A vet is someone who has no respect in real life so has to gain it in a 2d spaceship game.

[Sting]

I would say the amount of years + experience. That is how they determine it sports.

[Randedl]

How do you prove vet-ness, eh?

-When a vet loses at elim, they were never trying anyways.
-When a vet wins at elim, it was easy as pie.
-Whenever a vet dies, they respond in laughter, apparently vets think it's funny when they die.
-Or, whenever a vet dies, they become tired and begin to yawn, alot. On average 1 per death.
-Or even, whenever a vet dies, they are apparently "newbed". They in fact state that a player "lesser" than them has successfully killed them, and no matter how many times more the "newb" kills the "vet", it is still always "newbed".
-Vets never have numbers, underscores, or other symbols in their names.
-Vets never communicate with players below their skill level outside of "ez", "newbed", "racial slur", etc*
-Part B to the said above: you must be lonely.

I'm not saying that players who have been around the game for a while can't be nice or whatever, I've met my share of cool people. But generally, the players who call themselves "vets" fall into one of those actions if not more or all.

if this is true, destroy is the residing ultra-super-perfecto-vet.

ps. i think the word "vet" is a silly word - you either respect somebody or you don't.

[apt]

a veteran is someone who understands the game as well as me. and not many people do because i am the greatest, i am the apt. 433R

They are called wannabes.

edit: And I also agree practically with everything what Dameon said.

[manners man]

some1 who kicks my ass = vet for me...

[Dameon Angell]

.. whatever I said about the underscore names ..

What about Pure_luck?.

There's always exceptions to rules. I think he owns the name w/o an underscore anyways. Just like I own Dameon Angel with 1 L instead of 2. Just his preference of underscoreage.

ROMES!! IS THAT YOU?

hey poophie <3

[Underground]

I just noticed you didnt try dueling for sure ...

[Twerp]

Well, seriously now. By definition a Veteran is someone who sucessfully survived a war or some sort of military thing. I'm not 100% sure if this can officially apply in civillian activities, but anyways.

I survived zombies, does that count?

It's a war between the undead and the humans ^_^

Fuck you guys, you are all wrong - a vet is someone that knows who I am.
