powergamer

A player of a game that seeks to use the system to dominate and frustrate other players.

This is typically not a problem when dealing with games that encourage competitive playing, but swiftly becomes a problem when the objective of the game is not to defeat your opponenet, either real or perceived, but to co-operate and socialize with other players.

As such, power-gamers are the bane of certain role-playing games, social games and online games like wordMUD/words and their ilk, and games where not everyone wants to make you their bitch.

However, certain games suit powergamers well -- games like Monopoly and the (now discontinued) Paranoia RPG setting by West End Games.

Well, yeah, Fabian is a power-gamer... he's a wonderful person to be with, and very accommodating, but never, ever, play against him -- you'll just end up hating him.

powergamer

(online specific) Referring to a player of MMOs who goes to great lengths to maximize the amount of experience points (xp) they get in the smallest amount of time. They are obsessed with xp efficiency over all other things, including their own bladder status. Typical behaviors are inordinate amounts of time spent playing the game, getting the best equipment at all times for their character, and "farming" areas for the best loot and xp.

(typical powergamer quote) "Get out of my group. You'll ruin my XP."

powergaming

powergaming, consists in achieving end game results (getting the highest and most favorable output possible) , ignoring everything else that constitutes the game as a whole. Another way to put it in words, would be taking shortcuts in the game in a counter-intuitive way. This practice is common in MMORPGs.

example: a player in an mmorpg doing powergaming would be joining a top ranked guild at starter level with high privileges, ignores the game storyline, skips all quests given except the ones needed to reach end game, ignores advanced tutorials, and gets power leveled to cap with the best gear possible, which would give him or her bragging rights over the rest of the average players.

This guy should be banned, he thinks he is the best player ever just because he was spoon fed by powergaming"

Powergamers

1: n. A person who plays tabletop RPGs and seeks to make the most powerful character possible, often in the form of assigning 'useless' stats such as 'charisma' very low values. Any advantage this player they can get, they are likely to take. It is not uncommon for such players to ask to start with rare items their character could or would not have obtained.

Powergamers are different from twinks in that a powergamer generally seeks to have the most powerful character without regard to the rules, while a twink seeks to manipulate the rules to gain a powerful character.

1: "God damn it ralph, you're such a powergamer, and NO, you can't start the game with a Sword of World Destruction. No. No. No... Go away!"
