If you haven't noticed, Dakka has a glossary that automatically give definitions for abbreviated words, such as GW or ROTFL.

If you have any suggestions for commonly used miniature gaming or general internet abbreviations that you've noticed haven't yet been added to the glossary please post them in this thread, along with a clear description of what the abbreviation means (and what game they apply to, or rather if they are a general abbreviation).


Here a few guidelines as to whether an abbreviation can be added to the glossary:

The glossary is for the entire forum, we can't make forum specific glossaries.

Definitions should be as succinct as possible.

The abbreviation can only be a single word (so no two-word combination abbreviations).

The glossary recognizes the word when surrounded by a space or punctuation, so GW and .GW. will show up because both are surrounded by spaces or punctuation, but GWGW won't work because there aren't spaces or punctuation around both sides of it.

The one exception to the above rule is plurality. Any abbreviation entered will also be automatically recognized by the system with an 's' attached to the end. So 'GW' will also automatically also be recognized as 'GWs'

I especially need suggestions from non-40K gamers who can let me know about some of the abbreviations used on aregular basis in other games that I have no idea about (since I mainly just play 40K).


Thanks for your help!

Here is a list of abbreviations submitted to the glossary that were rejected because they are also commonly used words (or become commonly used words in their plural form).


A = Attack Characteristic [40K,WHFB] -- ('a' is a commonly used single letter)
AT-43 = After Trauma, Year 43 [AT-43] -- (it uses a 'dash' symbol)
b/c = Because [GEN] -- (it uses a forward-slash '/' symbol)
I = Initiative Characteristic [40K,WHFB] -- ('I' is a commonly used single letter)
HA = Heavy Armor [WHFB] -- ('has' is a commonly used word)
LOCK = Warlocke [WM] -- ('lock' is a commonly used word)
w/ = With [GEN] -- (it uses a forward-slash '/' symbol)

Question, Why are there some in the main list that are white and give no definition?

Previously, we were doing some tweaks on the glossary system that involved case sensitivity which caused some of the definitions to go offline for a bit. That is fixed now.

Now, if you ever see any of the abbreviations in the 'master list' not displaying it is because they were just recently added to the system and it takes a few days for the database to incorporate the change.

Emperors Faithful wrote:
JFR = Just F*thing RUN!
MoG = Moment of Glory
TWF = That was Fun!
RWBM = Revenge Will Be MINE!

Doing a quick search of the forums shows me that these abbreviations are not being used on Dakka. The goal of the glossary system is to provide clarity for abbreviations used on this forum, not simply to try to catalog every possible abbreviation.

Drk_Oblitr8r wrote:St. = Sait
Mnt= Mountain
etc

As I mentioned before, we aren't trying to add every single abbreviation known to man, only those that are commonly used on this forum that people new to the hobby wouldn't know about.


As for everyone else, your suggestions have been added and will start showing up in a few days as the site cache is reset.

Gwar! wrote:Quick Question: Is there a technical limitation that would prevent ++ showing up as a tooltip?

I am thinking that ++ could tooltip as:
Invulnerable Save [40k]
Ward Save [WHFB]

as many people seem to use this format (Like saying a TH/SS terminator has a 2+/3++ save) and it would help out people who don't know what it is.

Yeah unfortunately the glossary can only be used for letters and numbers. No other symbols can be included.

Ok, thought it might be useful to include the Tau Crisis suit configurations in these, since a lot of people don't know what they are.

I know they're not acronyms, but they'd be useful, and surely the Glossary works with full words, right?

Fireknife - Tau Crisis suit with Plasma Rifle, Multi-Tracker, Missile Pod [40k]

Deathrain - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Missile Pod, Drone Controller and 2 Gun Drones [40k]

Sunforge - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Fusion Blaster and Shield Generator [40k]

Burning Eye - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Plasma Rifle and Target Lock [40k]

Blinding Spear - Tau Crisis suit with Plasma Rifle, Burst Cannon and Multi Tracker [40k]

GJ- Good Job or GI Joe.
DP- Daemon Prince
JS- Jon Stewart
FTF- For the Fail!

Alpharius wrote:How often do new terms get added to the Glossary?

When I muster up the courage to do it. As you can see you posted this back in August and I'm getting around to adding a batch right now.

I know its bad to say this, but if someone PMs me with a specific request to get something they put into this thread added, it often does prod me on to go and do it.

But everything submitted in this thread should be entered and showing up in new threads shortly...with a few exceptions for some of the general terms suggested that I've never personally seen used on Dakka.

