Revision as of 07:50, 6 December 2007

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.

WARNING: may not be suitable for work: Image of the now infamous post.

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 interceptorz are often kalled 'Snakez'. Thiz led to a lot of Technoflux teamz getting kalled "ON A PLANE!" This originally emerged around the theater release of the movie and waz modified to reflect the strange speech of Vegeta, the kreator of Technoflux, who'z strange method of speaking actually resulted in a "vegefish" translator plugin. (this thread replicatez a moderately intoxicated Vegeta)

Example: We've got snakez!!

Origin: Mastametz

Source: Vegeta/ "SnakeZ 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!!!

Origin: Portal

Cookies

Some users may show gratitude by stating that they are presenting other users with a cookie. It may also be used as a recognition of a embarrassing moment or failure, in a slightly condescending but friendly manner.

Example: Shiz gets a cookie for ramming that con out
Example: Its okay MrC, have a cookie, we all hit rocks sometimes

Origin: PsycHosis stealing parts of cookie and giving them out (without MrC's knowledge)

Source: MrC "Holder of the Great and Mighty Cookie"

Sandwiches

Users (especially squadded users) sometimes show dominance by requesting that another user make them a sandwich. This is purposefully misspelled to reflect the possibly intoxicated nature of the original post.

Example: STFU, and make me a sammich!!

or commonly seen on the boards

Example: STFU, and make me a sammich noob!

may also be seen in the geek version (Explanation of Sudo)

Example: Sudo, make me a sammich

+1

Also sometimes stated as Postcount +1, refers to users posting in a topic with little or no other purpose as to increase their overall postcount. Sometimes can be used as a joke, but often is seen as a No Commment, or lack of anything to say on account of the post being overly silly, useless, or dead.

Example: Postcount +1

Origin: Unknown Topic on the FAO forums

STFN

This term became the battlecry of many an annoyed vet who watched a clueless newbie fly at a bombrun and only shoot the bomber, completely ignoring the trail of nanite equipped scouts behind it. This has nearly 0 effect in most cases, and merely provides the turrets of said bomber with a free and easy kill.

STFN usually means "Shoot the F***ing NAN!!" or more politely "Shoot the Fracking NAN!!"

Example: STFN <insert randomly applicable curseword>
