Philip had sulkily allowed himself to be dragged into it, and had perched disconsolately in one corner of the group among other maidenless youths.

What I sing in the maidenless tower, no stone-eyed king

Now againſt coming the authority of the Greeke Church, which neuer liked of the maidenleſſe maidenhood of their Prisſts: they anſwer, that Epiphanius a Greek Doctor, telleth them, that they do it against order: doe you hold the skales euen? you haue neither skales nor weights of Scripture, nor you dare ſcarce profeſſe to haue any.

a. 1603, Thomas Cartwright, A Confvtation of the Rhemists Translation, Glosses and Annotations on the Nevv Testament, published 1618, page 39:

There is no species of the class mammalia more frowned upon than old women,—the arrows of disdain and criticism fly pretty sharply about their gray locks. The most polite man in polished society frequently becomes bankrupt of the title when he is called upon to prove his possession of it before an old woman. The young man invariably leaves them to their "maidenless meditations," except when their maternal affections are given to a young, looming and gentle creature of bashful sixteen, who may have but slight objections to the practical example of "exchange" being no "robbery," between a mother and a husband.

1840 September 12, E.E., “A Chapter on Old Women”, in The Albion, volume 2, number 37, page 1, column 2:

But she returned home with the air of a woman. It was in her eyes, in her walk, in her mannerisms, in her voice; a kind of flip sureness; a maidenless insolence which betrayed to me, at least, that she knew all there was to know and, perhaps, then some.

1967, R. Daniel McMichael, The Journal of David Q. Little, New Rochelle, N.Y.: Arlington House, page 275:

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-comboable.wav

As for the lack of variety in fighting styles, shrug, if you say so, I
think they're quite varied. I mean, the wrestlers are both wrestlers,
so yeah, they grab a lot. But one uses spinning roundhouses and
reversals, and flashy kicks and pounces. The other is more comboable
but plainer looking in moves and flash, but terribly efficient...

1996 January 31, CreeD, “Tekken Strategies NO less than VF2”, in rec.games.video.arcade (Usenet):

OTOH, Jam is pretty damn incredible too. You can do some really insane combos with
her, especially after using the d,d + attack powerups. And her Destroy move is

no johns

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-no johns.wav

Coined by Super Smash Bros 64 player Jesse "Zulu" Fuentes in the late 1990s, in reference to his friend John who would often make unconvincing excuses after losing a game.

“No Johns” is such a ubiquitous phrase in the Smash scene that it’s even inspired regional variations around the world. No Stacos. No Tiesos. No Joshis. Igna Yunas, in Swedish. It even made it into Smash itself: One of the “random” names that players can assign themselves in the Wii U and Switch versions of the fighting game is NOJOHNS.

2019 September 16, Cecilia D'Anastasio, “How A High School Smash Bros. Joke Became A World-Famous Saying”, in Kotaku:

Fortniter

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Fortniter.wav

When a clubhouse attendant brought a PlayStation4 to the Suns clubhouse, the dynamic shifted and helped turn some 70% of the team into Fortniters.

2018 May 22, Gabe Lacques, “Popular battle royale video game extends reach to dugout”, in Statesman Journal, volume 167, number 39, page 5C:

An inveterate Fortniter, Price immediately came under media suspicion of going too deep and too late into his video game starts (anybody know the seven-inning equivalent of a twitch count?).

2018 October 7, Kevin Paul Dupont, “Canucks’ games are all on the ice”, in Boston Sunday Globe, volume 294, number 99, page C5:

Make sure your island is 100 percent completed and fully functional before publishing it. If you need to make changes to your island after it’s been published, it will receive a new code. Any Fortniter can then access the Creative Hub,[…].

WoWer

Well, I have to say I was a reluctant WoWer, but I have been into gaming since I was young, before college.

2007 January 28, John Faherty, quoting Luoluo Hong, “Dean of students accomplishes objectives, forms friendships … and then there’s her job”, in The Arizona Republic, 117th year, number 255, page B2:

Yup, World of Warcraft has been an amazing success: a massively multiplayer game that is easy to learn, addictive, and requires months of overuse to master to reach the highest levels to then join guilds to cruise around in packs with other like-minded WoWers.

2011, Andy Kessler, Eat People: And Other Unapologetic Rules for Game-Changing Entrepreneurs, Portfolio / Penguin, →ISBN, page 206:

These guilds and friendships form across age, class, and gender divides, and yet, in the context of the game, all share a collective identity as WoWers.

2020, Marcella Szablewicz, “Carving Out a Spiritual Homeland”, in Mapping Digital Game Culture in China: From Internet Addicts to Esports Athletes (East Asian Popular Culture), Palgrave Macmillan, →ISBN, page 121:

A player of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft.

Nuzlocke

John Locke (Lost)
List of generation III Pokémon#Nuzleaf
Lost (2004 TV series)

Blend of Nuzleaf + Locke. From the title of Nuzlocke Comics, which features a Pokémon, Nuzleaf, drawn to resemble John Locke from Lost as a recurring character.

Here are the rules for a Nuzlocke:
• If a Pokemon faints, it’s dead. You need to release it, store it in a box for the rest of the run, or transfer it to another game. You can’t use it until you’ve successfully become the Pokemon League Champion and completed the Nuzlocke.
• You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each location. This includes caves, towns, routes, and so on - if the area has an official title, it counts as an independent location where you can capture one single Pokemon, provided it’s the first one you come across. If you make it faint or it flees, you can’t catch a new one - no second chances. This doesn’t apply to static encounters, although using Legendary Pokemon is frowned upon. You can catch Shiny Pokemon regardless of the rules, although the consensus on whether or not they’re allowed to be used is widely disputed.

2021 January 8, Cian Maher, “The Nuzlocke Challenge Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Classic Pokemon”, in The Gamer, archived from the original on 2022-09-19:

(Pokémon) A self-imposed challenge where the player can only catch the first wild Pokémon encountered in each area, and any caught Pokémon that faints cannot be used again.

Ok now that Ive done two impromptu nuzlockes of games outside Pokemon (Mario Odyssey and Kirby Super Star). Im starting to think where else I can push it lol
Splatoon 2 Nuzlocke? Start from fresh save file and try to make it to X rank. If you lose a match you lose that weapon 🤔

(by extension) A similarly challenging playthrough of any game other than Pokémon.

Still, it’s not just the decline of civilisation that worries me, nor the (related) effect on Tube manners (Candy Crushers are rarely very chivalrous). Moreover, you could argue that if it wasn’t for smartphones, it would be Sudoku or crosswords or scrimshaw.

2014 March 26, Richard Goodwin, “Candy Crush is the crystal meth of the commute”, in Evening Standard, page 17:

It is open to everyone-from hardcore gamers to Candy Crushers and role-playing adventurers.

FarmViller

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-FarmViller.wav

My roommates and I have become diehard FarmVillers.

2009 November 19, Elena Shufelt, “Farming it all away: One writer examines what’s it like to be down on the Facebook farm”, in Reporter, Minnesota State University, Mankato:

Les Hulcoop, a recently retired Dutchess Cornell Cooperative Extension agriculture educator, said the number of Web-based “Farmvillers”^([sic]) vs. real farmers is 60:1.

2010 March 23, Sarah Bradshaw, “Facebook seen as tool for reaching tomorrow’s farmers”, in Poughkeepsie Journal, 225th year, number 189, page 5B:

"There's a girl I went to school with, and who I never speak to, but I now fertilise her crops for her," she says. To the uninitiated, this behaviour might seem bizarre, but hardened FarmVillers say all of this helps you win extra points and prizes.

2010 March 25, Rajini Vaidyanathan, “Down on the FarmVille”, in BBC News, archived from the original on 2010-03-26:

FarmVillers total something like 1% of the world’s population!

2010 April 23, Bill Scott, “Discombobulating thingamajigs”, in Daily Herald-Tribune, Grande Prairie, Alta., page 42:

In addition to marathon planting and harvesting, a Farmviller^([sic]) can earn coin and experience points by helping friends with their farms.

2010 April 25, Mark LaFlamme, “Ah, life in Farmville”, in Sun Journal, Lewiston, Me., section b, page 4:

There’s a new hybrid of online gamer. They live on Facebook, flooding our news feeds with updates and friend requests. You might know one. They’re called ‘The Farmvillers,’^([sic]) and there are 75 million of them.

2010 June, Katie Mackay, “Farmville: Are we addicted?”, in Impact, number 204, page 60:

The first question that springs to mind is: are Google+ users going to be similar to Facebook’s? That’s a hard question to answer but an important one nonetheless. Why would people leave the comfort of their familiar and well inhabited social platform to move to Google’s? (No one believes Google will attract a lot of social virgins.) Are these the FarmVillers? Considering the way Google+ is being positioned, you might think “no, they’re not”.

