Cant admit to defeat

Lou's summary is up there with my compilation of the infamous "Jebu and Server need to learn English
" thread on CoTs old forum right after Wildfire went kaboom.
See! I can suck my own dick too!

the best way to negate their "omg, wtf, newb, lagger" talk is to just not kill them

finish every game with a solid 0-10 and ppl will give u gg's out of pity, it works for me!

"newb" and "n00b" and whatever other variation has been around FAR longer than any type of l33t sp34k. I remember mudding back in '94 and seeing the term.

While I generally agree that anyone whom insults (seriously) after dying isn't all that good, it is frustrating to be hit by a luck shot, or have someone eat three blue bombs. People who whine about whiners need to do a little self-reflection. There's always the ?ignore player option.

What's truly annoying are kill macros. Honorable mention goes to "submarine1" who doesn't have a single kill macro, yet has two or three different death macros. A very wonderful player.

I was wondering about this too. I don't remember my first encounter with the word (probably not that far back), but I remember newbie used more lightly, e.g. "Newbie guide to HTML". In SS, it's more of a curse than anything else.

Earliest version of the jargon file I could find it in is from 1992:
