New words for the server

BotFodder — GMT

When this thread was originally started, this post only contained a few words. I (BotFodder) have since edited it to include all of the words that I, as thread starter, have decided should be part of the DC lexicon. Attributions are included in cases where the originator of the term is clear. If there is no attribution, the term is either one I came up with, or it is a term already in widespread use on the server (or I missed putting in the proper attribution during the composition of the post - sorry :oops:). affro - (FodderFigure) Any time a player comes on after the leader, and then surpasses the leader in a single wave, finishing that wave 100 points up from the leader. See "fro". astoneded - (Grizzled_Imposter) The feeling that results from being killed by a rock (stealth or otherwise) that you were unaware of. backshielder - Refers to a particular breed of Nali. bangstick - Any vorpal weapon, save maybe the avril. Not to be confused with "boomstick". blade - also blading, bladed. Any time a player uses a shield gun to kill a monster another player has been pounding on with another weapon for a significant period of time (or the act of doing so on a regular basis). "That guy just bladed the titan I was trying to kill!" blockhead - (TheElectrician) A player who steps in front of another's deemer. boomstick - Any penetrating shock, which usually only good for sending out multiple shock balls and comboing them, giving anyone with subwoofers a treat, and anyone with their headphones up too loud temporary deafness. Not to be confused with "bangstick". bored to death - (320) If a player is the last one alive during a wave and is forced to constantly run away from the monsters, who eventually start to die off due to timing out. bouncer - (Grizzled_Imposter) A player making good use of a Knockback weapon. cap - As in "cap it off" or "put a cap on it". Any time an AM maxes and uses the +1 Modifier on a weapon. clone - Tossing a weapon and running back over the spawn point for the weapon in order to make copies for other players. deemeralized - (TheElectrician) 1. The feeling you get when someone else's deemer takes out a large group of monsters a split second before yours. deemeralized - 2. The feeling you get when you've been deemerdered. deemercide - Killing oneself with a deemer. deemerder - Killing someone else with a deemer. Kill 5 or more, and you are a "mass deemerderer." dodgicide - 1. Dodging into the path of a rock that would have otherwise missed you. dodgicide - 2. Dying because you failed to stop dodging when facing a Warlord. fixture - (Grizzled_Imposter) Any player who seems to be on constantly, possibly due to access at work or unemployment. fro - When someone starts the wave in the lead, but then by the end of the wave is 100 points down from the leader, they have been "froed". gas n go - (Grizzled_Imposter) A medic establishes a "gas n go" when they choose a set place in the map to loiter around, where players can go and be mostly assured of being healed. group hug - When many players crowd around a medic with a medic weapon that does splash damage so everyone gets healed. instasquish - What a Titan does when he steps on a player. IE, "I was instasquished." iPoints - ("eye points") The theoretical points you would have scored, had there been anything anywhere near the impact zone of your super weapon. lawn mower (rockgoddess/SubieDude) An Infinite Minigun (usually +4). medicize -("mede-size") Using a Medic Weapon Maker on a weapon. "Bot, you want a flak 5?" "No, I'm just going to medicize one." meteor shower - Being the target of a large number of rocks all at once. Mule - Or Pack Mule, any player that holds on to certain weapons only for the purposes of giving them out. Usually applied to a Medic, who would almost never use one of their pack weapons (as they would usually stick to their medic weapon). Can be used to identify a Adrenaline Master who has Denial 3. Also, any player who manages to get maxed Damage weapons for their shock up to their flak (or more). nade ja vu - The realization that the Nali you're about to kill has stuck you with a grenade, and when you kill him, you'll probably die, too. pidle - ("pie-dle") going idle to pee. pinata - (BigDaddy) ("pinyata") When an AM player dies and spews all of their artifacts. pop - Euphemism for "vorpal". pop gun - (Grizzled_Imposter) Euphemism for "bangstick" or "precious". portacide - Dying due to being too close to an exit of a portal. Use of the term requires that you are aware on some level that the exit is there. portakill - Killing a player by going through a portal. precious - Refers to a vorpal weapon (usually a shock), usually with a higher plus value. rocked out - (320) When a player is scoring well but dies to a Titan's rock. rock wreck - (Moof) The result of rounding a corner or passing through a doorway and finding that a Titan rock had the right-of-way. saw the show - also revued.

