The other day I was talking in the lobby with some people about the most noobish formations we had ever seen, it was a hilarious discussion, and it gave me the idea for this thread.

Here are the rules:
It has to be an actual noob form, not just something you came up with yourself. The idea is to talk about forms that nobody in their right minds would ever use, but would get an "A" for creativity.

Other than that I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Screenshots are great, because typed descriptions can get pretty tedious, but either are ok.

Also, I may put links of some of the better ones up on this first post, if the thread takes off.

Have fun,

Would the formation need to be effective or what?

Well, of course someone DID use them, but the kind of thing I'm looking for is clerics and mages in one corner, knights in the other.

im not really a noob anymore but i used this one setup as an experiment:

I had my cleric in the back corner with 2 knights protecting it. I had my archer and one mage 2 spaces in front. In the other corner at the way back i had an archer and an assassin, and in front of the assassin was my LW. two spaces up were a mage and a knight. Then at the very front in the middle i had my witch by herself.

It totally sucked and i never used it again. in fact this is the first time ive decided to come out and embarrass myself :D I would have taken a screen shot but bein the noob that i was i didnt know how. Sorry if its too confusing

Hehe, what is noobish about it? I mean sure, it contains three pyros, has no cleric and it seems the strategy for using this formation would be to attack, attack, and then attack some more, but that sounds fun! Bah, to turtles I say, bah! They make my head hurt, :wacko:. Turtles are great, but sometimes you just want to play some smashsmouth TAO. Sorry, I seem to have gone off on a different path. *fades into darkness, :*ph34r2:*

Beautifully n00bish kyir, but what I REALLY wanted was n00b formations that you see an actual n00b using :rolleyes:

Does this band play TAO? If so, are they n00bs? If so, where can I find them, (I need more stats!)? :jester:

Usually nubs remove the chanty, add an lward somewhere and leave the rest be.

It's eery...since I did it too when I started :wacko:

Very right.

I don't remember what I did when I started out first. I turtled pretty early (corner) but didn't think to use a chanty or barrier ward until I had played for months.

I also remember the first time I hit 1000, I think I had been playing 2 or 3 weeks. I was very excited :rolleyes:
