A permanent, unbreakable alliance between two (or more) colluding players in multiplayer games, especially diplomacy board games, where they always team up no matter the circumstances. Widely considered a lame and shameful strategy, it preempts all meaningful negotiation and dynamic gameplay—pure pussy tactics. No gamer would ever laud this bullshit. The philosopher John Rawls coined the idea of a "veil of ignorance" (pre-random draw) as a way of constructing a just framework—one in which nobody knows what their own circumstance will be from the start. Many people register this in their innate sense of justice. Permalliance shits on this principle. As a general rule-of-thumb: when chumboys flock, game theory sucks cock.
Twilight Imperium IV is a fun and exciting game of epic galactic conquest, but Brandon and Shane have a chummy permalliance—they're permanently in collusion likeRussia and North Korea so don't expect any real diplomacy to happen and prepare countermeasures to contain them!
A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.
Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.
In a powercouple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.
I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