Stepping on someone's translocator, cutting off their transcape. transagression is doing so intentionally, which can lead to a ban. transicide - Dying through (mis)use of a translocator, IE, if warned that your translocator might be damaged, and you attempt to trans to it, you have committed "transicide". Also used to refer to accidentally recalling a safely placed translocator, rather than translocating to it, such as when falling. transregret - (TheElectrician) The feeling you get when you are falling and realize you forgot to place your transolcator, or have accidentally recalled your placed translocator. triple-bummer - (emetakleze) Forgetting to turn off your triple, which results in a large loss of adren - and you realize it when you need that adren for something. triple-terror - (Spacey) Usually used to describe the score leader, any time someone goes around with a high damage weapon and boosts it with a triple. vorpacide - Managing to vorpal yourself. vorpalicious - Used to describe a special vorpal based kill or sequence of kills, such as vorpaling a titan that was about to rock you on the first shot, or vorpalling most of a string of titans to get a kill streak. vorpaly - (UntamedSub) The measure of how often a vorpal weapon vorpals. IE: "This thing hasn't popped yet! It not very vorpaly." Not to be confused with "vorpally". vorpally - Rarely used, but can be used to explain how something was done. "Ooo got his highest score vorpally - he plus oned and doubled his vorp 10 shock." or "The only way I survived that wave alone was vorpally." weapon devaluation - Or devalued my weapon. Any time a high damage/plus or otherwise popular weapon is accidentally changed via a Magic Weapon Maker (or, in this use, "Moron's Weapon Maker") into something less preferred. More generally, it can refer to any time an MWM is used and a lesser weapon results. zone - (320) Also in the zone or zoning. When doing extremely well, but unaware of just how well, or sometimes, even the conversations going on over voice chat, you are "in the zone."

"Transcape" to use a transporter multiple times in a row to hit and run a group of aliens.

Re:New words for the server

DoogieHowserMD — GMT

Howserfy**: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): -fied; -fy·ing A state of being approximate or equal to the coolness factor held by DoogieHowserMD. "Wow, that transcape was so howserfied!" "They should howserfy this map some." **Please note: Howserfication has not actually been implimented in live gameplay on the DC servers as of this posting. But it totally should be. Like, for reals. The effect would be howserfying.

"Group Hug" - The act of many players getting close together so that a medic with a splash weapon can heal them all. "pidle" - Going idle to pee. "vorpalicious" - one of many variations of "vorpal" used to describe a particularly special vorpal based kill or sequence of kills, such as vorpaling a titan (particularly one getting ready to rock you) on the first shot, or vorpalling (most of) a string of titans to get a kill streak. "This is shock is very vorpaly; I got a vorpalicious monster kill on that titan wave."

Re:New words for the server

Moof — GMT

We need one for suddenly entering into the path of a Titan's rock, usually by either coming around a corner only to have one seemingly waiting for you there, or actually translocating into an imminent strike.

Re:New words for the server

BotFodder — GMT

Haven't come up with one for that yet Moof - still working on it. "Dodgicide" (specifically covering the case where you dodge into a rock that would have otherwise missed you)? "Rock surprise" doesn't quite have the ring to it that your definition deserves. New (old?) terms: "instasquished" - what happens to you when a Titan steps on you "stupicide" - dying to your own stupidity "devalued my weapon" - when an MWM is used (particularly accidentally) to change a perfectly good weapon (say, a Flak 5 or Vorpal Shock) into something that is less than it was. "Devorpaled" can be used specifically for vorpal weapons. Perhaps "MWM" could stand for "Moron's Weapon Maker" - and I think the MWM should be recoded to give you something useless like a +0 sturdy weapon when you change a vorp 10 shock. "stealth rock" - this is a classic term - usually in reference to a rock you either didn't see coming or could not verify that it actually existed. For example, if you die to a "Titan's rock" but don't see said rock (or even bits of rock) after the death, you died to a "stealth rock" "transicide" - The only time this should be applied to a death from a damaged translocator is if you've been warned, or even checked to see if your trans was damaged by attempting to recall it. Otherwise, this can refer to deaths caused by accidentally recalling a safely placed translocator, rather than translocating to it. Usually done while falling, this can be used to describe the failure to "transcape". The definition of "transcape" can be expanded to mean any escape from a perilous situation by use of a translocator. "Blading", "Bladed" - any time another player uses a shield gun to kill a monster you've been pounding on with another weapon for a significant amount of time (or of course the act of doing this on a regular basis). I will occasionally ask blading players, "Who do you think you are? Blade?" "Saw the show" - Died to a group of Queens. If you don't get the reference, I'll explain later.

