How to properly be a n00b (Humor Thread)

Welcome to 'How to Properly Be a n00b', a guide on how to become arrogant, idiotic, and be out of realistic proportions! This guide will start your first paths towards idiocy, and the annoyance of others. Read this carefully, and study hard. If you understand, it's quite easy to screw other people's threads over.
Here are some vital tips on being a n00b:

1. N00b and Newbie is different. Newbie is someone new, but not stupid. A n00b is someone new and stupid. Someone who has been around long enough and is annoying is just annoying.

2. Use lots of smilies in content in very serious RPs. This will make it look less important, and therefore make people want to RP with you less. Remember, you're job is to screw people over.

3. Threaten the World over and over again, most perferably the UN, and for best results, do it alone. This will waste bandwidth, and piss the people off when the find out that because of your idiotic rants, they won't be able to go on the forums due to technical errors.

4. Ignore people who don't agree with you. People who don't think like you think rationally, a word you're NOT supposed to be familiar with. Remember, you're a n00b!

5. Godmode all the time! This is really easy. When someone's not looking, bam! Godmode them and call them a skank if they say you're godmoding. You're only supposed to godmode, not admit it.

6. Have armies larger than your population. This lets people know that you're a complete n00b, and make sure you've got things that are entirely out of realism. Is Pizza Delivery your best asset? Then say you're the world's leading Arms Manufacturer and that you have a 1 billion man army!

7. Spell things inkorrectly becuse speling is 4 propr rpers. This way, people will know you have spelling problems, and if you don't, then its not too late!

8. Piss people off for no apparent reason. When they're having an important RP, smack them in the face with a plate full of n00biness. That way, they'll know you mean business.

9. Always use LOL!!1 and make lots of mistakes. Fire nukes all the time and never, ever take a loss!

10. Take over other people's things for them! Say what happened to them, giving them no respond whatsoever, and even better, say your enemy's (or ally's if you want to take it that far) forces are obliterated by an invincible guy!

11. Get there instantly, without any explanation. Who wants to explain when you can just deny their 'logic'?

12. Fuss alot and put anyone who doesn't like your Role Playing on your ignore list forever! That way, yo'll never have to stick up with their realism again.

13. Complain about them cheating. If you lose at something, it's not because they have more 'experience' or is more 'skilled', but it's because they cheat! Call them cheaters!

14. Try and control all the aspects in an RP thread without ever actually setting rules in any of your posts!

15. Remember, making a flame thread is a great way to bother people and to get your ass banned!

16. Remember that in a war, your troops can relocate in only a single post! Only for you, though, because of you're n00bness!

17. Become angry in-content for something someone out of content said to you! Remember you're a n00b, proper etiquette is something you shouldn't be familiar with!

18. Hate Past tech? Hate Star Wars? Then you don't have to play by the rules! If you want to join, then join and play with whatever tech you want! Playing a roman empire rp? Then use giant lasers to kick roman ass! Playing Babylon 5? Then use Jedi! Remember, you're a n00b, so you think rules are for losers!

19. N00bs have a special vision. They see things different on their monitor/tv screen/psychic powers/bathtub. When they 'Closed', they see actually see 'We want you to join and screw us up', the invitation is not a problem! Learn to prefect this vision!

20. Someone selling a storefront? No action, right? That's right! Stir is up by nuking it! It'll get the party going!

Note Some side effects of following these directions may include Getting ganged up on, Getting ignored, Getting Warned by the Moderators, Getting Deleted by the Moderators, Getting spammed telegram-style and getting yelled at!

Remember, you're the n00b, so have fun ruining other people's experience with your lack of equity! Have fun!

Thanks to Laskon for tips 14-16. And imported_illior for tips 19 and 20.

OOC: No doubt this is a Humor thread, and I've gathered the things most godmoders and n00bs would do. If this offends anyone, then I'm sorry. I used to do quite a number on that list as well. If there is anymore I should add-on, then please tell me so I can do so.

But you forgot to add:

How many times have we read some poorly-spelled post about how some n00b is attacking (fill in any other nation name here) because of an OOC post made on another forum (or IRC)?

Now... You forgot using "all-tech" and "Post-Future Tech"
Having cyborgs with lasers fighting alongside men with crossbows is a staple of the n00b.
And always be farther along technologically then your opponent.

Failed parody.

Why? Because this just proves all the stereotypes currently floating around in International Incidents. You know, this thread is so bad I can write volumes about it in some horrible blog nobody reads so I'll do it here, and I'll summarize why this thread's so bad.

First of all, the stereotype n00b you have described isn't a typical n00b. Most of these accounts are gimmicks by old players who left or banned players to annoy us. A real n00b just writes bad threads with lots of godmodding. Hell, it doesn't take a scientific analysis to figure out that this:
Example post #1
:sniper: :sniper: :sniper: DIE FUCKAZ!!!111
Is obviously fake. Fake I say? Yes, because these people aren't roleplayers. They're just provoking a reaction, and a reaction is what they get by starting such a thread like this. They crave attention, and I bet they wet their pants whenever we get a "DONT FEED THE NOOBS" thread posting by some angry II user. I understand people dislike them, but vote a thread 0 and move on. Threads like this parody or satire are not parody, comedy or satire. This is drama.

But what makes this thread so damn bad?

