	The act of moving around a peice of unwalkable terrain, preferably a 1x1 'pillar' of rock, such that an opponent is forced to chase you round and round, so that they (hopefully) never get a chance to actually attack.		#REDIRECT [[cheating]]

	~~Since in many~~ [[~~Roguelike~~]]s resources like [[Hitpoints]] and [[Mana]] recharge slowly over time, the idea is to delay an attack until the character has hitpoints to survive at least one attack and/or enough mana to cast one spell. (If the opponent is still alive at this point, one generally returns to pillar dancing.)
