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