Could we perhaps have MG be meltagun, as PG is plasmagun?

Also, for SW, a WTT (wolf tail talisman) and a WTN (wolf tooth necklace). TWL- Thunder Wolf Lord.

Perhaps RP for Rules Pending?

I second: LRR (land raider redeemer), PW, PE (from Gwars post).

I don't think SNAFU is on the list. Situation Normal: All Fethed Up.

/tg/

SOL

Heard these frequently... had o have someone explain them to me.

RoC - Rule of Cool

WS - White Scars. One of the least mainstream mainstream SM chapters!

For 'Gen' you only have 'general' which should be replaced with/supplemented by the far more appropriate 'generation'.

As in 'next gen' etc.

DT - Dedicated Transport [40k].

WWP - webway portal
HL - Heat lance



Automatically Appended Next Post:
HB - haywire blaster

(Ninja'd on the WWP!)

HG - Haywire grenades
(Can't believe no-ones got this one) DL - dark lance

NWS - nemesis warding stave

dreadknightl wrote:NWS - nemesis warding stave

That's already done.

RB: Relic Blade.

IA - In addition

PH-Pshycic Hood [40K]
DM-Daemon Weapon [40K&WHFB]
BL-Bright Lance[Eldar]

^ That Daemon Weapon should be DW

Theirs FPS for first person shooter, but theirs no RTS for real time strategy.

MOT-Might Of Titan (GK)

Soon to be a common term when GW releases it,

LGS-Liquid Green Stuff (GW)

Also,

BoW-Beasts of War

DHG=Dwarf Handgun [Dwarves]
EB=Envenomed Blade [DE]
IH=Ionhead [Tau]

CCK Citadel Clean Kit

ASL => Always Strikes Last (WFB)

YF-Yakface

LB-Legoburner

I would think that Yak and Lego are good enough.

DCCW Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon

Ac = arch capitalist

ITG: Internet Tough Guy [Gen]

ITGS: Internet Tough Guy Syndrome [Gen]

OVL - Overlord

SpB - Support Barge

DDA - Doomsday Ark

CCB - Catacomb Command Barge

LG - Lychguard

RP [reanimation protocols 40k] (new necrons)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
DM [deatmasks 40k]

MW - Matt Ward. [40k]
People refer to him often when discussing codexs.

Should we have a 'choose the intended meaning' thing? Just curious because we have got a lot of abbreviations now.

More abbreviations - for Necron Cryptek users:

HoT - Harbringers of Transmogrification
HoS - Harbringers of the Storm
HoE - Harbringers of Eternity

I'm not sure about Harbringers of Despair or Destruction, because you would end up with something like HoDesp and HoDest. Unless you could think of a better solution.

Juust HoD with both.

I guess just using context is probably the way to go. Another question - should we add RP - Reanimation Protocols, and remove WBB - We'll be back? Few people will use the old term.

Ya, I already asked for RP on this page

LGS = Liquid Green Stuff

DW - Dystopian Wars
US - Uncharted Seas
FA - Firestorm Armada

OtD - Orikan the Diviner
OE - Orikan Empowered

EGT - Eldar Grav Tank

TT - Tabletop

TT already stands for Team Tournament, but I've seen this abbreviation used often.

After discussing Necrons a lot, the most I run into now are.

OL- Overlord
CCB- Catacomb Command Barge
RP- Reanimation Protocol
ES- Entropic Strike
WS- Warscythe
GC- Gauss Cannon
HGC- Heavy Gauss Cannon
GA- Ghost Arks
DD- Doomsday
NS- Nighscythe
DS- Doom Scythe
Dlord- Destroyer Lord
RoC- Rod of Covenant


These are just the most common I've used, or seen used so far.

Perhaps we sould have AAC for accept any challenge,no matter the odds the Black Templar vow

I've often stumbled across words around these forums, that I'd preferred had had a glossary attached.

Often those are models, that have seen frequent use in many, many lists, and hence have had a nickname given. As those aren't always clear, it'd be nice to have these added to the glossary.

These includes words, such as:
Rifledread (Autocannon Dread)
Psyfledread (Autocannon with Psy-ammo Dread)
Dakkafex (Dual Twin-Linked Devourer Carnifex)
Flyrant (Winged Hive Tyrant)
Jetlock (Warlock on Jetbike)
etc.

