quick question.... how did Fzorgle end up meaning lash?

Lash got the Fzorgle moniker shortly after rumours for the new Chaos Marine Codex were verified.

Many people think that 'Lash breaks the game in many ways and it doesnt make any sense to put an ability like that in the game.

...as a matter of fact, it makes about as much sense as the word "Fzorgle" makes...so that's what they started calling it.

It was funnier when they said it though....

well... chaos DOES need something good in their codex right?

That can actually be attributed to Triggerbaby. Fzorgle was the verb/onomatopoeia used to describe the power's use. For example: "There is a 6 man las/plas squad behind a row of sandbags. Fzorgle! Now they're in front of the sandbags in a nice, tight circle."

I miss Triggerbaby. He needs to come back and lend his particularly entertaining and witty brand of flaming back to the forum. My god but he was hillarious!

Close.
He actually credited the initial idea to a gaming buddy of his, then began spread the crap along the internet.

I swear to God, I'll never call it that and I'll openly mock anyone who uses the term in a game against me!

Resistance is futile. You cannot fight internet memes. You disdain only makes them stronger - they feed on dark energies!

I almost wet myself and proclaimed you the next messiah. But you forgot this gem.

Trumped!

No but you can Trump them.

Epic WTF

"All your base are belong to us." I don't get it, it's just bad grammar.

No problem sir, I do believe theres a wiki article on the topic.

Klick

So, I herd U liek Mudkips?

Long cat is long.

Here is the originating quote which can be found in this thread.

Triggerbaby wrote:

The rules for the Lash aren't entirely clear, but it looks like one might be able to target enemy units in close combat. And naturally, once somebody asks the question, Gav will immediately pipe up and give an enthusiastic albeit unofficial yes. Because he is a goddam sped.

But the possibilities for abuse are both game breaking and amusing!

• Charged by my Beserkers? Fzorgle! You will be charged again next turn by my Furious Repeating Charge!
• My Oblits are stuck in combat with Scarabs? Fzorgle! Not when the Scarabs love the great taste of leaving combat to jump into dangerous terrain on the lava tables.
• I have been charged by your Slugga Boys? Fzorgle! I think you'll find they prefer to stand in a circle front of my Defiler.

And let's not forget that if normal targeting rules are superceded, you can always fzorgle independant characters out of attached units and into harm's way.

Even outside the balance issues, the lash is just a terrible idea. It adds more movement to the round, and movement is the most time-intensive aspect of game. Large units take a couple of minutes to move, particularly for players who are used to moving small units. Like Chaos players. And as mentioned before, it sanctions your opponent to put his greasy sausage fingers on your models. I don't want your Cheetos dust on my Talos, fatty, and I'm assuming the sentiment is mutual.

Oh, and I love how it forces a pinning test on top of the movement. It's like the designers weren't sure if anybody would want it. I envision the following: "All it does is move enemy units? Disgusted snort. Hey, stupid person, we're trying to get rid of the useless, fluffy wargear that so bothered everybody in the last edition. Fix it, post haste. Limpwristed dismissal accompanied by small fart."

Lastly, I vote for calling our new friend the Fzorgle Prince^TM. It sounds stupid and makes absolutely no sense, just like the Lash Of Fzorgling itself.

Now, let's take care of some misinformation in this thread with some rumour control, shall we?

Ahhh, it would appear that your memory isn't so 'magickal' after all. Check the next page of the thread I linked to. Its attributed to a comic. Thanks for playing though.

Likewise, allow us to openly mock you with a John Cleese quote:

"Yes. Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig-ignorance I have come to expect from you non-creative garbage."

KTHNXBYE

[edit to fix picture linkage]

Oh, wow!
So he credited a WEB COMIC, then began spreading the garbage.
How horrible of me. I had a miniscule fact incorrect. It's a good thing I had YOU there to fix me!
How dare I be correct about the fact that it was HACKED garbage, rather than ORIGINAL garbage, and be INCORRECT on the source that he hacked.
Thank you. That makes SOOOO much difference, now that YOU are here to set me straight!
How EVER can I repay you for saving Dakka and, quite possibly, the WHOLE INTERNET from my mistake?

Allow me to return another John Cleese quote to you.

"I fart in your general direction."

And, since we're posting internet images, I saw something that made me think of you.



Go away.

Aww snookums, don't get all shmoopy because you got corrected.

I like to share pics too! Likewise, here is one that made me think of you.

wow, tell us what you really think. Your opinion matters!

MagickalMemories wrote:Go away.

Nah, I think I will stay, thanks.

I'm flattered that you dug through pictures of yourself after prom to find one that reminded you of me.
Kinda like a man-crush, almost... but creepier.


Now that you've waved yours twice and I've waved mine twice, I advise that we call it even and drop it.
It's WAY OT and to the point of threadjacking.
A return response will just have me alert the Mods, and I'll take whatever response they decide to hand out right along side you.

Go wave it someplace else. Dakka's changing, pal. The rampant fight-picking is going the way of the do-do.

Eric

Since you appear to have no sense of humor whatsoever and are a sensitive person, I will respond to your hysterics as rationally as possible.

You made a error and you got corrected. There was no fight started there.

You made a strong statement regarding a term in common usage here on dakka. A statement just as strong was the response.

Alert away, me boy-o

Fzorgle now also means, "Ignore."
(as in the Dakka feature)
I never thought, until just now, I'd have ever Fzorgled someone.

dude, you're going to miss the next booger picture. Dakka is full of tools you can ignore, and the one you pick is one of the better posters.

Tacobake wrote:dude, you're going to miss the next booger picture.

Like I've said numerous times, the ignore feature is the Internet's equivalent to sticking your fingers in your ears and going 'Nah nah nah! I can't hear you!' - and it's every bit as childish.

The only thing more childish is Magical Memories explosive behaviour. What a hoot!

And I don't think that's a webcomic. I just thing it's a comic.

BYE

That explains a lot. I thought the rampant fight-picking was one of Dakka's best features.
