Trash Talk?

[Carnage]

Can some1 give an aspiring new player a run down on the trash talk?
I have seen "barney scum!" getting shot my way (all in good fun) but ummm I is confused... Am I ship dwelling arthropod? what do I say to this? what do the other Empires cannon fodder get called... I can normally dish it out when I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!!
I don't understand...

NC = Smurf.
TR = Your superiors, you dirty little barne... "cough" I mean, Elmo.

[Kran De Loy]

What people usually call...

TR = Elmos, Fascists, Tyrants, All-around- Jerks.
NC = Smurfs, Hicks, Hill-billies.
VS = Barneys, Smartypants, Better than Me, Fishheads.

[Kezz]

Barney the Purple Dinosaur* = VS. That's what's going on with "Barney"

*No, no link. Not gonna. I'd have to shoot myself. And that's your job (in-game).

[Doxy]

Guess TR could also be called Commies and NC Na'vis(Avatar) =]

It helps to read up on the lore on the planetside 2 site, that way you can really get your hackles up about everyone who doesn't think the same way you do. The basic stereotypes have already been mentioned. Just be creative and let the hate flow.

Why does everyone always pull out a load of words tht are never used in these things?

We've only ever really had 4 words

NC = Smurfs
TR = Elmos
VS = Barneys or fishheads

That's surely the de facto name.... their helmets look like fish

[roastduck]

Agreed. I've never heard "fishheads" until just now

[Redshift]

must be a European thing then, :P

[Rabb]

I'm a werner player and never heard fishheads before

[Canaris]

fishheads was used, just rarely as Barnies was the prefered term that or "lol the VS are attacking, send half the boys home"

[FastAndFree]

I always used fish or fishhead before I joined the best faction. Just seemed more imaginative than barney.
I also think smurf and elmo are kinda weak, but alas no alternatives took off there

I call NC- Second rate rebels, Terrorists, Junk yard dogs(since they take everyone's stuff to salvage) and hobos.

VS- Hippies, Jihads, Alien's alter boys, Crap-saders(instead of crusaders and how they sadistically love their alien overlords tentacles.) Cattle(Since they are just experiments for aliens to sodomize them.)

TR- Peace loving Botzi's (We take orders like robots and we are like Nazi's),Tyrants, Pawns, Tools, Tar-heads(instead of jarheads), Impdogs(instead of devildogs).
