Alright you older nations, I have identified a huge pet peeve of mine. New nations calling other new nations n00bs. And what's up with using zeroes instead of "o"s in noob? Seriously! How hard is it to type oo instead of 00? And when one nation that's new attacks an older nation and the new nation is ignored, what's up with that? As long as the new nation isn't god-modding it shouldn't be a problem right? And if a new nation were to declare war on an older one legitimately and the old nation ignores them, doesn't that just mean the new nation's troops march right on in and take over? Gaaah! I was just curious if you guys and girls have noticed similar gameplay occurring.

I R l337, U R n00b. I pwn j00!!!!!!!1!1!!!1!!!!!

I am more than n00b.

I am N008.

And I am proud.

Not all new nations are new to NS. n00b I believe is a form of leet. When a new nation attacks a well established one people usually utilize the almightily ignore cannon or one of the other variant ignore weapons and shields. The most effective ignore tactic has always just been ignoring the n00b.

Uh.. even though your nation is old, you don't have too many posts to be bitchin about n00bs

To me, if someone declares war on me, I don't reply because I don't RP. And if they think they win, I don't really care, because I will not hand over my nation, regardless of the circumstances.

Not all new nations are "n00bs". Many are simply new to NS. While there are some new nations that are annoying, there are others *coughsidefour* that simply want to contribute to the NS community.

A lot of nations are "side projects" of older nations, loking to try something new.

Any of you older players: I seem to have forgotten who conquered the regions of heaven and hell. It was quite infamous. Please refresh my memory.

That was unneccessary slander my friend. While I may not have many posts, it is simply because I choose not to post. I frequently browse the forums to keep tabs on those I wish to watch. Therefore, I have seen many examples of what I was talking about and thought that I could have an intelligent conversation with those here. Please do not say what you did, flaming is uncalled for.

With that out of the way

Don't get me wrong, there are many new nations here who are respectful, and sometimes it is the older nations acting worse than the new ones. For instance, a newer nation got nuked the other day, but he/she didn't complain about it, they just took it, asked for help, and moved on. That is the kind of role-playing I like to see. Such a thing is becoming rare, as can be seen by about half the posts on this thread.

I do and think the same thing, heh. Why? Ask anybody that has been in the top 20 or 30 numerous times (like me) how many times they have received telegrams from nations that have a population under 10 million saying I DECLARE WAR ON YOU!!!

At first it's irritating. Then after the 10th one or so, you stop replying to those idiots and ignore them. Then after the 100th one, you're STILL irritated that you get these moronic telegrams (along with the numerous join my region crap) and wish you wouldn't be in the top anymore.

Why bother acknowledging these n00bs? They make these n00b nations just to rile people, and they refuse to accept the responsibility & consequences of their actions because they don't do it with their main or real nation(s). They're cowards. Ignore them. Declaring war is stupid. It doesn't exist. Period.

Just to clarify, when I use the term n00bs, I refer to the young nations, not the players themselves. I should just call them cowards.

You should take a look at my archived thread Terrorist - n00b Parallels and Appeasement. :wink:

Very interesting read, but I was kind of surprised I didn't see this suggestion to combat these idiots -- just claim their "attacks" are their propoganda machine going crazy. It's another form of the ignore, but it deals with it in-character. And since the n00b isn't recognized as legitmate (or not taken seriously), it should work quite well. This sort of thing always happens in the real political world.

I by no way shape or form claim to be a "n00b," but i know compared to other nations that i am definatly not a veteran.

I am more than n00b.

I am N008.

And I am proud.

and this dill-hole just gives all us newish players a bad name.

I love these n00bs, they're funny, and keep me entertained personally. :lol:

I like how so many n00bs are constantly looking for affirmation and acceptance. Reminds me of me.

I love it how we send all the newbies to read all the stickies before we say they can RP

Although who ever reads the stickies? It's only the older nations that want the younger NS generation to be prepared :lol:
