Subject: B.Net Definitions and Commonly Used Terms

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Our own Qwid Pro Quo proves yet again that the Urban Dictionary learns its words from those of us who point out the obvious.

Digital Courage clearly applies to most of the forum and especially to matchmaking.

As a thought, what would be your definitions for Bungie.net users, posts, and other things, including matchmaking. If your term is already listed, post a link!I was thinking this applies to most people's responses when they cannot come up with something creative to say... Definition #3 anyway...

Killed by the GuardiansThe result of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of Halo. It is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite Bungie's sincerest efforts has been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, to be Killed by the Guardians.

Halo 3 Forum
An area in which the worst spellers and forum wrecking loonies collaborate. This forum has came to be known as a hell hole in which most but thankfully not all threads need to be eradicated. Some have abandoned the forum to seek refuge in the more forgiving realms of bungie.net.

Recon ArmourAn armour that cannot be unlocked via the conventional means in halo 3 but instead can only be unlocked by bungie themselves upon logging on to XBL under an account which has been rewarded recon. The armour is given to community members who have impressed bungie and bungie staff, many members believe that asking for it will ensure it is given however they are completely wrong. Asking ensures you will not have recon.

Also saying plz and adding a lot of zzzzzzzz does not increase your chances of getting the armour, nor does writing to bungie saying you have a fatal illness such as Sup3r canc3r.

Dictionary / Spell-checkA function of most word press types of software that allows you to correct spelling errors with great speed and accuracy. However domesticated and popular this function may become, it escapes seemingly everyone on B.Net… A permanent affliction that affects even the most poetic of posters and ironically places the most pious of members in their place.

I'm a serious dude, so what?

Spamflex - The reflex posts of forum users after a spam topic has been created. Spamflex usually consists of posts such as "locked" and "sooo reported", and typically extends the life of an idiotic thread until a moderator can crush it.

Nub - A derogatory word used by some for self-aggrandizement. Some people have suggested it implies a new member, however, upon further research no clear parameters for its use can be ascertained. This leads to one conclusion: it applies to everyone online. Unless you're married.

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... - The call a user makes shortly before being banned. ( I wish)

Halo 3 Forum - A place where people can go to learn the ropes of what goes on in an active forum. Beware not to actually post or otherwise interact within this forum because whatever you reply to or post will most likely result in damage to your trust rating.

Bungie.net - The most active, effective, and useful videogame related forum/website resource on the World Wide Web to date.

Achronos - An ageless, timeless despot whose secret algorithms know what you're going to do before you do it.

Bungie Baby - A child (such as brrrayday) who grew up playing Bungie videogames and understands Bungie beyond simple "fandom".

no particular order.

Original - An unfamiliar term to most users, this word is mostly used to describe something that has not been done before. Althought a saught after trait, there has been no known original post, screenshot, glitch, or varient - and no, yours is not the exception.
