N00bishness can be calculated with the following equation:

 

N = N00bishness index (higher is more n00bish)

C* = Complaining when you are killed (for any reason, no matter how much you were lamed, it's lamer to complain) (1-10)

B = Bragging about your skill (1-10)

S = Actual Skill (1-10)

T = Time playing on 17th (experience 1-10)

 

*note: if you complain for getting teamed in pub, double your complaining score

 

N =

 

(T+S)

----------

S-(B+C)

 

It's fun!

Ok lets work this out.

 

C - 5 (I mainly complain about teamwork, well lack of. Teaming is funny!)

B - 2

S - 9 (in Lanc ^_^)

T - 9 (Before I retired)

 

(T+S)

----------

S-(B+C)

 

9+9 = 18

----------

9-(2+5=7)=2

 

So that gives me a noob rating of 9?

Exactly! Isn't it fun? Here's mine

 

C = 1 (I rarely complain)

B = 4

S = 8.5 (in ter)

T = 4

 

so

 

(4+8.5) = 12.5

8.5-(4+1) = 3.5

 

which makes my rating about 3.6, I'm less of a n00b!

 

I made the equation to work like this:

 

If you are experienced, you are MORE n00blike for complaining or bragging

If you are less experienced, this behavior is more expected of you

If you are highly skilled, it helps make up for complaining and bragging

 

As an example, if you were a 10 in skill, your n00b rating would fall to 6, or if you were less experienced.

 

I think designing this equation adds to my n00b index. I should get a 20 for even dreaming this up :angry:

So the more experianced and skilled you are the more newbie you are?

---snip---

 

um. no.

 

The more experienced you are, the more complaining and bragging add to your n00b index. We expect a higher standard from vets. Skill helps counteract your complaining and bragging, so if you are very skilled, you can brag some without it hurting your score much.

umm, i thought "vets" complained more than anyone in pub...

 

i went and looked brag up in the dictionary...definition: to boast. deffinition of boast: to brag...i think webster's getting lazy...

 

but really bragging is when you extremely over-exaggerate about yourself...so, if B

 

but, genius288 gets most most vote for most annoying and n00best n00b

genius288:

 

C* = 9 (complains constantly, just because someone doesnt respond even)

B = 10 (says he's better than everyone else, and his squad.)

S = 5 (ok, he aint bad at soccer, but i still hate him so i give him 5)

T = 6 (meh)

 

(6+5)

----------

5-(10+9)

 

11

---

-14

 

N=-0.78

 

i dont know if a small negative number would be bad or good..

Posted

didn't account for negatives... or really... that anybody would actually do this. I'll redo the formula sometime, when this topic comes up again, so that it works for everyone better, if there's demand for it ;)

I can narrow it down to 3 or 4 but picking one out of them would be impossible for me. Multistrike and kill all beaners are both excellent candidates but so is dakillaroach, granted he knocked me out of the bos thing but hey, that's what I get for typing in a tournament. All three of these are not only terrible at the game (which is excusable by itself, it's just a game) but are complete morons to boot. So I salute these three as the 'n00best of the n00b.'