Re:New words for the server

Wildfire — GMT

I like the Stealth Rock one, as well as the Stupicide. This comes from a different game, but could be used here as well. If you here the distinct sound of a Vorpal weapon being used, feel free to shout "Stop using Vorpal-Vorpal Stupid!"

Re:New words for the server

- "rocked-out" - When a guy who has a good run up till then gets sent to the spectator zone by a titan rock. - "the zone" - When you're tearin' up titans or whatever else with impunity. You're in the zone. Nothing can touch you. Luck is on your side and you're also hyper-alert. Death, by your hand, flows like melted butter. You hit F1, and you're amazed...

"Taming" I'm still working on this one, but I was once in a game with my medic, leading the game. Wave 9 or so, (DC)UntamedSub came in, and by the end of Wave 11-12, had the lead by a couple hundred points.

That's pretty good - it's usually not hard for the higher level characters/skilled players to pull this off if they get in before 6 - 6 being where many folk make their move for the lead, knocking down strings of titans. However, as good as Untamed is, I would rather use the term: "Froed" - When the leader of the game for several waves (1-5, or later), is passed by another player, particularly one that came in relatively late in the game (most accurately applied when the score differential between former leader and new leader is 100+ points within a wave), he/she has been "Froed". Named after the player (Fro) most likely to pull off the maneuver. So you could say that Untamed froed you. Titan waves in general seem to be pretty good for froing someone.

Since he cam in AFter the other players I think it should be af-froed.

Suddenly being killed by a rock that you did not know was there, such as by coming around a corner or by using your trans: aSTONDed. I know that this is bad, but I was using the thesauras, I was, don't look at me like that! do we have one for when some one unexpectedly uses the trans to stop your deemer short, and within range of killing you, that kills him? or "seems" to purposfully jump in its way? can we say that he pulled a slim pickins?

Re:New words for the server

TheElectrician — GMT

"Wassamattayoo?" This term is used when a player (normally an inexperienced one) takes you out by intentionally firing a Redeemer at their feet or into a barrier in close proximity. "Redeemerror" An accidental "wassamattayoo?". An apology should follow. "Deemoralized" This term is used when someone else's Redeemer missle takes out a group of monsters a split second before your missle hits the exact same spot. "Blockhead" A monster or fellow player which unexpectedly steps directly into your path as you fire your Redeemer, summarily turning you into a fine red mist. (Can also be referred to as a Charlie Brown) "Transregretion" This term describes the feeling a player experiences when they are falling to their death off of a map and realize they forgot to plant their translocator somewhere.

AND gas n go- a medic that you can rely on to be at a paticular place for healing when you need it. i.e. rock, where is your gas n go? I will be at the red flag.

Re:New words for the server

Putting them in the FAQ: Nahh ... this is more for fun than anything else really. If you've looked at my FAQ recently, you'll notice several questions have been ... well, not removed, but clustered at the end of their post with notes indicating that the Main FAQ now answers the question. EDIT: I may sometime later update the first post on this thread to include all of the terms I like. Why just the ones I like? Well ... it's my post and my thread! I started it! Nyah! "gas n go" - On the Tundra map, I have that doorway where I just sit with the medic mini toggled on (check the Keybinds sticky for the clues how to do that). Heck, most of the time I could get up and walk away for a few seconds; I only have to worry about touching the keyboard or mouse when a monster shows up and bumps me. I still get a giggle when I remember a weapons trade being negotiated over voice chat, and when the terms were settled, one of them said "Meet me at Bot" ... like I was a fixture or map feature. Oh and of course I've forgotten to add: medicize - the act of using the Medic Weapon Maker on a given weapon. IE: "Bot, you want a flak 5?" "No, I'm just going to medicize one." (pronounced with a soft "c", like "s" not "k").

