Conversely, if someone is a newb in the insult sense, then they are by definition not actually a newb, and don't qualify for nominations here.

I've played a few online games in my day and noob is not a nice word, even if you've just started. It's generally considered a slur.

If you are on the corner of a "out of a game" knockout and you KNOW you are going to lose, kamikaze can help inflict a good amount of damage before death. It's bad to do early and mid game because you don't know if you'll lose. I even done some personal kamikazes myself, but it didn't really help and it net me the loss. So it balances in 50 / 50 on the scale currently. Unless the owner of this site implants a new kamikaze setting.

This was a joke. Perhaps not a very funny one, but I don't mean it seriously funky.

So do I win or not?

DoomYoshi wrote:Here is the Wikipedia definition:
Newbie, newb, n00b or noob is a slang term for a novice or newcomer, or somebody inexperienced in any profession or activity. Contemporary use can particularly refer to a beginner or new user of computers, often concerning Internet activity, such as online gaming[1] or Linux use.[2][3] It can have derogatory connotations, but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without a value judgment.

I also like generalhead, he's getting off on the right foot by spending some time on the forums.

That depends; how many people can you vote for? Funky's already voted himself
The both of us have join dates from 2+ years back, but only seem to have gotten involved in the past year.

Even though he is two years old, he still acts like a newb, primarily by giving just about everyone he plays a poor rating; usually because they beat him or refused to be his ally or attacked him. Basically, if you do anything that does not positively affect him, he'll tank your rating. I definitely think this awards him special consideration as 2012 Newb of the Year.

As further evidence, please view his ratings page here: http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?m ... e=cyrpilou

there you go doom, another one that doesn't get what you mean by newb. i think that "new player of the year award" with no "newb" in front would be less contraversial.
