A strange Tribes 2 player best known for his accurate chaingun and curious personality. Darkstrand is very often the subject of cheating accusations.
Darkstrand's personality, while sometimes likeable, is delusional and contradictory with little footing in reality. He can, in may respects, be likened to Ignatius J. Reilly from the novel "A Condederacy of Dunces".
Person One: Hey Darkstrand how did you know I was coming over that hill when I was cloaked!?!
Darkstrand: LOL I turned that cloaker into a croaker! By accusing me of cheating you reveal one of the most basic flaws of the human condition. I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
