gloop
- verb/1 To collect large amounts of low-valued T; this
takes longer than collecting small amounts of high-valued T,
but carries less risk and hurts less to abandon mid-way through
when some crazed killer suddenly shows up on the 'qw' list. The
routes taken can be varied, making glooping less mindless than
most other methods mages employ to try increase their points
tally, but it can still be done on auto-pilot. It differs from
scooping up in that it is the main tactic being employed by
the player; scooping things up is usually incidental to some
greater objective (and hoovering is goal-independent). The
origin of gloop is unknown: MUD1 and MUD2 only use the word as
a sound effect with reference to the 'fiery pit', so it seems
unlikely to have derived from there.
