I really wish you people would do away with the name calling out there.Does calling others "Dweebs"put you in a class above them.We are all just people doing the best we can in the game.Some are great,some are good and some struggle.Besides the word has been overused so much that I am really tired of seeing it.Anybody remember the word "civility".

LOL Curly!!!

What Curly is saying is, as long as you have testosterone and a  adrenline-raising game like Aces High involved, you're gonna get called something by someone.

I like the Netrek term "TWINK"

Twink (pronounced "twheenk"): Term that applies to a clueless newbie, someone that behaves like a clueless newbie (but is not), or a veteran that purposely hunts clueless newbies, to powergamers (aka, those that dont get the point of the game and just care about being the most powerful thing out there) and to those that abuse known quirks and bugs without being blatant cheater.


Handy word aint it?

"sweetheartbag" has a good junior high appeal to it. I think I remember it coming along about the same time "dweeb" and "dork" did.

Some people here never did get past middle school Hblair!  That's why those terms come so easily to them