2011 Q3, “GoogleVille: Will Google+ Games Be Anything Like Their Facebook Counterparts?”, in Control: Magazine for the Games Industry, 7th international edition, page 21, column 2:

Farmvillers^([sic]) must plant something called a Serve Money Tree to see a sign-up promotion for the card, linked to a Serve account.

2012 May 22, Catherine New, “FarmVille Gets Its Own American Express Prepaid Card”, in HuffPost, archived from the original on 2019-02-06:

Despite being categorized as mind-numbing inculcation of repetitive behavior (Liszkiewicz, 2010), Farmvillers^([sic]) derive a great deal of pleasure from the activities associated with farming but also with the pattern of sociality that is architecturally driven into the game space where “code is law” (Lessig, 1999).

2014, Benjamin Burroughs, “Facebook and FarmVille: A Digital Ritual Analysis of Social Gaming”, in Games and Culture, →DOI:

The social gaming world of Farmville can be taken for inspiration, as a familiar visualization tool and community-building platform for the maintenance of a farm and its related social transactions. The game world simulates the development of a virtual plot of land, and also provides opportunities for individual Farmvillers^([sic]) to collaborate and form social bonds.

2015 October 15, FarmShare, “FarmShare White Paper”, in Medium, archived from the original on 2015-12-22:

That hack exposed the usernames and passwords of 170 million Farmville,^([sic]) Words With Friends, and other mobile game players everywhere. […] Bet you regret building your agrarian empire now, farmvillers!^([sic])

2020 January 7, Rachel Kraus, “Yes, Hackers Might Have Your Apple ID, But Don't Stress Too Much”, in Mashable, archived from the original on 2020-01-07:

A player of the agriculture-simulation social network game FarmVille.

Mostly whiteshirts, from initiate Healers to patrolmen to Electors and ArchPaladins in full battle gear.

2010, Tim Akers, The Horns of Ruin, Amherst, N.Y.: Pyr, →ISBN, page 266:

It's best if you can find a friend or some players to help you out with each quests for Archpaladin.

2019 August 1, SyedXD123, the_beast69, “What Class?”, in reddit.com:

History was wrought romanticised tales of grand crusades lead by heroic Archpaladins of old, spreading God's word to the dark and corrupt corners of the kingdom through their might and zeal.

2021, C. R. Butterworth, The Exile, Liberation (Book 1), C. R. Butterworth:

Things like using Archpaladin to mitigate true damage, or recommending Health Vamp on farming classes that don't benefit from it.

2022 February 18, xiaomole, “Combatting Misinformation”, in reddit.com:

RuneScaper

Providing a time and place can be the first step in building some community with and among your players; if you get all your RuneScapers together in the training center once a week for an hour, it’s going to turn into a genuine event before you know it.

The interface of creating an account enacts the assemblage; it is the gift that inaugurates the being of a runescaper^([sic]) (or run-e-scapist if you like).

2010, Joost Van Loon, “Networked Being: Transactions in On-line Gaming Communities”, in Parallax, volume 16, number 1, →DOI, pages 19–27:

Among us are a diverse populous of Beliebers, photographers, flat earthers, snowboarders, National voters, Armenians, coffee drinkers, Runescapers,^([sic]) wheelchair users, Muslims, bloggers and Ultimate players.

Dutch RuneScaper MarioSonic visited the company for this reason in 2019. RuneScape was a place where MarioSonic felt like himself.

If we talk about OSRS, it became a major hit and you can just see that from the sheer amount of players the game has, which is more than 70% of the whole RuneScape players combined as the RuneScapers just love the old school vibe.

MMORPGer

The author immersed herself in the game and the online gaming culture; in doing so she discovered who these MMORPGers really are, and in these pages she destroys many stereotypes about the gamers.

2007, Choice, American Library Association, page 826:

I also know hard-core MMORPGers who tell me, “Do not ever get into WoW. It’s why I don’t have a girlfriend— or a life.”

2009, Carrie Tucker, I Love Geeks: The Official Handbook, Adams Media, →ISBN:

To the MMORPGer, the single-player video game in which you blow up pixilated alien spacecraft is not only antiquated but dull as dishwater because you're all alone and nothing more than the muzzle of a laser gun. […] MMORPGers will play one of their games for years, without ever reaching an “end” or “winning,” because it's about more than winning or reaching a high score.

2010, Kate Stevens, Freak Nation: A Field Guide to 101 of the Most Odd, Extreme, and Outrageous American Subcultures, Adams Media, →ISBN:

But as a scientist, who is also a parent, an avid television watcher, and an MMORPG-er, I cannot in good conscience issue an across-the-board dictum that children should avoid television and gaming altogether.

