Fezzidise - a combination of Troll, Patriotism, and Spam effects all rolled into one powerful spell. Casting this spell however will cause severe losses of prestige and charisma.

Donny's Dastardly Dicktification - Turns a thread into a circle-jerk, with much "lolling" and "rolleyesing" for all involved.

Emma's Eminent Emasculation - A given picture thread is hijacked by pictures that are inappropriate for that particular thread topic. Example: Pictures of men and/or fat chicks in a Babes Thread, or pictures of corpses in a War Machines thread. Often leads to much circle-jerking on the part of the offending parties, with many rolleyes always directed at the legitimate thread participants ("Clearly the legitimate participants of this thread are sexist since they are not posting pictures of fat chicks ").

Assclown's Arbitrary Aptitude - Poster claims expertise in a given field, despite having the equivalent knowledge of any given 12-year-old in said field (note: poster might actually be 12 years old). Generally involves much plaigarizing of Nietzsche, Rand, Marx, or any other oft-quoted philosopher/economist, with the false implication that said ass-clown actually understands said philosopher/economist.

Odin's Onerous One-Trick-Ponyism - Poster beats a horse to death, and continues beating said dead horse long into its slow descent into rigor mortis and eventual rot. Often involves turning the dead horse into a scapegoat for all of the poster's problems in life, from said poster's impotence ("It's France's fault that my genitals do not function") to said poster's general ineptitude ("It's America's fault that I'm a lazy bastard").

Obfuscation - Poster responds to a post by cutting it into tiny bits and comment on each one, most often sentence by sentence. The net effect is the poster avoids the main thrust of the argument while picking on minor and often irrelevent issues.

Vlad's Voluminous Vomitorium - Poster infects a thread, a set of threads, or an entire forum with his/her insane and inane alcoholic babbling.

Jorje's Horrendous Happenstance - Poster's infectious spam and/or invective triggers a wave of thread closings, causing many semi-innocent threads to fall in its wake. Also known as a Sacrifice Spammage.

Translation: It is a distress signal to notify the nearest allied high-level mage (aka moderators) that the distressee has been attacked with Vlad's Voluminous Vomitorium spell and is in desperate need of a healing spell. Often, such spells are found on the island of Mingapulco. High-level mages can use the Teleport spell to send the afflicted to the island for the necessary time to heal.

Witty comeback: This spell is cast (often after a failed prediction or other spell) to minimise loss of experience and charisma.

meta-spam

An extremely difficult spell to cast, such that only experiences mages such as BC should attempt it. This spell retains the basic characteristic of spam , but conceals itself as a serious comment.

If the spell is cast by low level mages (or mages with low levels of charisma), it is often indistinguishable from spam and due to its nature far more likely to lead to Ming's magnificent mansion being cast on the poster.

Bounshin no Jutsu / Clone Tecnique: All rookies know this spell, creating a duplicate poster sometimes with a different name.

Kage Bounshin no Jutsu / Shadow Clone Technique: Same as above but the clone lurks.

Props to whoever gets the reference

Banishment to the OT: Cast by a mod on a thread with high spam potential, this spell in fact encourages more spam. However, it removes the +1 bonus the thread would otherwise possess.

Cause distraction - used by people who are facing embarassments, such as old posts from aeons past, certain refutations of their arguments, and so forth.

Bloodymindedness - counters Cause distaction.

ad hominem - a form of Logical Fallacy, this spell is used for a variety of purposes, including distraction and flamebaiting.

UR: Actually, since the thread was moved, I think the initial prediction was largely correct, and hence I have no need to cause distraction .

Meanwhile I still have the boost to experience from the cast witty comeback and you still need to visit the doctor to sort out those little problems you've been having.

self-Exile: caster is sent out of forum by his/her own volition. General duration is variable, but has only a 25% chance of taking permanent hold.

Cut & paste: Magically transfers huge amounts of characters from other sources, increasing defense+3, as caster can now sit behind a huge shield of words to deflect attacks.

Troll rating: Spell with very low mana cost: aimed at reducing charisma of opponent -1. can backfire, if caster misjudges the denominator to be used, thus damaging their own charisma.

NationStates Forum- A magical place that the old scrolls talk about. All participants quckly gain EXPERIENCE (+1) points, The strongest mages that cannot enter there, probably due to the strong auras colliding.

Off-Topic Forum
The mythical arena where more or less experienced characters go to fight against each other, without any other reward than personal satisfaction after winning a fight.
It is a merciless and unforgiving place from which inexperienced characters should stay clear.

actually Spiff:

Off topic Forum: A dangerous dimension that wary posters should avoid. Significant damage to "real life" points, and a strong set of terrible monsters inhabit this realm. Heavy use of Magic is needed, since brute strenght (Reason and facts) easily fail against most monsters there.

Democracy game forums: Dimension in which posters are forced to work together to defeat great enemies from beyond. The stress of common purpose on naturally fractious beings can lead to terrible internal battles. Not for the weak of heart.