Simple questions demand simple answers. The image created by our esteemed satirist who wrote this thread doesn't know what a true n00b is. Examples are legion, but in case you don't know, let me give you a truly obnoxious one.
Example post #2
n00b 1: we declare war on nation A. hes in our region and we hate him thats why we attack him.
Example post #3
Player 1: Why attack him? (in a nice diplomatic outfit)
Example post #4
n00b 1: becuz hes an idiot and we hate him he violated our waters. ooc he kicked me at school lol im being bullied by him daily :(
Example post #5
Player 1: OOC: You cannt declare war because of OOC reasons because blah blah blah
Example post #5
n00b 1: stfu i can post whatever i want k im fighting ic i bomb his capital.And now you are asking, what is exactly the difference? The difference between this n00b and the randomly spamming gimmick is that number two has a clear intention of starting a roleplay, regardless of the (unwritten) rules of NationStates. The first doesn't have it, merely anger us and to spam the boards. Being a n00b doesn't mean you've registered in 2005. I know plenty of players from 2003, 2004 and even 2002 who know nothing when it comes to roleplaying.

Don't follow the obvious stereotypes, and boycott threads like these the attention seeking n00bs love to see.

Holy Panooly, you have a point, but you don't seem to realise that even deliberate bad RPing to gain a response is still RPing. Sure, it will never get very far, and it will probably be ignored by just about every decent RPer who reads it, but it is by definition RPing. In the same way, a fake Rolex watch (par exemple) is still a watch, even if it is not actually of the quality manufacturer it claims to be made by.

But I have to agree that while an entertaining read, this thread may well be glamourising n00bishness for the n00bs who read it.

Holy Panooly, this is for fun. Like RPing. If you're gonna complain about my apporach to texted (I doubt that's a word, and if it is, don't prove me wrong) comedy, why waste your talking about how unfunny it is and actually use your infinite wisdom by helping New Role Players get better. Yes, some will find this amusing, some won't, but not everyone is the same. Or else we'd all be seeing 'I genocide thes guys!' threads everyone.

Oh wait, we already do. Never mind.

Tips on how to be a complete and utter ass I think they call it a N00B:

1. Say shit randomly that makes no sense in the RP. Example: Ancient RP thread Romans versus Celts your Romans. "My Flying unicorn prances in the meadow while crazy little elves run around crying and screaming over who gets to fuck Sleeping Beauty when she bites the apple." Remember your a n00b anything goes.

2. RP that an unbeatable flying skeleton with skin walked 7 miles to eat and apple that would make him powerful enough to fly. > This made no sense what-so-ever but that's exactly the point don't listen to the rules.

3. Your a n00b so repeatedly curse out the moderators and make threads on how gay they are untill u get deleted. After your deleted just to be an ass create a new country with a different e-mail address and curse them out again untill they declare war and kik your ass. Hey your a n00b.

4. on a serious RP repetively make OOC posts like "Dude i just layed a wet fart." YOUR A n00B.

5. Be such an ass that you RP in a closed RP that your no even in.

6. Say the Hulk,Spider-Man,Captain America,Batman,All of the freaky ass X-Men.and the WWE are in your army just so you can kick ass. And hey to spice it up throw in the Fantastic 4 because "It's Clobberin Time!!!!!"

7. Repetively make bullshit threads such as an all-time classic. WAR!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thread where you declare war on everyone.

8. Continuously make one-line posts that ticks everyone off.

9. Make a thread on "How To Be A N00b."

10. Scream constently I'M NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE BITCH. just because you know how to type it.

11. Say that Piper,Preu,Paige,and Phoebe the 4 Charmed witches from CHARMED did a spell from the book of shadows to make you invincible.

12. Type randomly dumb letters and numbers like this: dosuigfasvuioyrq89t7g3589567bnrenhhyunioybl ,jkdkhkgjybilgyufndl.

13. Make a Finding Nemo RP.

Come to think of it I have had a kinda a few n00b ideas of myself that I want to do, but it seems unlikely to have the right music for it.

Since Kjata is evil and all, the people are desperate, mad, crazy, and all other things. One of my general concept ideas, was basically a punk rocker type. Dressed in black and had spiked collar and jacket. My original idea was to call him General 'Blitz' Krieg. His standard forces were totally psychological warfare equipped. Blasting death metal and other chaotic songs.

Very fast and tons of ammo equipped speedy cars and tanks. With loud speakers blasting the music all across the battlefield. It would whip his troops into a frenzy and drown out commands of the enemy, not to mention confusing the heck out of them when they are encircled.

Was kinda a n00b idea, but I am still working the kinks out of it. You need to do this kinda thing on IRC. Have a midi or something streaming across so you can play with a little more fun.

Now no one should go out and create a group of crazy generals or one's that like blasting death metal or an anthem for a main thing...it's just kinda stupid unless there is no doubt you WILL win. :P

I still doubt that you, alone will beat everything, kill everyone and make them wait their turn to fight you and LOSE, is anything above n00bness. Now if you could do something like rape Zelda, and produce evil Gannon/Zelda magic monsters and rip the flesh from Link's bones and then destroy the land and become the evil overlord...ok! Though since you put that you WILL win and how you have asked for things not to be complex so you could do it faster....well....it means you will have all the fun and the rest will watch on their butts.

well there are limited characters, if you can think of other tell me. Also Im willling to let Link die at one stage (Because, If you know Zelda then you know that some how he failed/did not appear because the gods flooded the land)
