ogg

(games)/og/ (CMU) 1. In the multi-player space combat gameNetrek, to execute kamikaze attacks against enemy shipswhich are carrying armies or occupying strategic positions.Named during a game in which one of the players repeatedlyused the tactic while playing Orion ship G, showing up in theplayer list as "Og". This trick has been roundly denounced bythose who would return to the good old days when the tactic ofdogfighting was dominant, but as Sun Tzu wrote, "What is ofsupreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy."However, the traditional answer to the newbie question "Whatdoes ogg mean?" is just "Pick up some armies and I'll showyou."

2. In other games, to forcefully attack an opponent with theexpectation that the resources expended will be renewed fasterthan the opponent will be able to regain his previousadvantage. Taken more seriously as a tactic since it hasgained a simple name.

3. To do anything forcefully, possibly without considerationof the drain on future resources. "I guess I'd better go oggthe problem set that's due tomorrow." "Whoops! I looked downat the map for a sec and almost ogged that oncoming car."
