Post subject: | Abbreviations |
So as i there are many abbreviations used in the general discussion (like GW=Games Workshop) i just thought i would try to make a list over the most commons ones with explanaiton. The reason i am doing this is because i really used ages to figure some of these out. so..
LOTR = Lord of the rings FOTR = Fellowship of the ring TTT = The two towers ROTK = Return of the king Games Workshop and Games GW = Games Workshop SBG = Strategy battle game WOTR = War of the ring 40k = Warhammer 40000 WHFB = Warhammer Fantasy Battle BOFA = Battle of the five armies Minatures WOMT = Warriors of Minas tirith RoR = Riders of Rohan SkoDa = Swan Knights of Dol Amroth WoMT=Warriors of Minas Tirith MoS=Mouth of Sauron RotN = Rangers of the North RoA = Rangers of Arnor RoG = Rangers of Gondor KoMT = Knights of Minas Tirith GotFC = Guards of the Fountain Court CG = Citadel Guard WKoA=Witch King of Angmar WoR= Warriors of Rohan WE - Wood Elf AotD - Army of the Dead KotD - King of the Dead KG=Khazad Guard IG=Iron Guard OV=Osgiliath Veterans RRG=Royal Rohan Guard BVA=Blackroot Vale Archers SM= Space Marine WOTR Shortcuts EH - Epic Hero Books OR = The one rulebook to rule them all (for SGB) FOG = Fall of Gondolin (a supplement made by people on this site) AOTK = Age of the Kings (yet another supplement by this site) LoME = Legions of Middle Earth MoM=Mines of Moria SotS= Scouring of the Shire sourcebook FotN= Fall of the Necromancer sourcebook ASitE= A shadow in the East sourcebook Tools/Materials PVA=white glue CA glue=Super Glue Around the site OR = One ring (this website) Ringwraiths = The admins and mods on this site PM = Personal/Private message Usual discussion shortcuts AtD = At the Double WYSIWYG = What you see is what you get imo - In my opinion imho = in my honest opinion, imho- Also, In my HUMBLE opinion IMNSHO - In My Not So Humble Opinion wip = work in progress TIA = thanks in advance btw = by the way ES = Epic Strike HTH = hope this helps jsyk = just so you know OP = Original Post np = no problem pov = point of view ATM = At the moment JK = just kidding IRC = internet relay chat IME = In My Experience NMM = Non Metallic Metal SENMM= Sky Earth Non Metallic Metal (aka chrome) LOL = laughing out loud IIRC- If I recall corectly RAW = Rules As Written RAI = Rules As Intended WoT = Wings of Terror (spell) ftw = often and originally "for the win!" but other meanings include...well...let's just say it means it's very good. Not used often here but in other forums and often in IRC ( "KotD ftw!") Other random shortcuts AC=Assassins Creed If you see some that are missing please post them below.. dont know if this will be helpful... And for those relatively new to issues like this, there are often variation in how some are entered. I use a sort of camel-case due to drilled in my head from my programming work. So WotR, FotR, etc. Others go all caps ( WOTR, FOTR, AOTD ). No difference in meaning, just cosmetic. Please note - One Ring does not generally encourage the use of abbreviations, this is just here to help you in the case that you do come across them. |

OR is not only common here for this site but also for the Big Blue Book that was the final SBG core rule set (because of the Ring on the cover). WE - Wood Elf EH - Epic Hero AotD - Army of the Dead And for those relatively new to issues like this, there are often variation in how some are entered. I use a sort of camel-case due to drilled in my head from my programming work. So WotR, FotR, etc. Others go all caps ( WOTR, FOTR, AOTD ). No difference in meaning, just cosmetic. |

KotD - King of the Dead ftw - often and originally "for the win!" but other meanings include...well...let's just say it means it's very good. Not used often here but in other forums and often in IRC ( "KotD ftw!") |

Farmer Giles of Ham needs to edit his first post to include the new acronyms. The sticky idea is pretty cool; someone should PM a mod once the first post has been reorganized... |

Not to hijack (this will be deleted anyway), but why is superglue called CA glue? |
