ganker hahahahahahah that gets my vote for the lamest term ever used in a.a.

vulturer!

that stuff truly annoys me too, since ganking(crow'ding a zone) is just the goal of a fortress game, and vulturing(getting points) the goal of ... well, any arma game

i didn't even know this thread existed...
came up with loads...

cut -- rapid entry to a zone despite a tight defence, as in "nice cut"

pipetail entry -- when defence is spiralling, offence has to fit between the impossibly tight gap between goalie and his wall risking a potentially lethal and normally easy shimmy from the goalie

zing -- as in amazing, but this didn't float

which reminds me of:

plop -- for some reason, i heard a few players come up with this

and i personally like:

tube -- as in "catching a tube", when you grind between two walls... reminiscent of catching a tube in surfing...

i think i used some terminology like this on various vids i produced, but i don't think they had enough stickiness for these memes to propagate...

(base)camper - a person that makes respawn fanatics (like me

) angry while it drives around the respawnzone to block the respawns. you will never think it's fair for as long as you are dead

runner - a player that does all not to be killed and doesn't care how many people's time he wastes by being a coward
flagwhore - a human being that forgets the players around him and steals the flag also in single player mode because he thinks it makes him gain points
laxist - a guy who cries "lag" almost everytime he gets killed
spawnkiller - someone who doesn't stop to respawn people (or waits for their respawns) and kills them directly afterwards
teamkiller/TKER/tkiller/tkl - a danger for his teammates
kickfreak - everyone who starts 4 polls against more than 3 different players in less than 10 minutes

Rec - record time, referred to in racing.
Example: I lost all my recs! (which happens to me a lot

)

Cut: short for shortcut in a race amp
Example: I missed the cut! (which happens to me, well you guessed it, a lot!

run - making a run in fortress or sumo. Means following your tail in a specific path, but not as defense. Sweepers and attackers do it a lot.
capped - sealing a tunnel with turns rather than rubber
building a better fortress - training one's defense
++ - agreeing with what someone said
