/int/craft, being a 4chan server, inherits the lexicon of 4chan. The playerbase has also developed some of its own slang over the years.

A janny or more uncommonly a madmin refers to players of higher authority in a server. Both a server's moderators and developers are typically referred to as jannies. Some especially dedicated incels may act as head janny and server developer at the same time.

They work for free, by the way.

Autism is a superhuman condition that most /int/craft 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”.¹⁾

Backclaiming or backcapping involves capturing undefended territory during war, often away from the frontlines. Became common on Nodes iterations.

A buildfag is a player who is a good builder. As a verb, buildfagging is synonymous with just “building”.

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.

Ded serb, short for “dead server”, is a meme phrase originating from the earliest of iterations that mocks low playercounts or servers nearing their natural conclusions. Also commonly memed by disgruntled players for a variety of reasons such as a disliked admin or mechanic.

Common derivatives include: “ded srbr”, “dead nigger”, “deceased serbian”, “alive serb” (rare)

“ded serb reset when”

Also donions.

Refers to the former admin, Onions (e.g. “Onions is doneions”). Also sometimes used on its own, e.g. “We're so doneions if they attack us.”

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.

Named after Coolghoul, an ancientfag who pioneered the doctrine, and specifically his 4.0 nation of the Caliphate.²⁾

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.

Named in honor of some players of a town in Greece on an ancient iteration, who, as the legend goes, successfully defeated a siege of their town by several fully-kitted players despite being armed with nothing but stone axes themselves.

“They're just greeking at this point, they must be out of ammo”

“I just killed 3 greeks”

Jinxing refers to the underhanded practice of joining a town just to steal gear from the town chests, and then leaving. A form of “insiding”. Against the rules on some iterations. Named after oldfag player HeyItsJinx.

“That newfag just jinxed us”

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.

Historically notorious memeraiders:

• XDA1, his Twilight Sparkle skin struck fear into the hearts of many
• Numried, highly skilled pvper
• maybee, (aliases niggum_killum, raiding_sperg) highly skilled pvper
• TerriBirdBBQ (highly unsuccessful)
• NcordoGang, known for memeraiding towns into submission to expand political influence
• Strykergang
• Norse

A metagroup is a common group of players who have played together in the same towns or nations across multiple iterations.

A territory in a Nodes map is often referred to as a node. A “node” more properly refers to a resource node within a territory.

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.