Re:New words for the server

Spacey — GMT

I have a new term for the server... cap-off, meaning to use the max+1 artifact on it. Example: Anyone want this Flak+5? Better hurry before I cap it off. Variants: Put the cap on it. On a related term, I have also been using terms more centric to myself like "Big Stick" and "Silver Hammer". These refer to the Flak+6 and Vorpal Shock+11, particularly but not necessarily when used with boosting artifacts. I have religated the term "precious" to indicate any vorpal of any value. But if you think about things for a bit, you may see why "Silver Hammer" and Vorpal Shock +11 go together, and maybe even the "Big Stick" reference, which comes from Teddy Roosevelt's quote. However, other folks may have different weapons for their "Big Stick". Of course, here is another one for you I just thought of...a "triple terror". Someone who goes running around with a high damage weapon such as a damage/rage flak or RL, or a vorpal, boosted with the triple. :D :wink:

Re:New words for the server

BotFodder — GMT

Griz had a decent suggestion for this Moof, but I think: "Rock wreck" - the result of rounding a corner or passing through a doorway and finding that a rock had the right of way. Not to say that Griz's work was totally useless, I think it should be: "Astoneded" - the feeling that results from a rock wreck. I actually didn't catch some of the earlier posts on page 1 ... so: I really liked "transregret"; the changing of "froed" to "affroed"; "blockhead" (though I don't think we need to restrict calling someone a "blockhead" to when death is involved); "deemeralized" (I changed the spelling ;) ) ... I think we can use: "deemercide" - Killing oneself with a deemer. "deemerder" - Managing to kill other people with a deemer - kill 5 or more, and we can use "mass deemerder". While "wassamattayou" is kinda funny, I think "deemerder" has a better ring to it. Discuss. :? "portacide" - Dying because you either went through a portal and stopped, or passed near a portal exit, and died when someone else went through the portal. We'll assume that it's more than just bad timing or lack of knowledge of the map, but closer to a failure to exercise due caution. "portakill" - The act of going through a portal and killing someone (hopefully accidentally) "meteor shower" - when a significant number of rocks (if you stopped to count them, you'd probably die) are headed in your direction at the same time. Someone wanted a term specifically for Shield Nalis; as I can't think of one, I'll just say I'd rather not elevate them by giving them a special name. However, their preferred method of dealing with you is via "backshielding" you. So I guess if you really wanted a term for them, you could use "backshielders". Okay that's enough for tonight. :) EDIT: Just saw Spacey's post - so I guess we need to clear up some terminology: "bangstick" - any vorpal weapon, save maybe the vorpal avril (it's not very stick like). "precious" - I usually limit the term to referencing vorp 10s, maybe 9s. I also usually limit it to shocks, but I guess any high vorp weapon is precious. ;) "boomstick" - Not to be confused with "bangstick", a boomstick is a penetrating shock - which is mostly only good for sending out several shock balls and then comboing them, giving anyone with a subwoofer a treat, and anyone with headphones up too loud temporary hearing loss. "pop" - Sometimes used to describe the successful vorpalling of a monster. "vorpacide" - We all know how I love putting "cide" at the end of things to indicate killing yourself. Figure this one out yourself.

Re:New words for the server

We can't forget the "lawnmower." Subie's favorite infinite minigun +4. As for titan's I like the term "shock rock" for those surprise rocks.

