I don't care if English is your first language or not, FOR ALL OF YOUR INFORMATIONS, don't say "suchandsuch flagged me" or "do you flag me" BECAUSE IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS FUCKING RETARDED.
Honest suggestion to destroy anyone that says this. Discuss. |

Suck on that one fuckers. |

at 1:04 AM, Wednesday February 10, 2010 EST i always enjoy employing the dasstab by appearing to vflag early to someone like:
monte: flag noob noob: ok (ten turns pass and i have +32 then attack him) noob: wtf, dont backstab me monte: wtf you talking about, i ordered you to flag and you said ok. then you never put up a flag. so put it up already and ill stop attacking. noob: wtf, i didnt flag to you, you flagged to me monte: "monte: flag noob" ... i was using the imperative, moron noob: $%@#$@#$% |

but then i thought: wtf! 'flagging TO someone' isn't much more proper then 'flagging someone'. Cause if you browse the different meanings of 'to flag' (like to mark, to become weak, to decoy) it really makes no sense to say 'i flag to you'. bottom line: you can flag my ass |

at 2:19 AM, Wednesday February 10, 2010 EST I would argue that in kdice To Flag = give someone else a higher place typically 1st, since flags have known to be reneged if said recipient of the flag doesn't win.
It's a game specific definition that wont catch on in any real dictionary. |

at 10:38 AM, Wednesday February 10, 2010 EST I use poor english as a tool to be nebulous and allow for better pretext to kill people. If you are trying to be clear though being a moron isn't the best way to get people to respect your flag.
