<< Generic slang for someone who is power-gaming or otherwise behaving 
in a disruptive manner.  You can have a really good player with a 
Timetripper and there is no problem.  You can give it to someone who 
wants to use the power all the time, and you have a big problem on 
your hands (And you can't tell me that this would be abuse of the 
char--after all, the char has the power.  It's undetectable by anyone 
outside of the person using the power too).  Then you get a player 
who is in a pissy mood, or is in general obnoxious and you have 
someone who can singlehandedly destroy the game. >>

I know all about these people, as I am one of them..during times when it is 
necessary.  I do it for the fun of it, knowing we will only have one session 
of a game(not BNW). Ya see, my gaming group plays anime and 
vampire(masquerade), and we play one session..then someone has an idea...and 
we start a new campaign..talk about boring, we hardly ever finish a 
story..let alone begin a new type of game.  So, instead of taking this one 
session game and playing completly serious, as if there will be others, I 
screw around so I make sure I get some enjoyment out of it, without 
disrupting others that much.. EX: last game we played was a Sailor 
Moon(*ewww*) I was intent on destroying Tokyo tower, which I did...hold your 
applause... anyway twink's are fun when you know it doesn't matter, which 
I've stressed this enough with my fellow gamers(like, I'm not playing in this 
new story, there will only be ONE session...)... anyways...I forgot what I 
was saying...really I did...
    oh by the way, mine names Ken. I just purchased BNW recently, and found 
it quite good indeed, and I plan on keeping this game alive in my group. 
Thanks for the new world Matt.
