games /og/ (CMU) 1. In the multi-player space combat game

Netrek, to execute kamikaze attacks against enemy ships

which are carrying armies or occupying strategic positions.

Named during a game in which one of the players repeatedly

used the tactic while playing Orion ship G, showing up in the

player list as "Og". This trick has been roundly denounced by

those who would return to the good old days when the tactic of

dogfighting was dominant, but as Sun Tzu wrote, "What is of

supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy."

However, the traditional answer to the newbie question "What

does ogg mean?" is just "Pick up some armies and I'll show

you."
