Jack Carr Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I've been seeing the term: "SPOILER ALERT" used in many different threads. Anyone care to enlighten me as to it's meaning? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Let's say, for example, that you're talking about a scenario which you've downloaded and played. You say "My Tiger reinforcements, which turned up halfway through the game, meant that I was able to smash through the enemy T-34s and win." So two people who are playing head to head on the same scenario read this, and it affects their game because they now have foreknowledge. The German player relaxes because he knows he has Tigers on the way, and the Russian player will probably change his strategy. The information could "spoil" the game for other people, hence the term "spoiler". Hope that clears it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
