OLDBIES


So post here if you think you are a Newbie or a Oldbie.

I don't know where I would fit but I always class myself as a newbie.

But seing as you classed newbies as rippers I guess I shouldn't class myself as a newbie :S

No I said rippers are newbies.. Not newbies are rippers.. That means only some newbies are rippers and if you dont rip Lexy then you arent a ripper so you are just a normal newbie and I really need some sleep so I stop mumbling here and making no sense are you understanding a word im saying? Ok time to eat.

Yea I understand :D

Why not go get some sleep if your tired lol. Unless your a person who hates sleep :D

Hehehe, well I am more or less a newbie so :P

Just not a ripper, I used to be but I ain't now. I haven't been a ripper for a very long time. Mind you, not ripping or dissing other people gets you a long way in life. Mind you, not dissing or trying to hurt people has got me alot of new friends ^_^

Depends. I think I'm more of a midbie. I've been around a year, but Spuzzum, Zilal, Gughunter and Deadron have been around a lot longer, and many people have been around a lot less longer.

Do you like saying bie?
Post your answers.

I never thought highly of the term "oldbie"; it just sounds stupid. "Newbie" has a certain flow to it, but "oldbie" stumbles across the consonants and sounds just like a bad me-too word. I much prefer "veteran".

When given regards to DM, veteran seems better, but I'd actually aim it more towards "experienced" -- that encompasses me and everyone else I know here. I doubt anyone here has even scratched the surface with regards to what BYOND's current feature set has to offer, myself included. People have done fantastic things with some features, yes, but no one has a veritable cornucopia that encompasses every advanced feature, dragging the CPU to the fullest and most powerful extent. Look at it this way -- I sincerely doubt that 3D games, let alone first-person shooters, were at all imagined to be possible way back in the early 80s. What DM needs is time and enough people, before we'll ever see what could be considered something beyond "veteran".

I wouldn't even classify Dan or Tom as "oldbie" or "guru", either, despite their obvious affiliation with the language. I'm speaking objectively from a programming standpoint, of course, but they haven't gotten together and made a really fantastic production that demonstrates BYOND Power either (well, except BYOND itself, but that's something done in C++, not DM ;-) ).
