Curious, I do the same thing (use another name in game)

But, being the postion you are, do you admit to who you are or let them get on with it.

I guess in a way, its kinda fun them not knowing....

Make a pass but it gets intercepted(happens easlily on small maps + many players), get called a noob...
Walk/Pass/Shoot it in cuz the enemy keeper left the goal, get called a noob...

One guy chewed me out cuz I managed a goal with the pass shot(He was right on my arse, not much choice, v/o wasn't specified either) then called it the noob cannon(last I knew, the noob cannon was a quick click of reg then volley it)

join a team, then dont give shit. or dont join a team, and still dont give a shit.

same for clanners using smurfs, call me what you want, i dont give a shit.

i am a n00b yet no one tells me that (except khushdi [gay])
if u get called a noob then you should say not a word and work on your game
if u leave net after spawning there u r either fuckin around and dont care or u just nOObie and dont kno the rules
when i call sumone a noob (often) i just kidding and so tell me to fuck off and i will do as u wish

i just go on playing and do my thing, cuz i guess i know better what i do than they...
mainly i use another name to avoid answering when 1.7 comes out 10 times every match and other boring questions, they just wont let me play and consider this as a chatroom as soon as i join

If you call someone a N00b, wether they are or not, instead of spamming them to death and banning them, you should just tell them what they did wrong and try to help them overcome it.

I try ... and earn: "STFU n00b!!!!11"

The more people that get shouted at for being a noob is the less chance that they'll come back and keep this mod going.
As it is, most nights there's only 50-60 people playing and it's getting harder to get enough people for a game.

We might want to actually help these guys instead of criticizing and calling them noobs.

( I know, I know... I'm a noob)

can i point outone large fact, everyone has to start playing at some time so surely at some time everyone is a n00b, the fact is i have played a few times (whenever FC lets me play) and am still not very good, yet i don not get called a n00b very often. now is everyone getting really lame ior is glacius turning up more and more.
