Specific Ideas

Kernel

I also like the idea of using the term kernel to refer to a waker's soul.

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)

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?

  • Aliased – jagged or serrated
  • Anti-aliased: visually smooth; often used as a simile (“You’ve got some anti-aliased moves there, waker.”)
  • Alpha/Beta/Gold: phases of developing an idea or plan; often used as epithets (“Pro’ never seems to get his mind beyond alpha.”)
  • Defragment, -ation: Organise; tidy; bring order to chaos.
  • Fragmentation: Entropy; discord; untidiness; sloppiness of maintenance.
  • Pixels:
