Spawn Pacing

A gaming strategy (usually seen in RPGs) that is tedious for the player and bizarre-looking to anyone else watching the game, in which the controllable character is maneuvered back and forth in the same space on the map in an attempt to generate some sort of event. Typically, this is done as part of grinding procedure, in hopes that a minor enemy or resource will spawn.

I'm attempting the genocide route in Undertale, but I'm doing a lot of spawn pacing waiting to kill all the enemies. Who thought cold-blooded murder would be so boring?

Pre-Shot Spawning

When crosshair spawning happens, and the person is already shooting as you spawn in, so you die instantly

Are you fucking kidding?! I hate pre-shot spawning!

spawn whore

A person who sits outside an objective mostly in battlefield games and allows his teammates to spawn on him. A spawn whore doesn't attack the objective themselves rather sits outside and continues to allow his teammates to spawn and attack.

John sits outside of the B flag and allows half the team to spawn and attack the objective John is a spawn whore and is used purely as a mobile entrance into the field of battle.
