Here's a possible slang term: [http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/definition.php?phishing Phishing]. As defined, it would seem an idealmatch for a waker con game; so maybe a phisher is a ''Virtual'' con-artist. | Here's a possible slang term: [http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/definition.php?phishing Phishing].

Specific Ideas
Kernel
I also like the idea of using the term kernel to refer to a waker's soul.
--IMAGinES 16:25, 10 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Igtenio, however, has used the term as a direct replacement for "hit points", which does seem like a better idea.

Phishing
Here's a possible slang term: Phishing. As defined, it would seem an idealmatch for a waker con game; so maybe a phisher is a Virtual con-artist. --IMAGinES 16:04, 10 Jun 2005 (PDT)
General Notes
Other Ideas for Slang
- Applet - teasing/derogatory term for a Bantam or maybe a dreamer?
- Form Factor?
- Nybble: See Applet.
- Pinging also just has to be in there somewhere.
- Raw and Cooked Data?
- Readme, as in "Oh, come on, waker! Do you need a readme for this? It's easy!"
- Safe Mode?
