Indeed its funny.

I voted the 3rd option. First vote too how cool.

If someone just joined they could be the worlds smartest man they just need time to learn we all did, a noob is someone who thinks they cna play the game or better than they actually can.

Which is 90% of the ppl who come on the forum bragging.

Honours and Awards

Mostly I think it's used as a derogatory way to refer to people who are inept, annoying or generally moronic.

A newbie is someone who is genuinely new to the game. The two terms aren't to be confused, I suppose.

hmmm not really, the noobs are those who send msgs full of insults when you attack them, they say they will bring you down, and considering you are often more than 100x bigger than them.. :lol: :lol:
They also menace you to send big players (who are either in your alliance, or people they dont even know) to mass crap out of you.
That's noobs :D

A Noob to me is someone who just hasnt learnt the ins and outs of the game yet, they just need time to learn and a teacher.
