Hoakism is the way of serious game design. It involves discussions about vection and relative scale.
It also serves as a constant reminder not to be RUDE, HOSTILE or IMMATURE. For any hoakist it is also important to stress important words by writing with orange.
Having a large vocabulary can also be beneficial to the aspiring hoakist.
Above all else, it is important to remember the days when NS:CO had well above 300 servers and millions of fans.
quote "It's unfortunate that game design can't be discussed on these forums by some of the people that have in fact poured hundreds and even thousands of hours into the mod -- without being spammed, insulted, or broadsided with Troll Posts..." this is true hoakism

A statement thrown into casual conversation that is stressed by the speaker as true, yet unbeknownst to them, has no actual basis in fact. This encourages further hopkisms when the listeners repeat the statement to others.
First person: "Hey did you know that Cameron Diaz was that little girl in E.T.?"
Second person: "Really?"
First person: "Yep, definitely."
Second person: "Are you sure that's not a hopkism?"

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
