g2g, real life happened

"g2g, real life happened" - thanks to Avicile Mohaili for capturing this one.

Yeap, that's exactly what happened to me during the last two days. I've been hiking around black lakes with cypresses sticking up from the water their weird roots and no people anywhere around for miles, eating still slightly astringent fruits from wild persimmon trees in the middle of a sandy pine forest, watching gulls at the ocean's shore and climbing 1 million year old river bank cliffs. This kind of stuff tends to happen when you have a map, a car, a big open country and don't have planned routes and fixed schedules. My kind of travel :-) Which is actually possible to replicate in Runescape at some degree.

Anyway, I am back.

And one more link today is to an awesome article about noobs from the author of the phrase which started this post. Enjoy!

Define a Nub

Tiz is writing about definition of a Nub (Noob) and how the meaning of this word has shifted.

It reminds me a great movie called "Donny Brasco", where Johnny Depp (Donny) was explaining to FBI agents what is the meaning of a phase "forget about it".

Newbs and Noobs

Classification of newbs and noobs from Steve and suggestions on how to deal with situations when you are called one. And don't say it does not relate to you - everybody is called "noob" from time to time. From my experience frequency of me being called "noob" within the game hasn't changed at all with levels gained.

English to Noob Language Translator

One of a kind translator from English to Noob language. or as they say "ONE??????? OMG WTF LOL OF A KIND TRANSLA2R FROM ANGLISH 2 NOB LANGUAEG"

Enjoy!

The Noob Protector

I like this little story about Carralpha, The Noob Protector. It is seemingly simple, but if you just think about it, wouldn't you love to proudly wear this purple cape with a smiley face on a back? Wouldn't you?

Noobs in Runescape

Research on F2P 'noobs' population from Tiz Yeo, leader of Blessings clan.

I'd like to add my own story to it as well. Being 99 combat and 1803 total, I am rarely called 'noob', but I do get my share anyway :-) There are two scenarios, which repeat over and over again:
1. I am wearing my untrimmed Thieving cape. Someone asks me to show the emote. I comply, then the reaction follows: "Lame emote, noob". Makes me laugh every time :-)
2. I am cooking at Rogue's Den. Someone with lvl 90-100 combat suddenly says: "Look at Vaskor's highscores. Look at his total." I say: "Thanks". Then response follows: "I'll own you every time in wildy, noob!" Duh, do I care?..

Concerning Noobs.

Being noob is not easy! Check out this very nice and touching article. I agree with the author, even if you are low level, behave mature and be polite and people will be glad to help you out.
