Add Oil

[Thana8088]

Heyyyyy so it's likely that very few people here know me, but when I first started on p99 back in 2010 I joined a guild of super sweet players from Asia (totally can't remember the name but for some reason "DAP" is bouncing around in my pot-riddled brain), and when they wanted guildees to work harder, they would say "Add oil."

I have loved and used this expression in my life ever since. <3

Anyone else remember this phrase or that guild? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It used to be poor form to be the only response to your own post, but I'm sure it's totally cool now.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"Add oil" is what Mandarin Chinese speakers say for things like try harder or good effort, etc.

Hah, no. I haven't logged in since early 2016. I think I retired somewhere in the Wakening Lands. Too much going on to even think about letting this game get its hooks in me. Otherwise, things are going pretty good.

Still making silly movies for my D&D campaign with Skyrim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GEr1trcAHM

This reminds me that woot literally, did it come from everquest?

I remember in south karana seeing text like

a says ooc "woot"
b says ooc "what is woot?"
c says ooc "woot is woot!"
defhijketc "woot"

or is it from other online games at the same time?
