Techwright Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls. King's Row is the best row. /jranger Freeeem! etc. That was the (well-loved) past. Since I don't get to every corner of Homecoming, are there any consistent expressions that have arisen from this current variant of the game? If there are, post an explanation, too, for those of us who've not seen them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraspingVileTerror Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Context! "Welcome Home" is hopefully rather self-explanatory, but my reading of the popularity of the statement has to do with the sense of coming back to a place which is familiar and carrying great sentimental value. "Redside is Bestside" (or some variation thereof) is something that we were actually trying to track down the etymology of: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/27840-need-help-from-a-historian-redside-best-side/ It may actually have started on Legacy, and not gained traction until now. "But Jimmy ..." is @Bionic_Flea's fault, near as I can tell. I'm personally not a fan. I'm not sure of the first instance of it, but it goes back over a year at least. (@Jimmy's knife) is explained here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/28948-jimmy-reacted-with-a-knife/?tab=comments#comment-363935 (there's a "But Jimmy" right after it, go figure). "Looking for DFB" must be a Shard-specific colloquialism. I tend to see different phrases creeping up in Everlasting's LFG channel much more frequently.

GraspingVileTerror Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 No. Not to the best of my knowledge, anyway. It's when @Snarky starts screaming about a cookbook that we resort to cannibalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailboat Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 The first few weeks I was playing, deliriously happy, I was unwilling to turn down the game sounds. I kept repeating something I had told friends over voice chat, "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my punching!" I loved it. But it didn't catch on.

GraspingVileTerror Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 May I recommend a small tweak, @Sailboat? "I can't hear you over the sound of HOW AWESOME MY PUNCHES ARE!" Or something to that effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDitko Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 There are some oft-heard phrases from live I certainly don't miss!
