Overuse of "Owned," "Ownage," and "Pwned"

Ok, I don't want to go on a rant here, but what in the HELL is up with all you guys saying things like "Owned!" and "Pwned" after you get ONE FREAKING KILL???? I mean, give me a break. The word "owned," in particular, is getting way too overused. I'm requesting a policy be made stating when it is or is not appropriate to use that word.

My idea is this: 1. You must still be alive when you say the word. 2. You must have killed at least 5 people in one round. 3. You must be the person who killed the last member of the opposing team. 4. Say it exactly ONE time, then drop it. It was one round...don't be too proud of yourself.

Now, if at the end of the match, you've killed the majority of the people the majority of the time, you can go nuts, say "Owned" 5,000,000,000 times if you want (five billion, for the mathematically impaired). Just know that everyone around you, while they might agree that they were owned, will also think you're a complete tool and will do their level best to kill you at the beginning of the next round.

At least, that's what I would do.

U just Pwned the Pwnerzzz!!!

the only time I've ever used the word was in HL2 online when I sent a toilet flying randomly upwards toward the roof of a building and it somehow killed somebodyTsunami23

I consider this completely acceptable. In fact, before you use the term, you should probably check with me first.

This thread is destined to become legendary.

what does "pwned" mean, by the way? eclarkdog

owned...with a p. It's joke because the o and the p are right next to each other on the keyboard. I typo made famous.

Those words are generally used by the young ones.Deihmos

I like iwned more

I only use it in 3 cases.

1. I completely beat some with a ton of kills or won a match 20-0.

2. My team is being owned.

3. A really intense match that has a crazy ending.
