Noob Route Building Contest

[strench707]

I dunno. My guess is that the noo sound is for being new at it (obviously) and the b at the end is from the word boob. The word boob I mean not sexually, but as in dumb or inexpeierenced. So new and inexpeirenced is my genereal definition but its my guess. I wouldn't mind being called a noob like 5 years ago but now, its been too long. I dont call myself a "Trainz Veteran" because I'm not vain or I dont think Im high up in anyway, I just describe what I like to do, in my case modeling amtrak in HO scale and virtually.

I read it before you deletd it for whatever reason and I think the new is right but the B is random in the case ur trying to prove. I dunno, I'll try wikipedia.

It was origionally a military term:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noob

Not much on why it is the way its spelled though.

Noob comes from "newb" or "newbie."

Fairly generic term.

Anyone mind if I enter this with a route I've got...I think it's 30 by 8 boards at the moment?

 

[sethmcs]

who thought of that word anyway??? :hehe:

Have no idea but I googled and found this:http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob

:hehe:

That thing talks aobut them like they are animals in the wild:

"If you ever encounter one..."
"Don't attempt to communicate with them..."

etc.

Thats hilarious but very descriptive. At least SR1600 didn't call me a n00b instead of a noob.

Still feels bad

Oh well, Ill sleep on it

I've been here about 2 yrs and I still consider myself a newbie here, but by that definition, I guess I'm a newb. At least I don't think I'm a noob.

 

[strench707]

5 years and I never considered myself that because I joined the forums in late 07 so I had no one to compare to until then so I ust rated myself. But when I had only done it for 2-3 years I wasnt too proud (aka felling nooby)

Likewise, I been here 3+ years and I am still ready to learn.

Here is some pictures of my second route inspired by a trip to the ocean....

Who else but a noob would put a sewage treatment plant downtown.:hehe:

I am proud of this Ocean view....

I think I'd add some guardrails in that road curve at the end of the bridge or someone's going to need a bath:hehe:
