and newbs as one and the same. This is most definitely not the case, and so unless you can turn your topic round to clearly distinguish between the two, then this topic has no sense or meaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry to be harsh :lol:

[apinagez]

ok, i have beaten most of your points, now i'll beat the ones you have replyed to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's not my idea

 

 

 

Then why you posted it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where does it say level 70's are high levels?

 

 

 

I stabilished a paralell between a newbie, a level 70 (wich is in most cases the described noob) and a level 100, that tends to be a nice player.

 

 

 

If you were not able to figure that out...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why would I even speak in yanille? theirs nobody there

 

 

 

Yanille concentrates the biggest amount of nice, high leveled (not only in combat) and mature players, but if you don't wanna live with that, pick edgeville in a member server, seers in an empty world and maybe gnome stronghold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it doesn't say their for free labour it says thats what they will do

 

 

 

Then you find it "cool" to take an advantage on the less experienced players?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, reply now.

[Themonkey78]

Worst guide I ever read. Newb and noob defenatly arent the same thing, and crap guides just make more people ignorant :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guide also contridicts itself over and over :lol:

[hazardmaster]

Since theres no concrete definition of newb.....this whole "documentary" is worthless. Its all opinion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't have put it any better myself :D

[1unahtreiloh]

This pretty much sums it all up. But what about modern noobs?

[Dayking321]

Worst guide I ever read. Newb and noob defenatly arent the same thing, and crap guides just make more people ignorant :roll:

 

 

 

This guide also contridicts itself over and over :lol:

 

 

 

Pretty much (especially the bolded bit.) It's all pretty subjective. For me:

 

 

 

n00b (low-level) - A player who acts like a [beep], asks "free stuff pl0x," and is generally annoying. More extreme examples may scam.

 

 

 

n00b (med-high level) - Acts like a jerk to those who are only a few levels lower then them (ie: "GTFO level 64" or "lol u train skillz?") and tires to act powerful when they really aren't (A personal observation - I usually see these in the lv 50-80 area.) They'll occasionally idolize higher-level players, and call anyone that beats them a noob or a nerd.

 

 

 

newb - A new player, simple as that.

 

 

 

Since this is subjective, someone's going to disagree with me, but that's just IMO.

[blakdragon39]

It's kind of confusing really... noob and newb are different, and that is how we differentiate them here on Runescape. :P A newcomer =/= noob.

[Maximusa]

Sorry that opening post is nonsense and I got bored reading it. Its mostly false if not all of it.

 

 

 

My guide:

 

 

 

Newbie: Someone who is new to something.

 

 

 

Noob: Google "Chav" A Noob is like an 'E-Chav' except we call them noobs. Definition - Annoying, abusive, rude, people who need to make up for an small reproductive organ and brain, In many cases they are just children going through puberty though - etc.

[Racheya]

 

Unfortunately, higher level players tend to make fun of the Noob, calling him a Noob and other variations on the word.

However, again, I find it one of the most noobish things to judge other people by their combat level...

 

 

 

 

86% of statistics are made up 48% of the time.

 

 

 

Also this so called 'guide' is pretty useless. NOBODY USES SO CALLED 'LEET SPEAK' FFS. Noobs just usually use chat speak like wuu2 or spell things wrong, they don't take all the time to talk like... |-|3Ll0 1 @m l1|\|K
