Live-Action Gaming

Live-Action Gaming (or LAGging) is the act of playing or running a 'Live-Action Game'. This is a form of game where the participants physically act out all of their characters' actions. Unlike LARPs, which were inspired by role-playing games and genre fiction, live action gaming traces it's root to sports and computer games.

To make a comparison to computer games, LARPing is the live-action form of a computer RPG like "World of Warcraft" while LAGging is the live-action form of a videogame like "Doom" or "Quake".

"I prefer Live-Action Gaming to LARPing. I don't want to spend all that time figuring how to best spend my experience points."

virtuous-action subterfuge

Refers to a seemingly-beneficial/praiseworthy action that you perform in order to cover up a past/present transgression.

Three classic examples of a virtuous-action subterfuge would be:
(1) Pretending to be cleaning up litter along a roadside, in a park, or in some other public area, and then disposing of your bags of collected trash in a nearby dumpster; in reality, of course, you merely picked up just a very few pieces of discarded trash during periods when others were looking --- the bags of trash you're carrying are mostly YOUR OWN household garbage that you're disposing of for free in someone else's dumpster, rather than paying for your own trash-disposal.
(2) Pretending to be helpfully delivering bags of groceries to a tenant of a "wrinkle city" apartment-complex; as in Example #1, however, those bulging shopping-bags are merely still-new-looking shopping-sacks that you've carefully saved from previous grocery-shopping trips and then filled with your own trash; your confederate apartment-tenant later quietly disposes of said bags in the complex's waste-bin along with his own garbage.
(3) Pretending to be cleaning/dusting a certain area of a room, whereas in reality you are covering up the fact that you either have meddled with something you weren't supposed to touch, or currently wish to do so. By cleaning the entire area that the β€œoff-limits” object is occupying, it would seem natural for you to move/handle the object itself in the course of your cleaning, and so no observers will think twice about your harmlessly displacing the item "just to clean around/underneath it".

Massive Action Game

A PS3 exclusive game made by Zipper Interactive that supports up to 256 actual players in one match, released January 26th, 2010. It was a great game when released, just needed a few glitches fixed. However, then Zipper decided to put out patches that ultimately, ruined the game. The game boasts 128v128 action, but is broken down into 4 platoons of 32v32, so you never really see anymore than that. The game's low player count is mostly due to the fact that the game is heavily imbalanced. The game is set with 3 faction that you can pick from, you can only play for your faction you pick. Each faction has it's own map to defend/guns/looks/etc. The faction "S.V.E.R." has been imbalanced since the start of the game. With the easiest maps to defend, strongest weapons, it's well known that this is the faction Zipper caters to most in their game. Because of the imbalance of this game, that is why the population of the game is so low now, 1yr after it's release (Not even 1 full year, yet)

Bob: "Hey, you like MAG?"
Joe: "MAG? Massive Action Game? That game with 256 players?"
Bob: "Yeah, it's fun."
Joe: "Pfft, yeah; if you're on S.V.E.R."

Affirmative Action Seating

When a stadium or an arena allocates (and reserves) seats in direct proportion to the demographic composition of a given region.

80,000 seats. 25% Far Eastern composition in let's say Cleveland, Ohio. 20,000 seats allocated to people who originate from the Far East based on Affirmative Action Seating.
