Quote:Actually, your definition went further than just "beyond his means." Your definition, Lemming, also stated that the item could not "unbalance" the character. The problem with that? It's far, far too relative. What is balanced? What is unbalanced?
I make a distinction between the act of twinking and being a twink. Simply put, I do not always apply the label of "twink" when twinking occurs. It sounds crazy. It sounds absurd. It's illogical. It doesn't make sense. If you've been twinked, why aren't you a twink?
To me, being a "twink" carries a negative connotation. I don't apply that label unless the twinking seems either disruptive or outrageous (see prev. posts for examples). Just because I'm subjective about labeling doesn't mean my definition is subjective.
Quote:To me, no-twink means you play with what you found. Not what you could have found; not what you are able to find; not what your other character found -- what you found. You call that purist. *shrugs* Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
As Langolier pointed out, it was established DSF jargon from before D2 came out. I daresay your interpretation of the terms springs from hearing them and getting bum definitions.
