When is a newbie not a newbie anymore?

[luke]

You will ALWAYS be a newbie to someone!

But, when you stop asking if you are, then your probably not.

[Dayspring]

You're not a newbie when-

a) You're willing to slog through 20 feet of deep swamp to flank the other team and damn near lose a shoe(did it)

b) You're willing to swim through a river to flank the other team (did it)

c) When you're willing to climb 20 feet out of the top of a structure to avoid "The Angel of Death" in a scenario game (seen it)

d) When you have sense enough to remain quiet if it's just you versus 5 guys walking by

e) When you have a working knowledge of the game enough to coordinate other players in effective defense or offense.

Hey Dayspring, I saw an article on that scenario game. I feel sorry for that kid who climbed down to avoid Death.

You're not a newb when you're shooting semi and people keep asking you if your gun is full-auto.

I tell ppl they're past the newbie stage when they see me charging and stand their ground and shoot back.... most newbs curl up and put a arm up or something to prepare for hte barage...

When you finance your new gun and gain a $1,000 instant credit at the local shop for future toys.

I have already proclaimed myself a forever newbie. I think no matter how good you are you always have so much to learn and grow. There is always someone better at something. If I had pick a test for the normal definition?
1. When the game starts you move you don't hide.
2. You answer more questions than you ask.
3. You feel comfortable at the field.

you are not a newbie when

1. you arent afrid to scream profanitys at the other team.
2. when people know you at the feild.
3. when you give a pod of paint to the poor 10 year old who spilled all his paint.
4. when you wait for the ref check you before callin your self out if you cant see the mark.
5. when you get mad that you forgot to charge your gun the night before.
6. when you scream " get out of there you newb , i got you , dont make me shot you again , get out get out!!!"
7. when you cant remember where on the feild you left your pods , because you have to find three at least.
8. when you stop thinkin that an 18 inch barrel would be tight.
when you stop thinkin that my Angel is a spyder

Oh, you have a spyder? I just had to do that.

I haven't had much game experience but when it comes to equipment I'm no newb. 3rd game this weekend. I'm stoked.

I love that article- if for no other reason than my team has a pic in it

I recently turned from newbie to the next level(8 months of playing around 30 rec games)I think the only one who can tell you if you are no a newbie anymore is YOU. If you can look at yourself one day and get a feeling that you learned a lot and nobody is around you trying to give you slack anymore then you are no longer a newbie. When your teamates no longer underestimate you and start depending on you to do your job. You have have a feeling for it. You should feel like you'v just finished something.

I like Miscue's Bunker Beats...but be forewarned Miscue, when that bunker's knockin' it could be me and and wingman rushing you. I paint the bunker, he paints the top of your head...Had it happen to me a few times...A Jerk squeege broke in my barrel and left me to try to get it clear. NOT FUN.

[ZSigErik]

For me, not being a newb was the day that I was playing a pick-up rec game at a feild near my house, and this kid I knew said to me 'How do you look so calm?'. I will never forget that. You can always tell who isnt a newb just by the look I guess(as previously stated). Another question which I was asked was by another guy I knew. He asked me 'At what point did you stop sucking?'. Mind you this was after a three man bunker rush and I took out all three people including him(*btw, they all rushed same side *).

when your not a newbi hmmmm MY REASONS!

1.When u stop in teh middle of a game to tell yoru friend a joke u remebered.(i did) the kid next to me looked at me liek i was crazy funy ****

2.When you know your hit u call your self out when u not sure u call paint check.

3 When u dont have problems with answering stupid questions

4 When u dont call newbies newbies to their face and make fun of them! that just makes u a newbi ******* with pimped gun thats prolly not yours/happened to me all i wanted to do was turn around and shoot the *******

5 When u talk to ref while playing its my weakness
