Or people who like to follow you around shooting their gun... at absolutly nothing at all. May as well carry a big sign saying "throw grenades this way".

I don't mind noobs, if they ask something i'm usually glad to help, if i'm really buissy i'll just say i can't help'm or annything. Real noobs are fine in my book, everyone is a noob to something sometime.

but smacktards, now thats a different story... idiots who ask the same things over and over, never learn what to do, make the same mistakes all the time, argues whit everyone esp those whose played a game longer then them... I hate those guys, they usually end up as llamas and TK's... i don't care much for those and generally just ignore them.

I forgot about these people... I always end up turning around and looking behind me to see what the hell he's shooting at (b/c the one time I don't will be the one time someone actually does sneak up behind us).

Ain't that the truth.

You're like "plant the fucking bomb you idiot." Then he'll run out the double doors and get killed. You know you have to go get the bomb but...

Everyones definition of noobs are different... for instance in WC3 you can be 300-100 and if someone better beats you they call you a noob. I try to treat noobs with respect b/c i never liked when I was picked on and rediculed as a noob.

I prefer to treat everyone the same.

However, sometimes that is very difficult.

I treat everyone the same.
The only thing is, the term 'n00b' is overly used with different meanings.
For example, I was playing Counter-Strike a while back, and I joined a bot server (ten bots versus however many players join the Terrorist team), and a 'rebel' if you will, joined the bot team. Of course, we learned where he camped, and killed him plenty of times. Anyway, one round, I killed him before he was able to get to his regular camping place... And he lashed out and called us all 'n00bs' even though his score was something like... Seven and fifteen, and my score was approximately thirty and three, (kills/deaths for those who didn't know).
If a person is a 'n00b to a game, I try to help them as much as possible. If a person is a 'n00b' too something that requires knowledge of that specific thing (ie. a website) I don't help them unless they ask. If they say "Oooh, I'm a n00b.. Treat me with respect!' then I don't really care, but if they say "Um... I need help, I'm kind of a n00b to this." Then I try to help them.
I hate it when people are 'n00bs' and try to act cool.

That is what I was thinking of. n00bs wasn't really the correct word. Damn I'm a n00b
