Farm No Magic

Grief Terminology

• After-the-Bell Revive: A revive that occurs in a custom game where your teammate revives you after your team has already won. This causes a delay in the game and often frustrates players. This could be a mistake but is often intentional. 

• Clip: A clip is a very impressive sequence of gameplay that you wish to record in theater mode or feature in a montage on YouTube. This can include a nice escape or a cool grief you get on another player.

• Connection Agreement: This is seen in tournaments and is when two teams mutually agree to have a certain member of their team host their respective games, and is often done to benefit everyone. 

• Console Lag: Lag that occurs on most Xbox's where every two hours you suffer bad lag for several seconds that usually results in your death in a game.

• Deadweight: Somebody who plays really poorly in a particular game or in general, and is practically getting carried. They can't hold up their own weight and are essentially useless to a team. 

• Fumble: When somebody attempts a revive, usually a 360-revive, and they utterly fail by dropping the revive.

• Head-Stomp: When a player dolphin dives or croutch-jumps onto an enemy who is prone in the hopes of taking him down and gaining an edge in a match. Since players don't often go prone on Farm, it is possible to utilize a head-stomp by diving over a player who is reviving in front of a pit, amongst other locations. This is possible because of the pit's design, as there is a slope.

• Pro House Block: When a team blocks off three particular crucial areas in the top of the house in the start of the game. One player blocks the doorway that leads to the area where the box is noramlly located, the other area is the corner of the top-house where players can drop off, and the third is the doorway atop of the staircase that leads to the MP5. By doing so, you try to catch a player off-guard and get him downed by the zombies spawning from window and other areas.

• Series: Highly competiitive form of playing where players pick their own teams and play seriously agaisnt one another. It is often done for bragging rights. It is less serious than a tournament, yet more competitive than a custom game.

• Sponge: Word used to describe someone who seems to not get hit by zombies when near a horde and gets ridiuclously lucky escapes. Just as a kitchen sponge absorbs water, a grief sponge seems to absorb hits from zombies

• Suicide: When you try griefing an oppponent, but end up killing yourself along with the other player. 

• Three-Sixty Revive: A revive that goes in a 360 motion and allows players to move away from the zombies while getting their teammate up. Players are usually croutched while doing this to prevent being knifed off the revive, and it can either be done by putting your index finger on the X button, or your thumb on both the X button and right anolog stick.

• Tie/Restart: In a custom game, a restart is when the last member(s) of the enemy team die around the same time/area as your team member(s). In a tournament, a restart is when a team dies before the entire enemy team bleeds out. Both cases result in neither a win nor loss, hence it is sometimes called a"tie.

• Up-down Revive: A revive that is often sketchy and results in an instantaneous down of your partner  who you just revived. Sometimes it is good as it resets the bleedout timer on your partner, but often it is the result of a bad revive and frustrates them.

• YY-Knifing: When a player has an empty clips in either their MP5 or M1911 and presses the Y button on the Xbox controller twice and then knifes. This process can be repeated and helps a player knife faster, particularly with the MP5 which is normally slow to knife with. Learning how to YY can take a while for newer players as their is a certain rhythm to it that is difficult to master.
