OK - So with the launch of Steam MWO we need a derogatory term for the new players

my suggestion is Steam + Noobs = STOOBS !

They can refer to those of us pre-steam players as :

Original Lifelong Dedicated Founders And Real Tryhards = OldFarts

This I think will build a great sense of community to welcome in new players to the Forums.

Thoughts ??

[Darian DelFord]

Yup I approve

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Ahh, the name game. Now if only we could find a way to call one group BonerFarts.

[zagibu]

Stoobs it is.

Catchy, but I don't think it will latch on, simply because it's a little "too" catchy, and not quite as demeaning as it needs to be.

I propose SteamTards, because that's exactly what it's going to be

[PyckenZot]

As an oldfart, I would propose to quirk the stoob name: "st33b"

Steeb? Steev? STEVE!!!!

Does this mean the new e-sports tryhards from steam become sleats?

I can't tell if this thread is meant to be funny or just unconstructively derogatory.

Well I'm fine with calling them all Steve then.

Stoobs, i like it... time to filter is quite high on this one

[Alistair Winter]

Stoobs sounds derogatory and could possibly be misinterpreted as an insult.

With the city of Cleveland being right on the border between the USA and Canada, where most MWO players are from, I honestly think a more appropriate name for new Steam players would be Cleveland Steamers. I don't see any way that could be misconstrued.

"Steam" is a white-tinged water vapor.. similar to a cloud... and when a cloud is "low" (as the new steam people will be) its called a fog...

So..

Why not call them "Foggers"?
