Help Corner : XBlast Dictionary . . . . . . . . . . Intro If you want to understand XBlast and the philosophy behind it, you'll have to master the terminology of XBlast used by the real XBlasters. To facilitate this tremendous task, I [Stn] compiled a small dictionary with the most important terms. (The idea and most content of this page is from Stn, thanks a lot !) . . . . . . . . . . Aim Naturally, every player has a different aim when playing. Baiscally, we have 5 different player types: The alpha-player. He tries to actually win the game, an attitude which earns him the disdain of the other players. The beta-player. His primary aim is to keep a particular player from winning, and he tries to achieve this by using the sniper-tactics against this player, without any consideration for the general situation. The gamma-player. He tries to prolong the game as a whole, which means that he always uses the sniper-tactics against the leading player. The delta-player. He simply wants to have fun. Usually achieves this through applying the SWS-tactics and laughing at his opponents, especially at those representing type beta and gamma. The epsilon-player. He has no clue as to how to play in civilized way, and therefore runs around, dropping bombs without plan, thus appearing to be similar to those using the SWS-tactics. comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Bomb A device constructed in order to prove that peaceful coexistence is impossible. comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Enemy Everybody who has the unfortune to be in the reach of your weaponery. This may sometimes include your teampartner. On the other hand, if he is a worthy partner, he'll stay in a safe distance. comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Friend Everybody who has the fortune to be out of the reach of your weaponery comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Idiot Any player who, when being in the final stage of a level, loses against the personal enemy of myself, thus allowing this player to win the level and the game, or any player who, after being hit lethally by my ingenious strategics, droppes a bomb, killing me as well comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Nice Guy Any player who, when being in the final stage of a level, loses against me, thus allowing me to win the level and the game, or any player who, after being hit lethally with a bomb dropped by a pure streak of luck from any other player (exluding myself) droppes a bomb, killing the other one as well. comment : from Stn . . . . . . . . . . Shrink The natural enemy of the Hasenfuss-player. Ensures that he doesn't win often. comment : from Stn
