  • TW Sayings

    Just because I feel the need to give back to the TW community something of value, I would like to start an instructional dictionary for those people who may just be starting to play the game. I know when I first started it took me a while to understand the ‘lingo’ or ‘TW speak’, so I thought I would go ahead and list some of the most commonly used terms and phases and their meaning.

    “Lagger” - This is what you say when you can’t kill anything is sight or if someone has just killed you several times in a row. It is even more effective if you say it while are downloading porn, defragging your hard drive, and dying in TW all at the same time.

    “Spawner” – This can be said any time you die in the lower ¾ of any arena.

    “Noob” – This is what you call anyone you don’t like. It is ok to say this anytime, anywhere and to anyone, a truly universal word.

    “The staff sucks” – This is what you say when you your “I want on the staff” PM’s go unanswered or when you get axed on the second day as a ZH. It is good to always hold this feeling for as long as possible and make sure that every staff member hears it from you. I mean, if you can’t be on staff, then why should anyone else?

    “Usage is meaningless” – This is what you say when talking to anyone who has more TW experience than you.

    “Records are meaningless” - This is what you say when you have a losing record.

    “Cloakers are lame” – This is what you say every time you die by someone flying ship 8. This saying can quickly be adopted by substituting the appropriate ship name.

    “Owned!” or “EZ” – This is what you say when you finally killed the guy who just killed you 8 times in a row.


    I’m sure I am missing some, feel free to add to the list and help me give back to the game.

        Actually this is what you say when TelCat tries to impress you with her recent milestone of 2000 hours usage and thus she believes she is a true hardcore elite.

            It can also quickly be adopted by substituting the appropriate shiip number.

            Here are a couple more:

            "Safe to attach?" - Used when a levi volunteers to help out his team but wants to make sure first that the team no longer needs help.

            "//sry" - Macros for Shift F1 through F4 for levis. Four slots are set for this purpose because levis are used to not having to be precise, so hitting anything within the general area of the target is good enough for what they want to accomplish.

            "Duel me at lower safe" - Though common for obvious purposes, it is also occasionally used to prove one's detractors wrong when they accuse one of not knowing how to base.

            "STFU" - Used when you realize that the another person is right and you are not, but don't want to admit you are wrong.

            "damn trool" - Often uttered when an uber-leet wb, jav or spider fails to kill a weak, vulnerable and easily killed shark only to wind up as another addition to said shark's bounty.

              I have 3000 hours in 4 years.

              whenever I am ez kills I use the following reasons, sometimes several of them all at once:

              (on defence)

              1) I am drunk.
              2) It's 4am, I can barely keep my eyes open.
              3) Not trying / I don't give a damn.
              4) I am chatting (while playing).
              5) I haven't played this ship for ages.
              6) Wah I have no luck whatsoever!
              7) Didn't drink coffee this morning, soooo tired.


              (on offence)

              1) OMG can you stop using 14.4K modem? Your lag is giving me a heart attack!
              2) Wah, your newb luck is truely, deeply impressive. GG
              3) Are you cheating?!?!!!


              Now here is a break down of my TW playing time:

              20% - Not trying
              13% - I am drunk
              3% - 4am, my brain shut down 10 minutes ago.
              4% - no luck
              9% - didn't drink coffee this morning
              24% - chatting while playing
              5% - Happens to be playing with a bunch of 'laggy' 'lame' 'lucky' 'cheating' *newbs*


              BUT, there is this 12% of the times, I shine like a vet the way I am!!!
              Wont die, no surrender 2

                Comming from other zones, 2fer, 3fer, teamfer, etc seem to be TW specific. TD and refering to cloackers as "x" also are uncommon in other zones.

                People should start using die irl more, or perhaps dirl, the shortened version I helped pioneer in dsb.
