gloop
	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.
