After seeing many people get in lots of trouble, and not knowing how System Wars is supposed to work, I have decided to start my own guide, which may or may not be made into a thread in the future.

Welcome to System Wars! A land of many Lulz, defeat, ownage, and blood.

Chapter 1: System Wars Basics

Locating System Wars

~Open up the portal of your choice to the land of interwebs. Type "www.gamespot.com" in the messenger bar. Have the magic take you away to the home page of GS. Click on the Forums tab on top, and scroll down to System Wars.

If you're reading this, you're doing it right.

Basic terminology

In the land of System Wars *cough* Sparta!*cough*, we only use english, but there are many different dialects. For example:

~We have the all upper caps. Example : I HATE THE (insert system name here). This is often used to show anger, and is a very dangerous and rarely spoken dialect. (m)

~We have the LOLSpeak. Example : teh waggle on teh Wii is bery lame. This is also a very rare dialect, and often used in the lulz.

~We have the L33T Speak. Exapmle: 1 PWNED j00 en H4l0 3. Very rare dialect in System Wars, and is almost exclusive to newcomers (m)

~We also have the informed speak. Example: This (thing a ma bobber) connects to the (do hickey) which causes (a boom)." Replace these with smart words

*(M) signifies moddable speak. That of which can get you in trouble here at gamespot. For more information on modding, please see a later chapter.

Next come the Fanboy Nicknames

~Cows are those who are devout supporters of the Playstation and its entire franchise(comes from 6th gen characteristics where many accesories were needed to get the full experience, like the multi-tap, additional controllers, hard drives, eye toy, etc. This was called "milking" therefore getting the name "cows")

~ Fakeboys are those who falsely support one system. They are often used to create false hype for new games or products, making a certain type of fanboy look very bad when said product doesn't fully deliver as expected. (m)

~Fanboys are those who support a console, and show extreme disgust for other consoles.

~ Hermits are those who support the PC. (Origin unknown to me, but it would be nice if someone helped me out. I think it has something to do with PC people not being able to find a home amongst teh console gamers.)

~ Lemmings are those who support the Xbox and its entire franchise ( Origin uknown to me)

~ Sheep are those who support the Wii and its entire franchise (Origin uknown to me)

~ Manticores are those who support all systems. Its a rarely used term. Now you see "multi system owners" in place of it.

More to come in later posts

I'd say its a great start.
