You might be a PUG if...

This is a list (salvaged) from BSN Prime. It was compiled by BloodBeforeTears after the BSNers posted their suggestions

---

There are a countless number of things PUGs to do to keep us entertained (and annoyed). Any contribution to help PUGs self-identify, and transition to the BSN way, is appreciated. Remember... we were all PUGs once, and young.


PUG def.

noun \ˈpəg\

1. an uninformed player that does little to contribute to match completion, often providing a burden for others to bear

2. any player that uses quickmatch to find a game and end up sorted into a lobby

*** in the the context of this thread, we are only concerned with the former definition (1) above ***
