Explanation of Terms - mang109 - 10-18-2009
So , Ive been playing Disco for a few months now, and am fairly settled into a faction. However I see a few terms being used over and over again here, and im not 100% sure on what they mean - although some of them may seem obvious.
Id love to know the accepted defenitions of
"Lolwutter"
"Powertrading"
"Powergaming"
Thanks
