This is a list of 'Allegiance phenomenons' (otherwise known as Allegiance Meme) that has come about mainly through web forum dialog on Alleg.net and past Allegiance community websites, but in some cases in the actual game itself.
Doninator
A new player who presumably had nothing better to say than his own name (ad infinitum), Doninator received several bans for spamming the chat. However, a cult has developed around the figure, who wear a tag on the Allegiance forum containing "doninator Doninator DONINATOR!", and eagerly await his return (Source needed). Unknown to the cult, Doninator still plays the game under a different nick.
- Example:
- Somebody posts: DONINATOR!
- Lots reply: DONINATOR! DONINATOR! DONINATOR!
Penis Penis
Aeris (or Pos_21), the squad leader of Palidor's Knights, has been known on IRC for having, on several occasions, left his computer unattended and unlocked, while a friend (unbeknownst to Aeris) typed profanities on IRC, posing as Aeris. His friend also decided to log into the Allegiance forums and leave a lengthier post describing, in great detail, Aeris' supposed preference for male genitalia. It was after this incident that Aeris decided to begin locking his computer, saying "Remember kids, windows key + L". His forum thread was promptly deleted.

Two Weeks™
This was originally associated with Your_Persona's confident (and false) prediction several years ago that he would have automated player statistics up and running within two weeks. The phrase gained fame after he failed to produce such a system. Player statistics were eventually added back into the game in a limited form we now see today which is part of the Allegiance ELO ranking system (Source needed).
- Example: FAZ5 will be ready in Two Weeks™
______ IS CHEATING FACE THE FACTS!
This was originally posted in the rants forum several years ago as "KB IS CHEATING FACE THE FACTS!!!", in which the poster considered KB (kill bonus) to be 'cheating' and everybody else needed to 'face facts!', it quickly turned into meme as more and more Allegiance community members began jokingly posting what they thought was cheating (Source needed).
- Example: TEAMWORK IS CHEATING FACE THE FACTS!!1
Snakez
Technoflux heavy interceptors are often called 'Snakez'. This lead to a lot of Technoflux teams getting called "ON A PLANE!"
______ is a LIE!!!
This is seen under various topics, usually when one user is calling another user's facts into question, a third user will post: ________ is a lie!, repeating it some number of times similar to a chant.
- Example: The cake is a LIE!!!

Cookies, Pies and Sandwiches
Users (especially squadded users) sometimes show dominance / submission by requesting that another user make them a sandwich or pie. Some users may show gratitude by stating that they are presenting other users with a cookie. A user that has performed some action that they feel deserves recognition may request a cookie.
- Example: Shiz game me awesome miner D! He gets a cookie!
- Example: STFU, and make me a sandwich!!

+1 / -1
Signifies some sort of agreement to a user's posting, sometimes if a user makes many points in a posting another user will summate the total value of the posting using +1 or -1 syntax.
- Example: Your first point was excellent, +1!
