Can somebody give me afirm definition?

Acting like a child is as good as (if not better(worse?)) than actually being one. Anyone who actually takes the trouble to PM their infantile disdain at being shot down - in a cartoon plane and lace that disdain with poor grammar - to the guy who just killed him should be officially recognized for their immature rantings.

Personally i would define it as the following: -

Squeaker

1. Someone on voice chat that has not hit puberty or has an abnormally high-pitched voice. They will often use a ridiculous amount of profanity to try and offset their lack of audible maturity.

2. A (suspected) young person on open channel who is clearly clueless yet feels the need to rant continually on a given subject, often with the use of capitals or very poor spelling, which they know nothing about.

3. A clueless (suspected young) noob who feels the need to mouth off at you once you shoot them down.

4. Term which can be used for any young person(s) in game.

Basically, i would define it as any person i suspect of being young and clueless a squeaker in game.

e.g. "Megadud stop squeaking".

But thats just me.

I agree with furbal but because this would be hard to verify for the purposes of the tourney I was thinking along these lines:

Any new account opened in May '07 or later.

And to open it to a little more fun:

Anyone ranting and acting childish on Ch 200 or PM after being shot down.

And I thought of another catagory: Longest squelch list. Not sure if they can be viewd off-line with a text editor or if each would have to be screenshot as added (which might be too much of a pain).

I'm willing to organize this and come up with an official rules list once we've got all the ideas down and also to do a monthly re-cap of the winners and the Grand Champion at the end.

Another need: Somewhere to post films/screenshots.

That's pretty much my definition as well.

I am going to tape a squeaky dog toy to my mike and everytime I hear one of those "they haven't dropped yet voices" having their little Napoleon moments "SQUEAK SQUEAK" it will go over the country channel.
I will be ready!:p

I think I've found a contestant for country channel idiocy.
