I wasted much of my time playing World of Warcraft, I liked to slay dragons and fight zombies as much as the next guy. But what I really enjoyed was shopping at the in-game auction house. When you had stuff you didn't want, you could sell it to other players through auctions. I was practicing Craigslist arbitrage. And soon my lowly little wizard had a fortune of hundreds of gold pieces.

Arbitrate 

To make an authoritative judgement on something.
Hym "Jesus Christ, 😩 well, if writing and moralizing isn't work, then you aren't doing it either. Who the fuck IS this guy? He's trying to arbitrate what constitutes a 'Good person.' Who should be famous. Colluding with media and government officials who are lauding you as a prophet for pedaling a bastardization of the religious canon to people who he proclaims cannot think!? Not to mention the ME references (from the Andy Ngo video onward)enough of which could fill an hour long compilation video that constitutes a externally imposed faux schizophrenia. While he wages a war against a noisy minority whose existence seemingly only benefits people on his team."

Iam "He's like a Palpatine!"

Hym "He's like a Palpatine. I mean, he seems to at least be Palpatine-adjacent. And he's trying to wield his non-elected ethic that literally boils down to: 'It's not arbitrary. I deserve this.' against a green haired boogie man whose entire ethical system is derived from Hollywood and institutions that have been co-opted by communists!"

Iam "I mean, that would be how you take over the world though...."🤔

Hym "How do you mean?"

Iam "Create a problem for which you are the one true prophet and solution and then collude with the media and the government of multiple countries for the sake of your own aggrandizement."

Hym "OHO! That's deliciously evil! He's a Sheev Palpatine!"

Iam "We're in the middle of an Ethos vs Pathos war! He's the Palpatine!"

Hym "Hohohoho that is hilarious!"

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
