Also ppl's names... S_J = Suicide Junkie, GT= GrowlTigga, IF= Imperator Fyron... we're clearly a bunch aronymaniacs...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Dogscoff, are you trying to derail the dictionary? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But just in case you are serious http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ...how does "Fluffy Bunny Waitress" fit in? Like, BOHICA seems to have some relevance in the sense that a player gets hit with one whammy and then... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Also, I have the highest regard for the people you mentioned. Whenever they post something, I make sure that I read it.

Yet, I am wondering if we are going off topic here. If the consensus is to include these individuals as acronyms, it can be done. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Acronym Dictionary
 
Sorry, I was being a bit facetious. you'd know all about FBWs if you ever stopped in at the cantina.

Actually, your dictionary got me thinking about an idea I had a while ago. I was considering some sort of "forum encyclopedia" in which we record all the knowledge, lore and "history" of the forum. Things we've discussed (Sweet Tea, SEIV light-speed, SEIV is like sex because...) , characters and events we've created (All the stuff that happens in the Cantina, basically), prestigious threads (ie "pirate's life" and "how old are you") and other things like that.

Not sure why anyone would do all this (other than to satisfy my own sad, obsessive vanities) but it could be a laugh.

But yeah, I'm way OT. I'll shut up now.

Heh, there's another acronym for you: OT.

OK. Shutting up...

...now...

Oh boy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

A forum encylopedia would be massive! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I do not even have the courage to think about it, nevermind considering doing it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ships:
ES = Escort
FF = Fast Frigate
DD = Destroyer
LC = Light Cruiser
CC = Cruiser
BC = BattleCrusier
BB = Battleship
DN = Dreadnaught
CV = Carrier, (yes it is a duplicate but should be able to pick up from context)

Those are the easy ones.
Anybody with the ones I missed?

Why stop with a Forum encyclopedia? Make it a Space Empires Encylclopedia. A complete referance with everything to newbie help and game strategy tips, to explanations of the stuff that goes on in the forum on a regular basis.

My suggestion for a name would be the Encyclopedia Malfadorica.

Ok, I gave it a name. Now who wants to do the easy part and throw the thing together. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
