It's a gaming twist on legendary Chicago behavior. See, back in the early 1900s, voting was really exciting in Chicago, and someone coined the phrase "Vote early, vote often" because some people just got paid to vote... illegal, of course, but if someone offered you ten bucks (a couple hundred today) to go vote again some place else, could you turn it down?
I twisted that into a gaming mantra of "Save early, save often"... experienced computer gamers know the truth of that one.
And on the W&W board, Wyvern (I think) added the lines of "Save before, save after"... wise words, when you've just completed a major battle and the power suddenly goes out...
