I need help here as they dont sound right when your talking about them in this tense.

Or do we go right to "RFed" like before?

Maybe we "linked" them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Actually I am very curious about the actual Lexicon issues surrounding this new term and its usage. Apparently Im not the only one with issues about saying it in different tenses or trying to shorten it to a good stable nickname to convey what it means as well as what it does to newer or underinformed players on comms or even typing. Brevity and conveyance of information quickly and accurately is always a good thing.

So Im actually quite, seriously, curious about others REAL opinions here. This isnt a troll thread so please dont treat it as such if you can. I know its hard for some.

I like both "to wand" and "to fozzy" and I think I will be using both until something better comes up. Can't really acquire a taste for "to entosis" and never liked the whole reinforce thing, because why would I want to "reinforce" (in the actual sense of the word) my opponents infrastructure?

I was using the term "kicking" to describe my use of my fozziewand on station services a few weeks ago. I kicked their station, they came running, I went away, I came back and kicked their station again...

I have heard people saying they "fozzied" stuff last day or so.

E-linked.

I would try just "linked" except that term has other uses, and could be confusing. Although in context, it might be OK.

One thing to consider: Most of the time, once things settle a bit, the most common target for a e-link will be a capture node. It will be "e-link the node, warp to the next".

Edit: " EL'ed "

Since Entosis is the adjective.... You would say "I've been linked" or "My station has been linked." Though in all honesty the new word being used most commonly is toasted. "I'm getting toasted" and "My station is getting toasted" etc etc..

'Entosis' is a noun. 'Entotic' would be the adjective.

Edit: Thinking about it: the proper verb would probably be 'enter'.

No it's describing the type of link. It's an Entosis Link.
So Adjective..

Example: Christmas Tree. Sure Christmas is a Noun but in this case its describing the tree so it's definitely an adjective.

Peasant.

Some pretty interesting ideas to say the least. I really wonder what will stick around for the test of time and become the standardized Eve lexicon in this aspect.

I like the mental idea of "kicking" something. Like kicking a can or kicking over an anthill. But I wonder if describing the action to someone without any prior knowledge it might just be too vague.

"Toasting" is an interesting one for the slang jargon aspect. Using the root of "tos" to come up with toast.

Im still favoring "linking" or "E-link, E-linking, E-linked" myself but its more a personal preference.

So, are you saying you've been entered...

Was it by one person or a whole alliance? Shocked

Edit: There is a joke here explaining why virtually none of our sov has been touched, but saying it myself makes me sad Sad
