attempt to cause damage, injury, or death

Combat in Mimesis Online is nice and simple. You click on your target […] and then keep right-clicking your chosen attack from the drop down menu. Every time you right click on the attack, your character will swing, shoot, etc.

2002 March, Aaron Butler, “Mimesis Online (PC)”, in GameSpy.com, archived from the original on 2002-12-16:

Kleavor has several attacks that it's worth roughly memorising: a charge attack, where it runs at you quickly; a jump attack, that causes a pillar of rock to spike out from under the ground; and a spin attack that does damage in a circle around it.

2022 January 28, Chris Tapsell, “Pokémon Legends Arceus Kleavor boss fight: How to beat Kleavor”, in Eurogamer.ner:

cheese (third-person singular simple present cheeses, present participle cheesing, simple past and past participle cheesed)

cheeses (present singular third-person)
cheesing (participle present)
cheesed (participle past)
cheesed (past)

You can cheese most of the game using certain exploits.

The term cheesing is also pretty common. However, at least originally, ticking had a more specific meaning, ie hitting someone and then throwing after they block, whereas cheesing would be anything "cheap", and thereore depended on the user [...]

1993, Alex Werner, alt.games.sf2 (Usenet):

The moral of the story is, real strategy doesn't apply in WH40K. Find out where your opponent cheesed himself up and hit him there with everything you've got.

2000, cyber...@my-deja.com, rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (Usenet):

"Cheesing" means to shoot for the 9-ball (in 9-ball) before being on the 9-ball (i.e. shooting at the 1-ball to hit the 9-ball in). Basically if you can do it, you'll win the game (but perhaps not much respect).

2001, Samiel, rec.sport.billiard (Usenet):

For example, he was accused of "cheating" when he modified his in-game play techniques—without the use of cheat codes—but in ways that were unexpected to his opponents. Taking these actions (called cheesing by some in game play discourse) was unexpected, because the actions diverged from courses of action perceived as normal in the real-world activity the game simulated.

A derivative is 餃 (“stuffed dumpling”), named for its horn-like shape (Norman, 1988).

nick

en-verb

nick (third-person singular simple present nicks, present participle nicking, simple past and past participle nicked)

nicks (present singular third-person)
nicking (participle present)
nicked (participle past)
nicked (past)

The noun is derived from Late Middle English nik (“notch, tally; nock of an arrow”). Its further etymology is unknown; a connection with nock (“notch in a bow to hold the bowstring; notch at the rear of an arrow that fits the bowstring; cleft in the buttocks”) has not been clearly established.
The verb appears to be derived from the noun, though the available evidence shows that some of the verb senses predate the noun senses. No connection with words in Germanic languages such as Danish nikke (“to nod”), Middle Dutch nicken (“to bend; to bow”) (modern Dutch knikken (“to nod”)), Middle Low German nicken (“to bend over; to sink”), Middle High German nicken (“to bend; to depress”) (modern German nicken (“to nod”)), Middle Low German knicken (“to bend; to snap”) (modern German knicken (“to bend; to break”), Old Frisian hnekka (“to nod”), and Swedish nicka (“to nod”), has been clearly established.

My old luck: I never nick'd ſeven that I did not throw ames ace three times following.

1773, [Oliver] Goldsmith, She Stoops to Conquer: Or, The Mistakes of a Night. A Comedy. […], London: […] F[rancis] Newbery, […], →OCLC, Act III, page 63:

The points to nick each main have been mentioned before, and the table on dice will show how many chances there are to throw each of these points with 2 dice, which together form the numerator, and 36 (being all the chances on 2 dice) the denominator of the fraction that expresses the probability. If 5 is the main, 5 will be the only nick, and the chances to throw 5 being 4, ⁴⁄₃₆ is the probability, which is 8 to 1 against nicking 5, and the same against nicking 9.

What are the Probabilities of Nicking each Main?”, in The Doctrine of Chances, or The Theory of Gaming, Made Easy to Every Person Acquainted with Common Arithmetic, […], London: Printed by Gye & Balne, […], for the author, published by Lackington, Allen & Co.

When you start RPGing, you describe an action your character is taking. Sometimes your DM will interject, asking you to make a test for success (typically a dice roll).

None of them really wanted to game without Beth. For one, it didn’t seem fair, and for another, the facts that she had a great imagination and really no concept of how RPGing was “supposed” to work meant she sprang stuff on the group that had livened up the games no end.

main (third-person singular simple present mains, present participle maining, simple past and past participle mained)

mains (present singular third-person)
maining (participle present)
mained (participle past)
mained (past)

From Middle English mayn, main, maine, mæin, meyn, from main (noun) (see further at etymology 2); compare Old English mæġen (“strong, main, principal”) (used in combination) and Old Norse megn, megenn (“strong, main”).
The word is cognate with Old High German megīn (“strong, mighty”) (modern German Möge, Vermögen (“power, wealth”)), and also akin to Old English magan (“to be able to”). See also may.

