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

Tenacity is actually quite correct - you wouldn't know.

Xar, that's metagaming. Powergaming is about "getting the high score".
