Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
I've always pronounced it owned, it's just used in certain contexts. I've never actually heard any attempt to actually pronounce it though.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
That's why I added "seriously trying to say", asking "hey, how do you think 'pwned' would be said" is perfectly reasonable.
Shouting over voice chat to someone about how "I PWNED YOU!" is awful.Engraved here is a rendition of an image of the Dwarf Fortress learning curve. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It depicts an obsidian overhang which menaces with spikes of obsidian and tears. Carved on the overhang is an image of Toady One and the players. The players are curled up in a fetal position. Toady One is laughing. The players are burning.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
Back when I was still active in online gaming, pwned evolved into pawned (which is how we pronounced it).
Which then evolved into prawned.
Which then evolved into: -=;;;"

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
"Pawned" doesn't sound as annoying as "pvnt", so I go with the latter.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
What I find amusing (because I'm easily amused) is that in the traditional game of Cribbage (shut up) one's opponent is called "'pone'" as a shortening thereof (I'm not lying, you people who would accuse me of doing so, who know who you are) so when I play Cribbage I am seeking to pwn the pone.
It's an antique English drinking game, it's full of stupid things.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
"Bob".
It's my fallback for all things I have no idea how to pronounce
Case in point: I pronounce this word "Bob" ... my life is so much simpler :)

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
To be honest, I didn't even know pwned had a pronunciation. It's like asking for the pronunciation of HAXX0R3D.
Huh, come to think about it, I pronounce it hax-or. Like hacksaw.
So, Pwned - p-owned, only the P is silent.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
On 'cribbage' and other matters:
1 - google cribbage
2 - eyeball the two pictures and the accompanying sagas of text
3 - realise that cribbage may well be the least appropriate activity to acompany drinking next to 'chainsaw limbo', only instead of messy death you risk utter confusion

What are these "triggers"? Why do you need to be safe from them? Who is it who makes you safe, and how?

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
Considering owned/pwned is kinda creepy in implication, it's being phased out in favor of "rekt" (doesn't imply your badonk belongs to the person who wiped the floor with you, still crude enough to be a good trash talk insult) in recent years. And yes, we all know that isn't the proper spelling. Intentional bastardizations/misspellings and unnecessary abbreviations are all part of the fun.
There's a whole thread full of people who can explain what triggers are and why they're guarded against. To sum it up, just think of all the crap that gets your blood boiling and that always seems to start arguments on forums and stuff.Last edited by Jaycemonde; 2015-03-25 at 03:04 AM.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
How do you pronounce "Pwned"? Ideally, you don't.
This is the end. Unless, possibly, it isn't.

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
After reading through this thread, I've decided that from here on out, I'm going to pronounce it like "ponied."

Re: How Do You Pronounce "Pwned"?
I pronounce it "bone" but with a "p" instead of a "b" and a "d" at the end.
