Title: Terms born in AH
Post by: RoGenT on August 04, 2008, 02:39:37 PM
I was talking to a couple people in the game about some terms such as ''rubberbullets, pwned'' being born in the game so I have to wonder what are some of the terms that people like to use?

For example, I nicknamed rockets as ''Piglets'' back when I was in POTW and I have noticed few others started to use it as well lol

I think Shane came up with Slobberdonkey and Tardlette in AH. You'd have to ask him though.

terms such as ''rubberbullets, pwned'' being born in the game

Sorry to say, Pwned was not born in Aces High, it was an accidental misspell by a creator of Starcraft.  When they meant to put "player was owned" it ended up "pwned" and using patches was corrected. :D

In the context of AH the term 'two weeks' IMO had developed a unique and very relaxed defintion of 14 days in english...
But no, you are right - I suddenly come to think of a sequence of status meetings with some expensive consultants at work :)

Noy going to start a fight of any sort, just saying what i have learned, and here is the quote i use it from: "Starcraft first made use of the word "pwned", which is popular with Internet users. It came about when a map designer misspelled the word. Then the game was published with the error. When a player had been beaten, the message "______ has been pwned" appeared. This was corrected using patches but remained in the vocabulary of '1337' or 'leet' speakers."  - imbd.com starcraft trivia.  Since i wish not to start anything i am leaving it there :salute

You can leave it there if you want but the origin of 'pwned' is a result of a simple typo and there is no fact supporting it was a result of a map maker's mistake.  There are just as many anecdotes that mention 'pwned' in games before Starcraft (Doom 2, Quake, Quake II).  It's like, 'Teh', which is the commonly used tool speak bastardization of 'The'.  Another simple typo that has grown into its own word, no different than 'pwned'.