I had such a run of luck last night, with five for the main, and seven to five all night, until those ruffians wanted to pay me with Altamont’s bill upon me. The luck turned from that minute. Never held the box again for three mains, and came away cleared out, leaving that infernal cheque behind me.

Everybody likes to second‐guess computers, including who seed the pros. Nothing could have better exposed the vulnerability of the computer seeding than the spectacle of clay‐court experts looking like weekend hackers on grass.

rare

From Middle English rare, from Old French rare, rere (“rare, uncommon”), from Latin rārus (“loose, spaced apart, thin, infrequent”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- (“friable, thin”). Replaced native Middle English gesen (“rare, scarce”) (from Old English gǣsne), Middle English seld (“rare, uncommon”) (from Old English selden), and Middle English seldscene (“rare, rarely seen, infrequent”) (from Old English seldsēne).

cog

Most of the time, you do this by trading low-valued rares for more valuable ones or trading uncommons for rares. Other times it's trading cards that are in print for ones that are out of print, or low-value rares for good uncommons.

1995, George Baxter, Larry W. Smith, Mastering Magic Cards, page 116:


aggro

From a clipping of aggravation + -o (diminutive suffix), influenced by aggressive.

To reduce one player's aggro level, the other must build up his own.

2007, Bendik Stang, Morten A. Osterholt, Erik Hoftun, The Book of Games Volume 2: The Ultimate Reference on PC & Video Games, page 98:

What isn't so gimmicky is the Aggro System, where you draw fire onto yourself by acting aggressive, while your partner sneaks off blindsiding distracted enemies. Aggro depends on how big your current weapon is and how often you act aggressive.

We asked for an ability to trasnfer^([sic]) our aggro to another player—were told that could cause some abuse.

2010, Luke Cuddy, John Nordlinger, editors, World of Warcraft and Philosophy: Wrath of the Philosopher King, page 187:

(gaming) A measure of how belligerent a player is – a high value may inspire either avoidance or preemptive hostile action from enemies.

You just pulled aggro off the tank and wiped the raid.

(gaming) Hostile attention from an enemy that should target players with better defenses.

I aggroed the dragon by stealing from its hoard, and it killed me.

(gaming, transitive) To cause (a non-player character) to become aggressive towards the player's character.

irritar

to make a non-player character hostile towards one


melee

en-noun

melee (countable and uncountable, plural melees)

Borrowed from French mêlée, from Old French meslee, feminine past participle of mesler (“to mix”), derived from Latin misceō (“mix”). Doublet of medley.

Honestly, a lot of what this episode did right had more to do with the scenes that surrounded the enormous melee than those hyper-edited clashes of swords.

2019 April 28, Alex McLevy, “Game Of Thrones Suffers the Fog of War in the Battle against the Dead (Newbies)”, in The A.V. Club, archived from the original on 2021-05-31:

The attack also afforded Helena to a front-seat view of literal air-to-air melee combat, as one Wildcat pilot of the Cactus Air Force, who was swooping in to help break up the attack, found himself out of machine-gun ammo; instead, he dropped his landing gear, positioned himself above the nearest bomber, and begun beating it to death, in midair, using his landing gear as clubs. After a bit of evasive action that the fighter easily kept up with, the repeated slamming broke something important, and the bomber spiralled down into the sea.

2021 March 10, Drachinifel, 5:50 from the start, in Guadalcanal Campaign - The Big Night Battle: Night 1 (IJN 3(?) : 2 USN), archived from the original on 2022-10-17:

(especially military, gaming) A battle fought at close range, (especially) one not involving ranged weapons; hand-to-hand combat; brawling.


melee

A melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a ranged weapon is used to attack a target at a distance.

2018, Wizards of the Coast, Basic Rules for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e):

(gaming) Of a weapon: used in close-range combat.

(slang, gaming) Alternative form of あと (ato, “remaining”)


chit

From chitty, from Hindi चिट्ठी (ciṭṭhī, “letter, note, written message”). Doublet of cure.

bor

1.4.3 Also on the board, but turned face down at the beginning of the game, are chits representing treasure sites and sounds and warnings of monsters that may arrive on the map. When characters end a turn in the hex, these chits are revealed. As characters move around the board, more and more of these chits will be revealed, letting the players know where monsters and treasures are to be found.

