Frag (military) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (393 words)
Frag is a term from the Vietnam War, most commonly meaning to assassinate an unpopular member of one's own fighting unit by dropping a fragmentation grenade into the victim's tent at night.
The intended victim of a fragging was sometimes given warnings, of which the first might be a grenade pin on the sheet of the victim, and later on, a tear gas grenade.
Fragging might also occur if a commander freely took on dangerous or suicidal missions, especially if he was deemed to be seeking glory for himself.
Frag (video gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (406 words)
This leads to the game theoretical consequence that one should engage in combat with another player unless severely outmatched because the potential benefit (one frag) outweighs the potential harm (lost time for respawning and the opponent, who may not be ranked first, getting a frag).
In this context the term "frag" is used to replace 'killing' or 'dying' as these terms are final - whereas first person shooters usually allow respawning (instant or almost instant reincarnation).
The usage of the term fragging is also a response to advocates of computer game censorship, who argue that violence in games can cause violence in real life.
