Lazer Tag Terms
WoW

Taggies
(noun) There is a nickname for the loud player who constantly shouts, brags about his StarLyte skills, crashes into people, and is generally disagreeable. He is called a "taggie." This is because everyone wants to tag him out. Lazer Tag Sportsmen should avoid being taggies at all times.
Lazer Tag Marshal

Beam
(verb) To use the StarLyte in any attempt to register a hit on a StarSensor.
Prones

Tagpoint
(noun) A Player receives six tagpoints for every person he or she tags out on the opposing team regardless of whether the player has caused all of the score LEDs on the enemy's StarSensor to Turn on. Players are not given any Tagpoints for tagging out people on their own team. If one is caught blocking or cheating in any unacceptable manor, one is penalized by having one to three tagpoints revoked. Players use accumulated Tagpoints to show how good they are at Lazer Tag.

Mentor
(noun) Once one reaches the rank of Duelist, the only further honor you can receive is to become a Mentor. You become a Mentor by training another player all the way from Neophyte to Professional rank. If you train multiple people, you add a number for each person trained (i.e. Mentor 1= Mentor has trained 1 person, Mentor 5= 5 people trained, etc...)
