BLOG - Hook – 1/2/07
"NOOBs", "NOOBIEs", "NUBEEs", NEWBIEs, Etc.! LOLThese labels (above) seem to be one of the popular names that get flung at other players online over the years. They are
also very popular to use against another player just to try to make them angry or to make them lose their cool. If a
normally great UT player is having a bad UT day for example, these names get flung at them also! I am sure most of us
have been called this name at least once if not many times over the years. I have been, LOL, even by Newbies themselves.
It seems that they were trying to pin the label on me (or anybody else for that matter) just to shake it off of their
own tail! Even though I was playing pretty well & have been playing since about 1999-2000. I have been called a Newbie
even though I had a much higher score than the one calling me that name LOL. One popular phrase that some players (like
the one I just mention above did) Bind to a key is: "I can tell by the way you are playing that You Are a NOOB!" So you
can see that it has become a real Nasty habit for some players! It’s GETTING REAL OLD! It also seems to be sort of a
"cure-all" name to call another player just to belittle them. This is Really a Shame! ALL of the players of UT or any
game were ALL Newbies to start with! It is NOT a bad thing at all! In Fact, it is a GREAT thing indeed to have Newbies
play this Great Game! I myself WELCOME Any & ALL Newbies to play this game & Learn it well. I try to Help them! These
"New" players are what keeps this Old Game going & keeps it Young! The New players will Become Old, well trained
opponents in time! YES!!! We NEED More Newbies, especially now more than ever to keep UT99 alive! Instead of name
calling & shunning these new players, Welcome them into our Great Game! Give them some tips & Help them to become better players so you will always have new & good players to play with & against in the future! I am very sure this is how Most of the current UT players got their start also. You learned to play UT well over time & became good players Over Time!
NOT over night! So BE a Great Player & don't use the word Newbie anymore! It is getting to be REAL LAME when people do
use it. There are some servers that will KICK YOU if you call someone a Newbie! (FOR REAL!!!) Lets get with these
servers & start a New Wave going through UT server land. Newbies are NOT bad, They are Great! (Oh & they can make you
look good also LOL)
Next Up – Servers that are NOT supporting the game! – They are destroying UT! _________________ {xCBx}Hook (Site Administrator)
