(about devouring souls), and crocheting (with its garpikes). His friends call him Pikey.

Beta-Tester - Lucky sonofabitch who deserves to die. Also see Parias,
Martog, TeTBCN.
Bitch Tank1 - Fuel tank mounted that puts you over standard weight, with the intention of only using it for travel,
jettisoning it upon entry to combat. Common Japanese technique.

CE - Short for Connection Error.
Cheddar/Bringing the Cheddar4 - Artillery fire.

Clip-Dumping3 - Hitting the Magazine Change button to replace the current clip with a new one,
even if it's not empty, for the purpose of negating the burst reload time and allowing you to shoot multiple times in a row. Particularly devastating when used with a
TR, as it allows for almost 6 shots at once, causing 3200 damage.

fewer CEs.

Ragnarok1 - Theoretical last day of LoC campaign before everyone's profiles are erased
or the servers go down. And lo, the mighty Alphapike doth ride across the battlefield, his mighty pikes gleaming with a red
tint from the blood of slain newbie and vet alike, his lips moist from the fresh souls of many a would-be Ninja. The mighty
leather jacket-clad Inaba will rise from Valhalla and be struck down by the wrath of Acuminous for his flakey attitude towards
his projects, the people rejoicing his fall as the very sky crumbles and the isle of Hai Shi Dao descends into the mighty ocean, swallowed up forever until someone discovers a good
way to spoof the game. And the mighty Alphapike shall rest, waiting until once more, he shall rise up for the final battle....
