blouse

  • noun A player who dislikes combat with other players, usually because it's distasteful or tiresome. Blouses will studiously avoid inter-persona fights wherever possible, and often flee early when ambushed. They will almost never initiate fights against non-mobiles except by accident, even under intense provocation. This doesn't mean they're no good at fighting (indeed, some true addicts are blouses); it simply means they don't like it. The term derives from the mainstream idiomatic phrase "big girl's blouse"; it's only a mild disapprobation, and naturally even its frequent use is unlikely to drive a real blouse to set about anyone with the LS..! See socialiser, explorer.
