greenwash 

Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.
BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.

Monster. A gigantic bloated white spider which spits strands of paralysing thread and has a high Combat Skill; a powerful opponent.

Not only is it impossible to avoid combat with the creature, you need to use Kai skills or magic to make sure it doesn't hit you with its threads before you get into close combat range.

Nechayev 

Alternative spelling of Nechaev.

Nihilistic anarchist who was associated briefly with Bakunin.
Either spelling is possibly correct because of difficulties transcribing Russian names in English.
Nechayev by Andy May 2, 2004
Nihilistic anarchist who may have coined the phrase "the will to destroy is a creative urge". During a brief association with Bakunin, a number of pamphlets appeared which may have been written by either or both of them, most famously "Catechism of a Revolution". The two soon fell out because Bakunin was not really a nihilist.

Nechaev's ideal was for revolutionaries to be utterly ruthless and prepared to take any action, however apparently immoral, which would further their cause (a bit like politicians, in other words).

Exiled from Russia after being accused of murdering a political associate; eventually deported to Russia and killed by the state.
To "do a Nechaev" is to act nihilistically. Most often used along the lines of, "I wasn't feeling like doing a Nechaev" (i.e. not feeling like extreme self-sacrifice and escalation).
