It's personal preference. You can verbify taser two ways. You can say someone got tasered, or someone got tased. What does society use?

"Don't tase me bro!"

The point of verbification is to produce a slang term which communicates a big idea in a short span of time. It's not a large stretch of the imagination to truncate terms in the process. Lobbing off the descriptive part of "nightgaunt" during verbification is not only good roleplay.. it's good grammar.

Your examples also suck. There's a big difference between using an object to do something to someone, and an animal doing something to someone. My verbification makes sense. Yours doesn't.

Examples:
If I use wood glue on someone, I "glued" them.
If I tie my shoelaces, I "laced" up.

Counterexamples:
If a lion attacks someone, we don't say "lioned". We say "mauled", "attacked" or "chewed upon". Each of these verbs is already in the dictionary and understood.

If a nightgaunt attacks someone, "gaunted" is the single best verb for describing what happened. Anything else is fluff.





PS: I'm of the opinion that good RP is staying IC and telling a story. I think my way is better than the ways which are suggested in this thread. Everything I've seen suggested here is just a nerdy / silly distraction.
