proration 

In fighting games, proration is a numerical value given to a certain attack that shows what percentage 'damage penalty' you get for using the attack in a combo.

For example, let's say you have attack A with 100% proration and attack B with 80% proration, and both can combo into each other interchangeably. Chaining A->B will have no effect on the damage output by attack B because attack A has 100% proration. However, chaining B->A will have an effect on the damage output by A; B has 80% proration, so attack A will only do 80% damage in this combo. Proration effects can also be stacked, which is the reason why button-mashing comboers often find themselves doing very little damage near the end of their string of attacks.

To find out what moves are good to start combos with, you should not only know how slow the move is and what it chains into, but you should also keep in mind the proration it has.

promoation 

Where a "rising through the ranks" knight or lord is given a more-luxurious castle with a sizable water-filled ditch surrounding it.

King Arthur was known for his fair and generous treatment of his loyal and courageous round-table warriors, so I imagine that he regularly gave them promoations to reward them for exceptional bravery and/or servitude.

1. The consequences of messing up the rage by means of cock blocking or just being an amateur.

State-Sanctioned Provocation

A covert or overt psychological tactic in which government agencies, law enforcement, or affiliated actors deliberately provoke a targeted individual into reacting—often in anger, fear, or self-defense—with the intent of discrediting, arresting, institutionalizing, or silencing them. This manipulation is executed through harassment, intimidation, and staged confrontations, all under the protection of state authority.

Often used against whistleblowers, activists, or individuals involved in litigation against the government, state-sanctioned provocation relies on surveillance infrastructure, informants, and coordinated setups to generate false narratives of instability or aggression. (noun)

After filing a federal lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department, Juana experienced state-sanctioned provocation when 50–100 bikers swarmed a major intersection near her home, attempting to block her vehicle and bait her into reacting—with police stationed just 50 yards away.

The day before her criminal case was dismissed, a man—believed to be connected to a corrupt officer—stood outside her home and covered her kitchen window to provoke a confrontation. She remained silent, filmed the act, and refused to give them the reaction they were fishing for. Classic state-sanctioned provocation.

On her way to court, a man in an elevator used a gang stalking app to signal her presence, then pretended not to know what it was. Another time, a motorbiker followed her, smashed her side mirror, and fled—while police refused to take the report, despite video evidence. All signs of state-sanctioned provocation designed to derail her legal case.
