I think the word rape in the context of "Reward Pool Rape" fits the second definition of the word:
"the wanton destruction or spoiling of a place or area:
"the rape of the Russian countryside"
synonyms: destruction · violation · ravaging · pillaging · plundering · desecration"
Sometimes words have more than one meaning. Gay can still mean "happy" too :).
Of course your correct, but that's not the idea that is usually invoked
That's how I always interpreted it. But Reward Pool Plundering or Pillaging sounds good as an alternative too. I don't think we should rob words of their definitions though by saying we shouldn't use them for purposes for which they were intended.
I like pillaging more than plundering. Has a better ring to it.
Yep, reward pool plunder sounds a lot better, and it means the same by definition.
That´s a fact of life, some people are egotistical and some are caring. Put them both to coexist in a network with loose rules, and guess which one takes advantage of which? Just like in the real world IMO.
