Bear Principle

The bear principle is the theoretical idea that you don't need to be able to outrun an angry bear to escape; you only have to outrun the guy next to you.

Can be used as a metaphor for almost anything where the "bear" is some type of authority and you are the one trying to not get eaten. Evading police, cheating, internet piracy, drug dealing, etc.

When it comes to internet piracy, the bear principle states that while it is difficult or impossible to be completely anonymous when torrenting, IP blockers like PeerBlock will focus the attention of the "bear" on those that take no precautions at all. Anti-piracy types are not likely to go through the extra effort needed to track you when there are plenty of people who can be tracked effortlessly.

Prizzly Bear

A Prizzly is a mix between a polar bear and grizzly bear. Indigenous to Canada, they make their living by mauling innocent by-standers, and eating their tasty insides, later discarding their fleshy husks.

Contrary to common belief, Prizzlies are not colored with a mix of white and brown, but can change colors at will, and camouflage in accordance with their surroundings. This tactic is useful when stalking it's human prey.

A little known fact of Prizzlies, is that they are in fact, cold-blooded, but unlike other cold-blooded creatures, these vile beasts absorb their warmth from the limp carcasses of their human victims as they gorge on their internal organs. These vicious killers are predicted to attempt to take over the world in the bear uprising of 2088.

Prizzly Bear Facts:

-As it becomes an adult, it can be as tall as 7', weigh 500lbs (and be 6" long).
-A Prizzly bear, when provoked, will fling fecal matter at its enemy until covered.
-All Prizzly bears enjoy rap music ... because they're down with that.
-An estimated 6,900 Prizzly bears perished durring the Holocaust.
-These gruesome creatures lurk anywhere there is honey or blood to be found.
-The eyes of the Prizzly can paralyze a victim if he/she looks into them directly.
- Prizzly Bears are able to tolerate temperatures as cold as -1000 degrees celsius while still butt-naked.

Care Bear

1. Lightly derogatory term for an MMO player who avoids PVP combat, heavily preferring cooperative or solo PVE combat, chatting, or developing tradeskills/running quests. Depending on the game and the individual, this PVP avoidance can show up in several ways: by playing on strict non-PVP servers; by avoiding PVP areas or declining duels; or, by avoiding or condemning PVP players. Philosophically, they often cite unbalanced combat systems, overpowered guilds, ebayed characters, and ganking as reasons to prefer less aggressive play. The mindset can be self-sustaining in several ways: high-level "care bears" may have avatars that are tailored for PVE, not PVP; they may not network with skilled PVP players; or, they may morally refuse to learn aggressive PVP tactics. As an insult, the term applies less to players who merely prefer PVE to PVP and more to individuals who question the basic legitimacy of PVP or who greatly overreact to their avatars' deaths. Bear in mind that it is strictly incorrect to refer to the victims of heavy exploiters as Care Bears. Abbreviated CB. Compare with RPK, Player Killing/PK, PVP.
2. Adjective describing a strictly PVE server or game.

1. PVP: *kills CB*
CB: What the ****? I didn't do anything to you; why did you kill me?
PVP: You were there.
CB: This is bull****. Go away!
PVP: *kills CB again*
CB: Quit camping me! WTF is wrong with you?
PVP: You were still there.
CB: *logs out*

2. Player 1: Hey, why don't you come over to Final Fantasy XI? I'll get someone in the guild to level you up.
Player 2: Sorry, I prefer PVP MMOs; FFXI would be way too Care Bear for me.
