Title: Game terms
Post by: ylikone on January 10, 2006, 04:25:39 pm
Hey, I was just thinking about some things that people do in the game that don\'t have terms or names associated with terms.  (at least not that I could find by searching the forums)

For example...

First-timers doing /shout in the plaza for getting help.  (maybe newb-shout?)

When running, going directly toward someone else for only a moment to see their name label. (maybe charge-glancing?)

Control Optimization--that funny little dance the noobs do before they figure out movement keys and camera orientation

Then there is the  trade boxes. That is fun, they always click on you and \"poof\" trade box. Actually it is quite annoying to me when I am ulber hunting. I was just about to hit one the other day then this trade box popped up in my way. I almost got killed. :p

There could be \"lag-walking\" for people with severe lag that keep skipping back and walking/running through the same place a few times.  Reminds me of a broken record that skips.   :D

We call them \"glitchers\" as they keep glitching their way through an area, in and out of our universal plane of existence.

\"Gladnappers\"--the guys in the arena that join the game in the attack position in front of the gladiator you are currently fighting.  *especially funny when the gladnapper is a Kran and spawns at just about the time a Kraniator is supposed to, in the same spot.  I always try to attack them before I realize they got a green name.

\"Bracketilians\"-- those insisting that brackets be used to say something when you are the only two people in the entire game at that moment.

Well that would explain the pot holes I keep falling in.
They should make the paths ware proof.

Exactly :D

\"Uuuhm I\'m just waiting till somebody with great power who doesn\'t like me sends the same rogue back to me on this very spot over and over again. Therefore it\'s my spot, because it\'s me he\'s after. I wouldn\'t want to endanger you.\"

Wind Barriers: Those magical forces that keep you from going off the path

Point of No Return: Those mysterious blue areas where the ground seems to have dissappeared. Presumably holes in the stalactite. Darn overeager miners...  :D  ;)  :P
