redshirt

A redshirt is one of the basic crew members in the original Star Trek series. In Aridor Slave Rescue, every player starts with a redshirt and can use this character to win other characters. Redshirt is a very low-scoring character in all three attributes.

The term is also used as a verb. To redshirt someone in the Aridor game is to reduce them to only having a redshirt by stealing (or otherwise removing) all their other slaves. Some players redshirt other players who annoy them, and the term is also used for other situations (e.g. where slaves are taken so they can be retaken to make money, and where someone loses all their slaves through attrition over time) where someone is left with only a redshirt.
Redshirt is not too bad a character, and has a good chance of beating Mariah or Goodnight in a fight.

Enigma tried to redshirt me for making fun of him when he was offline, but instead, I nearly redshirted him.

If you're offline for a few days, don't be surprised to find yourself redshirted when you get back to Aridor.

Redshirt

The person most likely to die first in any TV show, or film, regardless of what colour sweater they're wearing.

Taken from Star Trek the Original Series, where the security guards wore red, one always 'beamed down' from the spaceship to planets on exploratory missions and always died first. Always.
Don't ever wear a red shirt on a space mission!
"Ahhh look at the Redshirt, he's gonna get it first"

Redshirtted

Coined from the security guards from the original "STAR TREK" because they always got killed on assingment.

Redshirt

A play on college sports' "Redshirt" rule: they can't play, but they're still a part of the team.
Redshirt is another name that refers to underage girls (typically between the ages 16-17).
They're "a part of the team" = you can check them out, but "they cannot play" = you can't have sex with them because that's illegal.
"DAMN! Check out that Redshirt over there!"
"Yea, definitely going to be scouting her for the upcoming season"
"Yea, I wonder what her 40 (yard) time is looking like.."
"She's definitely going to be a starter one day."
"Bitch is going to the SEC with that talent."
