MUD PK TERM GLOSSARY

Many Wheel of Time MUD PK terms are acronyms or abbreviations for longer expressions; understandable given that in the heat of battle the last thing you want to be doing is typing out long location names. You'll typically hear most of these over the global channels when there's PK going on; getting used to these does take a bit of time but it's worth knowing them.

General terms & acronyms

afk: away from keyboard. used to indicate that this person is unlikely to be able to respond to anything
on: the most basic piece of information in PK, telling others that the fight is on. The majority of PK is typically chasing, blocking, standing around, baiting and so forthmostly, for every hour pking, you'd be lucky to spend 10 minutes actually fighting. "on" tells people where it's at. How much information you put in the "on" message depends on how much information the others need to know. The most frequent mistake is if they don't know where you are, simply narrating "on" doesn't help, you need a location.
bloodies: refers to tracks being bloody which happens when your enemy is on foot and in a beaten or critical condition ie "bloodies heading n"
bricked, clumsied: finished the stab timer, but the stab failed .. ie you clumsily approach someone with your dagger. Much cause for disappointment
freshies: fresh tracks.. ie "on 2 freshies heading north of appletree" meaning you're following two sets of fresh tracks.
lots or tons: means that the person saw lots of enemies, many more than they expected to see. It's a time when you need to rethink your strategy, because you were counting on facing fewer. Just because the person narrated "lots" doesn't mean that people should flee quite yet, but be wary and stay with a few mobs until they're sure.
lots, out: means it's time to get safe and re-think.
off: Refers to "I'm not fighting anymore" typically, the enemy fled off. Tells the others that the fight is no longer where you narrated "on" and the enemy is most likely running somewhere.
out: An instruction to get out of the fight and get safe, most likely because your side is losing. "OUT" means "get out now". "OUT OUT OUT" means "run like hell".
pat or patty: a "patrol" of mobs made up by one leader and a number of lesser mobs (ie fade and 4 ramshorned trollocs). They may be stationary or mobile
pk: stands for player-killing. Referred to as PvP in lesser games, often used to ask if there's any pk going on anywhere.
ron: means same as "on" but the person typed na ron rather than nar on

Northern terms & acronyms

Note, the initial reference point for the directions given below is inside Fal Dara's Malkier gate.

