What do you think defines a "noob"?

[Titan Buttons]

2 kinds of noob,
The newbie: Innocently uninformed. Truly new to the game or genre. They want to learn to kick ass the way the other people do. Sadly, it won't happen as quickly as you want it to and may cost you a few wins. Don't rage at them. they are truly trying to compete with basically a lobby full of experienced people.

The n00b: Despicable gaming scum. Incorporates every cheap tactic to win and piss you off. It's almost as if 4chan itself infested your lobby for the sole purpose of sadistic trolling.

This ^^ but instead of it being 4chan, since even the people from 4chan know how to troll and play a game, they are just parthetic losers who can't admitt to not being good at something that isn't all that important to begin with.

Noob is the original Sub-Zero.

OT: I define noob as "new or inexperienced" but some people use it as an insult. Generally the same people who use "gay" as an insult.

This also damn it you beat me to that joke.

I was actually beaten to that joke twice.

What's a noob?

Noob is defined by hatred and shadow powers.

I guess you can say he's been

Ninja'd.

You're gonna get quoted so many times for that definition.

+1 for possibly the most concise definitions of those two terms I've encountered.
