If you were connect to twgs.at3000.com and join game T (being a TEST game with tedit access) you would find there a bunch of panzies waging war with one another as if it were a live game. These people spread loaded lvl 6 planets across the entire game right in open space and for those of us who would like to actually run some tests there would have to deal with this. And then they whine and get pissed off when you tedit their planet out of the ****ing way because they somehow think that this is the way the game is meant to be played. I have told several of them if they want to play a real game to find one that is not labeled as TEST. I decided to pull out the NEWB word on one guy who was complaining at me who then informed me that he has been playing since 91. He should know better than that. WHAT KIND OF LOOSERS ARE THESE PEOPLE?? |

My dear snozberry loving friend, it's "losers" not "loosers" a looser, I suppose would be someone who loosens things! Just a comment 
It sounds like there is something seriously wrong with the people you've described. Perchance a bit too much of the white powder? Hmmm

Call them lusers, makes more sense. http://hostingworks.com/support/dict.phtml?foldoc=luser quote: luser /loo'zr/ A user; especially one who is also a loser. (luser and loser are pronounced identically.) This word was coined around 1975 at MIT. Under ITS, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed out some status information, including how many people were already using the computer; it might print "14 users", for example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch the system to print "14 losers" instead. There ensued a great controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to be called losers to their faces every time they used the computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly, each changing the message behind the back of the others; any time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it would say "users" or "losers". Finally, someone tried the compromise "lusers", and it stuck. Later one of the ITS machines supported "luser" as a request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990, except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the term "luser" is often seen in program comments. http://www.kacmac.com/html/app2/ quote: A blend of "loser" and "user." Someone who doesn't have the faintest idea what they're doing and, more importantly, this individual refuses to do anything about it. |