1e dep (or 1e depression): Often included in "winding choke", this is a n/e/w/s room which is 1e of the room called "The Depression". To get to south winding, you have to get a south flee so it is great for blocking people going south.
1n gap: head about 3 rooms north of OTG, and you get to the first blight room (called "The Blight"). Often used as a reference point, and fights are often here.
1n orch ent: 1n of orchard entrance is a n/e/s room with 2 trees, and if people wish to get to north blight they need to pass this room to get north (or go through orchard and stedding). Often used as a block spot when chasing trollocs down, but trollocs will often either flee to orchard patrol, or back to Lockshear or Kobal Keep.
2n 2w: Go 1e, and 2s of burnt, and you're in a n/e/s room. That room is actually 2w of 2n, where we started. This room has strategic value, as all roads lead somewhere east to Malkier gate or winding, and both north and south then leads west to west dusty.
2n: walk 2n of Malkier gate, there's a e/w/s room. To get back into FD, you need to get south. Traditional block spot used by both sides.
4e: go 4e of 2n.. and you get to a n/e/w/s room. This room is a devastating choke for anyone wanting to go west, as only one flee is good. Many a time have humans ripped here, but it can also be used against trollocs.
6w burnt: go back to burnt, then head 6w. It's a 4-exit room, with only east heading along the dusty road to Malkier. All other exits keep the person in the west dusty area. Therefore, this is often used as a block spot against trollocs trying to run to winding from west dusty, or humans trying to get into Malkier Gate.
All w df choke: head all west of df choke, and you get to another pair of ancient trees. Typically used as a fallback position for humans when they've lost the trees at df choke but are still willing to put in a fight.
Bush: 2n of MT, this is also a good blockspot if you have superior numbers. It's called bush because of it's the name of the spammable door to the westa place where many have died. East leads to lockshear (and to Cairhein if you like a long ride). North leads to blight.
Camp ent: head southwest of df choke a fair bit to the camp entrance. The roomname is called "thinning woods" but many around there have the same name. If you find any room called thinning woods, head west and south until you get to this room. It has n/e/w/s exits, and if you head west or south, you get into the trolloc camp which is a place with many trolloc mobs.
DF choke: head lots south and wiggle east and west a bit, until you get to a room which has only e/w exits, and 2 ancient trees. You need to pass through this room to go from dark forest to forrested borderlands, so it's a good choke. Humans love to sit there especially. However, it should be noted that the best block spots are 1e df choke (for people heading south) and 1w df choke (for people heading north).
Fhills, or footies, or foothills: 1n 1w of OTG, and 2n 1w OTG, are two rooms called "In the Foothills". These rooms are often used by trollocs to smell for horses in the gap, as they are at the zone edge. Also often used as a regrouping point when humans are attacking blight.
F'ing mobs!: means there's a *Smasher* around, waiting to eat newbies. generally used to show appreciation for the mobiles in pk areas.
Granlin: is the Granlin / Aes Sedai / Warder smob in what should be Arafel. From stoutdoor, head 7w 5n and you're there. Often used by humans for defence when blocked out of Fal Dara, particularly if the person is in the Tower (so the warder rescues her). Often smobbed by trollocs for jeweled cuffs.
MT: is a bit northeast of asaw, and is in the south side of Tarwin's Gap proper. It has a secret door (entrance to the Master Torturer smob that the room gains its name from) that makes it a n/e/w/s room, with only the n exit heading north. Often used to block people heading north.
OTG: directly north of bush, maybe about 6 rooms, is a n/e/w/s room called "Outside the Gap". It used to be a good block spot against anyone, as east and west exits lead nowhere. However, the east exit now leads to a new zone north of LS, which then heads to blight.. so it's not used anymore. It's still often used as a reference point, however.
Orch ent, or orchard entrance: 2s, 2w of all n gap is this 4-exit room, with the west exit leading to orchard. It has 4 blighted trees, and is a bad spot to be if you really want to get west and are blocked.
Temple entrance: a few south, a few east, and 1n of moldy earth is the temple entrancea 4-exit room, with north being the path through the temple (which is no-ride). Typically only used for blocking, in conjunction with moldy.
Well, or orch well: 3w, 1s of orch entrance, this room in orchard has a well. It's a traditional meeting spot for humans, and it also loads 2 spotted horses. Flees for humans are goodif nobody is blocking, then whichever way you flee (north or south), the same spams get you safe (ie 2w, head south :P)
all n gap: all north of gap is a blight room with only a south exit, and 3 trees. Often trollocs will run here if they overspam or need a hasty defence.
asaw, also called 1n split: this choke room is a n/e/s room 1n of split. It's used to block people heading south. "asaw" stands for "all south all west" of gap.
burnt: head lots east (about 15 rooms) until you can go east no more, then head back one room to "At a Burnt Wagon". North heads to the dusty tower (which has Shienarian mobs in there) which is occasionally used by humans. Has some strategic value, but often mainly used as a reference point.
campfire: heading out of camp eastwards then southwards, there is a room called "At a Campfire". Occasionally used for regrouping, it's more often used as a reference point (ie the patrol is 1n campfire).
dh's: stands for darkhounds. It's lots west and a bit south of stoutdoor. Nasty place, lots of tough mobs that help trollocs, and spammable doors
downer: is 4n of orch ent, with n/s/d exits. Down leads to the stedding. Often used for navigation and trolloc regrouping.
fence ent: 1w of camp entrance is fence entrance, so called because there is a door north called "fence". If you go 1n, you're actually in there, and that room is referred to as fence. Trollocs love the fence, as it's a spammable door which often has mobs behind it to help them. If you're a human fighting at fence ent and need to flee, then use flee; south to doubleline out of fence because otherwise you'll most likely die in there. Because of this, trollocs love to regroup at fence ent to try and get people to do this.
moldy: about 6 or so south of xroads is a n/w/s room called "moldy earth". Often used to block trollocs heading north, as it's one of the two pathways north to orchard from the dark forest.
orch ent (orch side): this room in the orchard is 1w of the orchard entrance in blight. It's often used to block trollocs trying to get back to blight, but note that the grass here often means that you need to block them very early (as the grass will aggro you).
pot: all south of fence is a stationary fade patrol with boarish trollocs, and a large pot. Trollocs often fall back here when fighting in camp, as they mobs are pretty powerful.
rocky path ent: a few rooms northeast of campfire is the rocky path entrance, and I think it's called "Forested Borderlands". It's mainly notable because if you head north, there's a rocky path that winds northwards, up to near df choke.
rolling: 1w of shady is a room called "In the Rolling Hills", and people heading from west dusty to forrested borderlands must pass through either this room or shady. North exits head to fblands.
shady: southeast of rock path, is a room called "In a Shady Valley". Note that this is actually in west dusty, at the zone edge. Thus it's a favorite spot for many people to waittrollocs so that they can smell horses in west dusty, and humans so that any trollocs in forrested borderlands don't smell them. Flees for everyone are so-so, so no real strategic advantage here.
shoulder: 2n, 2e of downer is the shoulder. To get to north blight without going to the stedding, you need to get past the shoulder. It has n/s/w exits, north leading to north blight. Once a trolloc gets north of shoulder, however, they are typically safe (barring the huge amount of mobs there).
split: north of 1e dep, the winding road splits into a circle, which meet up back at "A Split in the Road"a n/w/s room called "split" for short. This is a chokepoint for people heading north.
stoutdoor: 1s, 1w, 3s of sward is the stoutdoor, also called the inn (because it's the entrance to an inn. As the crow flies, this is directly west of Fal Dara. Not often used to block anymore, it's mainly a reference point. 2n stoutdoor is often a block spot, as it's a 4-exit room, with each flee taking you somewhere separate.
sward: from 6w burnt, go all s, and about 3 or 4 west until you get to a room called "At a Southward Bend". Sward is short for southward. Only a south flee gets you out of the west dusty area, others keep you in. Trollocs can block a human getting safe by blocking both 6w burnt and sward, as they're the only 2 ways out of west dusty (without going back to the blight).
winding choke: head far east and a bit north up the winding road, to just a bit northeast of the brigand tower in south winding. This is actually a series of rooms with many chokepoints either way. It's basically where winding "turns" and starts heading north.
xroads: the "crossroads" is a favorite spot for trollocs, as it has a cow catapult, and a pretty strong mob trolloc there. It's 1s, 2w of the well, and has 4 exits, south leads to the dark forest.
