Acronym Dictionary

[tbontob]

Hmmm...

Some of the responses are interesting....

I started this thread with the idea of dealing with Acronyms for the standard SE4 game.

So, what do I do with BOHICA?

Also, some of the Acronyms are for the "advanced" player...such as mods.

So, for the moment, I thought I would put the "non-standard" SE4 stuff into **FUN STUFF AND NOT SO FUN STUFF** and deal with it later.

The **FUN STUFF AND NOT SO FUN STUFF** will be in alphabetical order, so it should be relatively easy for the experienced player to find what he wants.

If someone does know of a better way of doing this, I would like to hear it.

Here's the up to date listing...
