[QUOTE="Mournblade94, post: 5586201, member: 74608"] I have used both those terms to describe people that are very good friends. They are still friends of mine. One of my friends actually fell for a power gamer/munchkin trap. It is in a LARP I play, and this worked really well. He is always seeking the best items to increase his power. So we made an item just for him! We made THICK WINTER SOCKS and WOOL CAP, that would grant 3 dodges (avoid ANYTHING), 3 INVULNERABILITIES (stop physical attacks), and 3 ABSORPTIONS (Stop magic attacks and suck the power into the LARP Player) every cycle (4 in a weekend event). In the scheme of things this is a very powerful item. The catch: Once you used one ability they stayed on you until the end of the weekend, you COULD NOT take them off. (If he did it would be a cheating violation, rather serious). These were heavy winter wool socks and a wool cap. We released the item in MAY. He used the socks friday, and kept the set on while playing or sleeping, (a marshal checked) all while complaining how hot they were. He complained how stupid it was to make a powerful item just be WINTER SOCKS and HAT, because they were so inconvenient to wear. Yet he never once took them off. He didn't cheat. But it shows his dedication to power gaming. [/QUOTE]