2005, Richard Hamblen, Teresa Michelsen, Stephen McKnight, The unofficial, updated Third Edition of the Magic Realm Rules:

(gaming) A smaller cardboard counter generally used not to directly represent something but for another, more transient, purpose such as tracking or randomization.


player

From Middle English pleyer, playere, from Old English pleġere (“player, athlete, wrestler”), from Proto-West Germanic *plegārī. Equivalent to play + -er.

inh

The player is free to create their own narrative within a much larger set of possible designed narrative options, or, given the geographic and dialogical openness of Morrowind, to refuse the creation of any narrative but their own and wander aimlessly through the game.

2015, Angus Slater, “Prophecy, Pre-destination, and Free-form Gameplay: The Nerevarine Prophecy in Bethesda’s ‘Morrowind’”, in Online: Heidelberg Journal of Religions on the Internet, volume 7, →DOI, page 175:

stack (third-person singular simple present stacks, present participle stacking, simple past and past participle stacked)

stacks (present singular third-person)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-I learned some phrases-stack.wav

From Middle English stack, stacke, stakke, stak, from Old Norse stakkr (“a barn; haystack; heap; pile”), from Proto-Germanic *stakkaz (“a barn; rick; haystack”).
The data structure sense is a calque of Dutch stapel, introduced by Edsger W. Dijkstra. Cognate with Icelandic stakkur (“stack”), Swedish stack (“stack”), Danish stak (“stack”), Norwegian stakk (“stack”). Related to stake and sauna.

натрупвам

To place objects or material in the form of a stack

A magical widget will double your mojo. And yes, they do stack: if you manage to get two magical widgets, your mojo will be quadrupled. With three, it will be octupled, and so forth.


bestiary

Borrowed from Medieval Latin bēstiārium, from Latin bēstia (“beast, animal”). By surface analysis, beast + -ary.

(gaming) A list or guidebook of the monsters to be found in a roleplaying game.


twink

I certainly don't consider myself a twink; however it seems that anyone who doesn't agree with another's point of view is automatically labelled as such.

1997, Flower of the Night, “Looking for a mud”, in rec.games.mud.diku (Usenet):

You will not find any stock. You will not find any easy mobs. You will not find any +100 dam 'big swords of I win'. You will not find twink mudders. You will not hear about how Jim the Kewl dOOd scored last night at his sister's birthday party. You will not find bots.

1997, Gov't Cheeze, “[AD/REQUEST] Builders and Players (twinks need not apply)”, in rec.games.mud.admin (Usenet):

Bind-on-account was an innovation that allowed players to transfer goods to their own twinks, but not to those of other players.

2015, Richard A. Bartle, MMOs from the Inside Out, page 154:

Characters who were obvious twinks, possessing equipment well beyond their means, were subject to public criticism.

2016, Timothy Rowlands, Video Game Worlds: Working at Play in the Culture of EverQuest, page 71:

(gaming, derogatory) A player (or character created by a player) in a multi-user dungeon or other roleplaying game who engages in obnoxious or abusive behaviour, especially one who uses a higher-level character to give advanced equipment to one of their own lower-level characters.


twink

twinks (present singular third-person)
twinking (participle present)
twinked (participle past)
twinked (past)

Twinking happens in virtual worlds with PD, but not to the same extent.

2004, Richard A. Bartle, Designing Virtual Worlds, page 429:

However, the taboo surrounding twinking had all but disappeared by the time I started playing again in 2004.

2016, Timothy Rowlands, Video Game Worlds: Working at Play in the Culture of EverQuest:

He used real money to buy large amounts of in-game gold then 'twinked' his new character with the best gear, upgrading as his level rapidly increased.

2018, Adam Drake, Shadow For Hire Books 1-4:

That the twinked little brat doesn't want to mention that the only reason she won a single game was that daddy cut her a fat check.

2020, Alex Maven, ForeverQuest: Online Battle Arena:

roly-poly

en-noun

roly-poly (countable and uncountable, plural roly-polys or roly-polies)

roly-polys (plural)
roly-polies (plural)

/ˌɹəʊlɪˈpəʊli/

The noun is apparently derived from roll (“to turn over and over”) + -y (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘having the quality of’), reduplicated with a change of the initial consonant. Compare rolly (“having the ability to roll, rolling”, adjective), which is attested since the 19th century.
Sense 1.7 (“mischievous or worthless person”) is possibly influenced by poll (“head; (archaic) scalp; (by extension) person”).
The adjective and adverb are attested later than the noun, and so are probably derived from it.
