hot potato

  • noun A heavy object passed between combatants in MUD1 so as to weigh them down a lot. Popular in BL. Conventional wisdom has it that this will make it harder for your opponent to hit you. The tactic is less effective in MUD2, where even the mobiles will drop such items, and where the act of giving things exposes you to additional attacks.
