 **Autism** is a superhuman condition that [[Falklands|most]] [[onions|/int/]][[thespookybone|craft]] [[roguelich|players]] have. Players with this condition are immune to propaganda and have obscenely high server playtimes during iterations, but suffer from allergies to women, grass, and social interaction.
-Someone or something that is **autistic** is associated with extreme dedication, often to an unhealthy extent. As Rolling Stone puts it, "the term 'autist' is used in online cultures as a multipurpose pejorative, often to describe someone with hyperfocus".((https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/all-american-nazis-628023/))

 Acronym for **Casus belli**, a reason for declaring war. Recent iterations require a nation to usually come up with a "good enough" CB that fits the iteration larp before declaring war on another nation.

+===== Diplojewing =====
+**Diplojewing** involves manipulating the politics of the server or even the community to achieve a particular goal. Diplojews are often one of the leading figures in a faction. Methods of diplojewing heavily depend on the individual, and often vary in nefariousness.

-===== Ghoul doctrine / Ghoulifate =====
+===== Ghoul doctrine, Ghouliphate =====
-The "Ghoul doctrine" is a recruitment strategy whereby a town leader invites any and every newly-joined, unaffiliated player to his town. A "ghoulifate" is a large town or nation whose population was largely recruited via the strategy. Ghoulifates are usually weaker in warfare than their population numbers suggest, due to the minimally low bar for entry. They have been less effective in recent years due to the rise of [[metagroups]].

 ===== Greeking =====
-**Greeking**, **naked greeking**, or **grieging**, refers to the practice of going into combat without armor. A "greek" is a player engaged in greeking. In its strictest sense, greeking is PvPing with no armor and a stone axe as a weapon, often as a last-ditch attempt to defend a town during a siege. In more recent iterations with custom weapons, other cheap weapons can be used instead of stone axes. "Gun greeking" is a variant where the greek is armed with a gun.

 ===== Memeraiding =====
-**Memeraiding** is the act of travelling to a town for any given reason to simply kill its players. Breaking or placing blocks in other towns is disabled during non-war weekdays, so memeraids are typically the only source of combat during these intermediate periods. Skilled **memeraiders** often act alone or in small groups, and use various tactics and in-game exploits to get as close to their targets as possible. Memeraids are usually done from the desire to extract loot, spread propaganda, demoralize enemies, or just from sheer excitement. Memeraiders are often vilified by defenders, and excessive memeraiding has the potential to shape the politics of a server.

 Memeraids have been historically distinguished from regular "raids" in that it is intended to be "just a meme", i.e. not an act of warfare and just having fun, and are usually not authorized by the memeraider's town leader. However, in recent times, the term "memeraiding" has become synonymous with simply raiding, and the degree to which a memeraid is taken lightly varies greatly by recipient.

+===== Pre-server diplo =====
+The act of 'diplojewing' before a server officially releases. Oftentimes performed weeks if not months in advance, depending of the player. Many experienced players in the community denounce the practice and claim it can waste the energy of those who participate in it and cause them to be burned out before the server even opens. Some jannies have gone as far as placing a nominal ban on the practice, to little effect.

 ===== Warlogging =====
-**Warlogging** is the act of simply logging off, or intentionally choosing to not log in, during times of war. On Towny iterations, which usually required a minimum of 2 online players for a town to be sieged, warlogging was a strategy to avoid being conquered. It was, therefore, against the rules on some iterations. Although the practice has no strategic or legal consequence on modern Nodes servers, it is still sometimes done to avoid the humiliation of directly losing a battle. Warloggers are usually criticized by their prospective opponents.
