What do you call a player who uses all the cheap tacktics

Archive: 39 posts


What do you call a player who makes bomb survivals, WATER levels, shark survivals, H4H, unnamed levels, advertises in others comment sections, and makes levels for trophies. I wanna make a level but I need a name for a group of characters who do all of these things. Thanks2010-04-09 12:29:00

n00bs = newbies but annoying.

I think the people who make levels with the methods above are sell outs.

Well, it isn't wrong, just uncreative and willing to do anything for plays and hearts...
Most are not new, or "newbies", but simply smart people that know how to take advantage of the community for hearts and plays, but are simply not creative and/or appealing to a different audience, not the classy people that we are.
In other words, I don't know.

Well, I was gonna consider calling them "russellsmussels" or "Ozzy-Ozwalds", but that'd be to deroggatory.

How about the "Naughty Sacks"? It's bad enough they had the idea of doing one of those levels in the first place, but when they put it in action, that's just... well, "NAUGHTY". :kz:

Eehh, n00b seems more like a description that has to do with gameplay skill rather then creativity. I guess more obscure words to describe them would be hacks (not related to computers, look it up) or rubes. So maybe Hackboys?2010-04-10 03:24:00

Yeah, tried to make a bomb survival once... decided to try deleting it, but it won't work. Besides, I made it not for the publicity, but I got curious, some reason to try it out, and back when the bomb survival was epic, I liked them... then I discovered the new ones are made by n00bs... yes I admit I made one just cause I wanted to, and I agree that was a bit n00bish, but my friends (who don't have LBP, so this was just introduced to them) like it. No I'm not a n00b, I tried to get rid of it remember? Yes, that was a bit n00bish, but really!? Just curious... I'm no full fledged n00b!
Anyway, n00b does describe them. For those who take that as a full-time job, they're described as...
a huge combo of bad words...

n00bs.
I think those annoying people who publish copyable levels such as the LBPC Logic Vault for their own benefit should be counted.

They are called scum and will soon feel the end of all there dreams come crashing down, crushing the worthless soul...

But n00b is just as good...for now.

Noobs, newbs, or newbies (whichever one) is the wrong thing to say here. This is just a beginner we're talking about. Hell, all of us were once noobs (newbs, or newbies). I think the correct term for the people mention in the OP (official post, of first post) is the word "mimes". They're exactly like they're described:


They copy.
They're never creative.
They're annoying.


Either that, or they're just plain out stupid. Whichever one you like.

Yes... I like that one
Anyway, some aren't new to the game, but fit under the catagory given in the above quote.

I think I may call my characters the Noob Kings or the Noobs of the Round Table because in this series they start these fad's and turn other levels into these horrible excuses for levels.2010-04-10 12:27:00

I'm still thinking you guys are calling them stupider than they really are... It actually takes a bit of work to make some bomb survivals (not that I agree in any way), like Russlmusles, those levels of him were better designed than mine!
So maybe "Gaffer".

Above is right, bomb survivals are a bit of work from scratch...2010-04-10 17:50:00

Or you just go and search "Bomb Survival Copy Free".

Hence, the stupid mimes suggestion.

What? Cool? Kind? Funny?

Honestly, I don't think you're the type of person to use cheap tacktics.

I find it odd how people take H4Hers and the like so seriously. You don't want to H4H? Then don't. It just proves how worthless trophies really are, and if you're willing to spend 60 bucks on a game, supporting the developer, just to get trophies, so be it. More power to you.

One thing I strongly disagree with you in this thread about is that Bomb Survival and Shark levels are "cheap tactics" when it comes to LBP. I can understand using the phrase to refer to H4Hers and trophy level users, but Bomb Survival and shark survival levels still take a certain level of creativity and drive to create. You can hate them all you want, but apparently a lot of people love them. It's only natural in a game such as LBP there are going to be certain fads that a large amount of people love and a lot of other people despise, but I personally think that there's nothing wrong with certain trends we've seen in LBP. I think it just proves how deep this game is and how huge the fanbase is. It's crazy that we have almost universally known sub-genres of levels. It's crazy how vast the levels are. Not only do we have survival challenges, we have shark survival challenges. Don't judge those who like these levels so harshly. Do you guys hate these levels because you think people are just ripping off whoever made the first one, because that's ridiculous.

Anyway, I'm going to rip off Outlaw-Jack and say "Nasty Gadders."

Awesomemans I completely agree with what you say. Every one has their own opinion on what they like and that doesn't make other peoples levels wrong. When talking about bomb survivals and shark survivals I didn't really mean the creative ones that are designed well, I meant the ones that people just copy from other people who also copied them. It doesn't take much skill to use someone else 's shark, throw in some water, and emit a whole bunch of points. I also found another tactic that grinds my gears. Advertising your levels in the comment section of good levels! That is not the way to get your level noticed! If your level is good go on a website like this and advertise your level, don't spam in comment sections.2010-04-13 00:38:00

They're called being original, and that everyone is like them in ElBeepee.

TEEHEE jk, they're just wanting to get trophies and that. I think.

One of my friends made a bomb level for hearts, just because he wanted to be famous.

I lost faith in humanity that day.

What's going on with all these threads about Noobs? They just end up being pointless and spammy. I don't know if I'm missing something here, maybe it's national talk about noobs day? I dunno.... but could we just stop with these threads now?

(I know, there's only two of these threads, but, that's one too many...) (Actually, I guess you could say two too many)

I understand exactly what you did. You made a post irrelevant to the topic of the thread, diverting attention from the purpose the thread is created for. At the same time, you attempted to utilise irony, hoping that it would have the effect of making me look stupid, and gain you some cheap laughs.

Your contribution to this thread, on the other hand, is not deserving of my irony, and is, in effect, spam, which is worthy of an infraction normally.
