Why was I called a "noob"?

[JJFZ3000]

I was playing a Megawealth on T. Map B (game type that allowed you to get money only through oil derricks) game when my opponent booyak8 told me to "get a grip noob"...

I was massing 30 rocketeers, when he attacked me with just 10 tanks (various types including IFVs). I immediately rushed my rocketeers towards his base with no patriots. In the end we both lost our bases but I still had a few pillboxes that he didn't find, after destroying his last IFVs with my 6 remaining rocketeers he surrendered.

You were called a n00b becase you played a game online. You don't actually have to be a n00b...

[Annihlator :D]

yep, sadly noob is a commonly misused and misunderstood term

Don't listen to such guys. they think they are alot, but in reality they are just cheap idiots. IMO, you're only a noob when you hang out the bastard. Just don't listen to such guys. One ear in, one ear out. like in this case, your opponent found out that he's the actual noob.

Since he didn't defend his base with AA even though you were massing rocketeers, I think your opponent was the noob.

It could happen, especially if you didn't get a chance to recon his barracks early on due to some circumstance.

But then again, that still sounds pretty dumb to let pass, even for a real n00b.:|

Ill call every second person i play calls me a noob Its like an online greeting nowadays, along with "fag" "asshole" "jew" "loser" etc etc.

I know I'm a noob cause I can rarely defend my base well, though I have to say I've gotten faster at building key structures(just not defenses) or units.

there are lots of people out there who think masing anything is noobish cause they can't beat what your massing(Rocketeers) unless they are well equipped, basically, it's just something to say that doesn't mean anything.

if you don't build correctly and he annhilates you he'll say:"OWNED! you suck N00b!"<- or something like that and if you build correctly, he'll say:"Only reason you pwned me was cause u massed rockies!! you still suck though!"

of something like that.


this all came from my experience is Empire Earth.

I have been called noob many times because i allow or play as France or Yuri. But i have learnt that the people are always the people who cant really play a real game because they starting to lose so they insult you. I just ignore its now days and you shouldn't care what they say.:)

[Statalyzer]

As far as disallowing opponents, France and Yuri don't belong in the same sentence together.