2010, Esther Yoder Strahan, Wallace E. Dixon, Jr., J. Burton Banks, Parenting with Reason: Evidence-Based Approaches to Parenting Dilemmas, Routledge, →ISBN:

The first study, by Metcalf and Pammer (2011), used a modified Stroop task to investigate the existence of attentional bias for gaming-related words in excessive Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Gamers (MMORPGers). […] Results showed that excessive MMORPGers had attentional bias toward negative and MMORPG words.

Regardless of how you do or don’t play games—whether you are an MMORPGer, a console gamer, a D&Der, a Settlers of Catan enthusiast, or someone who has never gamed before but who is perhaps curious about gaming or instructional design—I hope that in reading this book you will find a lens that will be useful to you in your own life, whether for teaching, writing, learnining, training, game development, or simply the enjoyment of games.

Ellison began to rattle off the list of cliques as he pointed to each table with his sandwich. “The Potheads, Preps, Socially-Awkwards, Nerds, World-of-Warcrafters, Lax-Bros, and the Footballers.” The World-of-Warcrafters sitting at the table next to us overheard him and smirked. A few stood up and did a little cheer while making signs of the letter W with their fingers.

Only adults use normal television these days. I’m going to stream via gaming channels. Kids all over the world are hooked up. And don’t worry - it’s not just going out to the World of Warcrafters.

2011, C T Furlong, Killer Star, Inside Pocket, →ISBN, page 6:

It was almost laughable how cliché the guys seemed. I saw video gamers who stared down the camera like it was trying to snatch their Mountain Dew and Ho-Hos away from them. Chill, World of Warcrafters! You’re trying to get a date, not ransack my castle. (Is that even what happens in the game? I’m not sure. The only video games I’ve ever played are from the Mario Brothers franchise.)

Massive Multiplayers / Here is where the noble World of Warcraft player sits. […] Uh. World-of-Warcrafters sit right here, below yawning commuters idly thumbing Android Bejeweled Clone #32, because, precisely, I'm talking about The Real World.

World of Warcrafters, LARPers, Settlers of Catan? Weird. Beliebers, Swifties, Directioners? Weirder. Paleos, vegans, carb loaders, ovolactovegetarians? Definitely weird. Face it. We’re all weird. So why are companies still trying to build products for the masses? Why are we still acting like the masses even exist? Weird is the new normal. And only companies that figure that out have any chance of survival. In this book, Seth Godin shows you how.

Warcrafter

Within a few weeks of its release, avid Warcrafters had uploaded dozens of home-brew scenarios, filling up the file areas of online services and bulletin boards. […] Warcraft II may be the current king of the scenario editing hill, but the battle is far from over.

(Can we date this quote?), Computer Gaming World:

734 Maps for Warcraft II, from newcomer Cybertooth Technology, offers exactly—wild guess here—734 new maps for map-starved Warcrafters, including hundreds designed specifically for multiplayer battle.

“Abandon all hope of a real life, all ye who enter here.” There’s no warning label like that on the “Warcraft III” box, but there should be. […] So I took a crash course at the elbow of a veteran Warcrafter, who offered his expertise to get me started in the latest incarnation of the game.

To players, this equates to smooth, stable and secure Internet-based gameplay with thousands of other Warcrafters, simultaneously, in that communal orgy of ogre-slaying way of MMORPGs. World of Warcraft is undergoing extensive beta testing with retail launch scheduled for October.

2004 September 3, The Palm Beach Post, volume 96, number 147, page 19:

Not liking the thought of jail, some of the biggest private servers disbanded. Toxic Wow, Ani Wow, Wowfusion, Wowscape: all gone. This, many Warcrafters believed, was the beginning of the end.

2010 April, Pavel Barter, “Are You Being Served?”, in PC Zone, page 16:

If you've played World of Warcraft you'll know it's not the most restrained social arena (particularly if you're trying to annihilate Kaz'rogal in the Battle for Mount Hyjal) and the prospect of online altercations spilling over into the real world scared many people. […] Some respondents during the ensuing 2,000-page discussion on this topic dared to suggest that privacy wasn't really an issue, but they were forced to eat their words when a Blizzard employee, after revealing his real name in defence of the system, suddenly found his phone number, address, details of his parents, siblings and spouse, and even pictures of his childhood home posted online by Warcrafters trying to make a point.