I know that one all too well. It is when you bounce the LG or shock off a shield of something like a queen, it comes back and BANG! You are dead! :oops: :cry: It is also why I will tend to use the double magic on a vorpal sniper, but the triple on the LG or shock. Tripling a sniper gains you little, but making it a vorpal 22 gains you quite a bit. And on the flip side, you can pretty much kill anything short of a titan with a vorpal shock 11, (combo can be 450hp, then *2.1*3 makes for a potental damage of 2835hp, before damage bonus/redux). But a vorp 22 against a queen or some other monsters leads to vorpacide. So there! :P :wink: As for a precious being just 9's or 10's, naaa... any vorpal is a precious, it just may need a bit of adren and time to grow up a bit. If you think about it, you will see why I do not limit it...even on the worst of maps, I can generally max a weapon in a wave, often less. Indeed, depending on a mix of things (map, other players, wave, etc.), I have been known to make, max and max+1 a weapon in a single wave. Of course, I also started with my adren maxed out from the previous wave. ;) Oh, and I like the others. Now, here is a new one for ya... a mythbuster. Can anyone think of what it would be?? I will give you a hint... BotFodder already mentioned the weapon. Let's see who gets it first... :wink: :D

Sounds more like a transgression to me. But then again, in INV, a trans-agression could be intentionally standing on their translocator...not good, and makes you wish you could telefrag them instead (Learn them not to stand on it! Hrmph!!). The definition for trans-agression in games such as DM, CTF and such would differ though, where it would be the act of destroying it so that they went splat when they used it. Wondering if anyone has yet figured out what a "mythbuster" is...

Not to threadjack, but as Bot pointed out awhile back, a vorp 20 doesn't have a 10% chance to instagib, as it might appear on the surface: Vorp 10 = 5% to instagib Vorp 11 = 6% 12 =7% 13 =8% 14=9 15=10 16=11 17=12 18=13 19=14 20=15 21=16 22=17 So vorp 20 will vorp, on average, every 6.66 shots. Vorp 22 will vorp every 5.88 shots. Vorp 22 is like hitting three 7s on a slot machine. :lol:

OK, here it is... the trick is that a normal weapon is 100%, and with 10% per plus, a +10 is doing 200% of base damage, and that +22 is doing... doing 100% + 22*10% or 320% of base damage!! So I think you can see why I said at least one of us would like the answer.

I have (and will continue to) edited the first post to include all the terms I have deemed worthy of inclusion (and "redeemed" those I haven't - haha! get it? ... um, nevermind).

OK, nobody responded to my question regarding what they thought a "Mythbuster" could be, so here it goes... If you have ever watched Mythbusters, you know how they start out by saying "Don't do this at home. We are what you call professionals" or some such. Well, apply that to a LA player (or any player with high adren and a globe). That player activates the globe, gets right up next to a huge group of bugs (titans, warlords and queens work best), and then fires a deemer or painter pretty much at their feet. If you have noticed, I tend to do this fairly regularly, mostly with the deemer when I can get it. No damage, no hurting other players, just massive damage to the bugs. Wanna make it really big...throw in the triple at the same time, but better fire that deemer quickly! Wanna be insane, primary fire the deemer with either a vorpal or rage as your best weapon! Kinda like Adam and the sweeper motor...it will bite you back!

When you hand out a common ability weapon to everyone we call that cloning. what would you call the temporary use of an ability of one weapon by another, such as when you primary fire the deemer and switch to a rage weapon (or by mistake accidently go to your harm weapon)? Timmy: a player that regularly outscores you despite a large level difference. Party Zone: a place on the map, that if no players are around monsters seem to ball up and wait to be fired at, such as some elevator shafts. Wet Blanket: using a super weapon on a party zone. Bouncer: a player that is throwing monsters around the map with a knockback weapon. I just went back to the begining and read bots original post, nice job of organization and spelling corection. :-)

"Mule" or "Pack Mule" - Any player that holds on to certain weapons only for the purposes of giving them out. Usually applied to a Medic, who would almost never use one of their pack weapons (as they would usually stick to their medic weapon). Can be used to identify a Adrenaline Master who has Denial 3. Also, any player who manages to get maxed Damage weapons for their shock up to their flak (or more).

I just stumbled into this thread while doing a search. Great thread. I've used some of the terms without knowing that they'd been established. I use the term "Yard Sale" when I die and spew all of my artifacts. eg. "Yard sale at the blue flag." See "Pinata"

blockhead - (TheElectrician) A player who steps in front of another's deemer.

Not to annoy those on the server, but .. I'm suddenly tempted to do this once, but only if it entails translocating several feet in the air to intercept an alt-fired deemer. The "wtf" factor might elicit a giggle. :)
