Just like you use the word Goon as a dismissive term for our opinions, ideals, and beliefs, we use pubbie in much the same way.

I thought most people use "Goon" just a neutral term for "a member of Goonswarm". The dismissive terms have something added to the end (goonie, goontroll, etc).

In most games a pubbie is anyone who's not a member of your exclusive group.

A related term is the pubstomp, where your group joins a public server and proceeds to pwn everyone due to your vastly superior teamwork.

It simply means anyone who isn't a member of the particular social clique in question.

When Goonswarm uses the term, I believe it actually refers to anyone who is not a member of the Something Awful forums. Thus even certain members in Goonswarm are called "pubbies" (the ones who were able to get in because they were "sponsored").

It's an acronym.

Pubbies won the day :)

Its just another "them against us" pejorative.

Feel free to be sad and cry whenever you hear it I guess.

Would you cry if something horrible happened? Would be sad if everything was terrible?

No I don't think so =( I don't cry a lot anymore. Lots of bad things have happened. I find it hard to feel sadness these days. Or maybe it is all I feel. I have no idea =(

Goons coming from Something Awful forums is a clever deception spread to hide the fact that they, in fact, base out from the 4chan forums.

Actually I wonder about that. But I don't think there's an easy way to tell if someone is sponsored?

The Goonswarm Federation is a pubbie-free organization, always has been, always will be.
