minmaxer

Someone who attempts to understand the nuances of a role-playing system in order to tweak their character to be highly optimized, usually for a single task such as combat.

"Bob is a Minmaxer. The other day i heard him saying:" "Each Agil give +1 attack power, but only while in cat form, so if i get strength gear instead, i can get the bonus while in all forms, but then again i will lose the dodge bonus, but since i wont be tanking this is an acceptable loss and i can squeeze .346 extra dps out of the character....."

Games of minimal exertion

Games played after gorging one's self on food. Perfect for the family get togethers, tailgate parties, or even after a trip to the Golden Corral with friends. Typical games include horse shoes, bean bags, or for the ambitious, darts.

Aunt Bev, that was a great Thanksgiving meal! I'm stuffed! It's time for some games of minimal exertion. Uncle Cletus, let's go throw some horse shoes!