Eventually, you catch on to these nicknames. But it'd be nice to have them added, as newer users won't always know the exact meaning of these.

I would also second both TT for tabletop and Billinator's post.

Can we get MSU for 40K as well? A lot of poss in 40K have it and I think it would be appropriate.

Well I see that RP (reanimation Protocols) has been mentioned already, but I think EL (Ever Living) should be in the list too.

YKTSF = You Know That Sinking Feeling...
YKTRF= You Know That Rising Feeling...

Click the Sinking Feeling link in my sig for more info.

VB- Void Blade
PC- Particle Caster
WC- Whip Coils

HCT: Certain DCM Thread.

YKTSF: you know that sinking feeling you get when...
YKTRF: you know that rising feeling you get when...

MitM = Mind in the Machine (I think that this is a special rule that will be referenced A LOT within the coming months and years)

TTS for table-top-standard (painting)

and YKTSFW for "you know the sinking feeling when....." for the game we have on this forum.

RP: Rune Priest
FotWS: Fury of the Wolf Spirits

Thabks, Lego/Yak!

BF = Battlefront
FiB = Forged in Battle
PSC = Plastic Soldier Company

Is SS - Schutzstaffel [WWII GEN] not part of the glossary for 'political' reasons or has it simply not been suggested.

On behalf of Dakka's Infinity Community could we have the following terms added to the Dakka glossary. This will probably be followed by some smaller waves at a later date.

Super Dungeon Explore. Is it possible to get SDE added to the glossary? The game is growing in popularity and SDE has been used often enough to justify the addition.

Please, please.

TTWG= Table Top Wargaming.

Could we have YKTSFW and YKTRFW for the Sinking feeling thread? Standing for "You the Sinking (and rising respectivly) feeling when"?

Hovering over BRB suggests Be Right Back or Big Red Book (WHFB).

Can we add Basic Rule Book and reference 40k and WHFB? And any other system?
Seems... limiting... to reference a specific color. That and, being colorblind, I try not to use color to denote things - so when I reference the BRB and someone says "The fantasy rulebook?" I get frustrated.

Throwing a bunch of Brushfire terms out there...

LC - Lord Commissar.
This is actually pretty widely used.

Something should be decided on for the 6th edition rulebook. Whether this means using something like B6B or simply changing BRB's meaning to "Big RuleBook", I would suggest something is done so that we don't have to go to the trouble of writing out the whole of "6th ed rulebook"

Edit: Also, LARP should be added. It may have nothing to do with tabletop wargameing, but it's still a frequent term.

SED or better yet, 6ED for 6th edition. Pretty clear, and easily followed with 7ED and so forth later on.

BUB: Big Unforgiven Book

Since we have not had a special 5th edition version of the 40K BRB, or special separate versions of the 7th or 8th edition WFB BRB, we really have no reason to make this any more complicated than needed.

BRB refers to the current rulebook, simple as that. If people want to talk about an out of date rulebook then they should clarify by "the 5th Ed BRB" the same way they would have to talk about 4th Ed right now.

Do we have an appreviation for every ruleset?

BRB works just fine. I don't see a reason to change it.

I think SW should also refer to Sedition Wars, though I suppose its a bit early to know if it is that popular

But if I were to refer to the 4th edition I'd say the BGB. And if I referred to the 3rd edition I'd say BBB. I'm not saying that we can't use BRB for 6th, it's just that it currently says "Big Red Book" in the mouseover, which I would suggest changing to "Big RuleBook".

Big RuleBook would be a good addition. It seems the majority of people have been using BRB for 5th already, so that would be an easy chance to keep.

LOS may have to be updated to include "Look out, sir!" for 40k now that the new edition has the same rule.

Actually I've added most of those now. They'll start showing up in new threads started, but it will take a while for them to be seen in existing threads (like this one).

The ones I didn't add were either due to the fact that I did a search and didn't see them in use or they used abbreviations that are too commonly used as regular words (like TO being Thermo-Optic, since 'to' is used way too frequently).

FMC- Flying Monsterous Creature.
Expect to see that a lot

I don't know the process for adding these, but considering Hull Points, Snap Shots, and Aegis Defense Line (to a lesser degree) will probably be terms thrown around a lot in this edition it seems to make sense to add them to the list.

I noticed that US doesn't show as United States. I have no idea why people would need to be told it means United States, but it comes up now and then in the off-topic forum.

RT: Rogue Trader RPG
DW: Deathwatch RPG
BC: Black Crusade RPG
OW: Only War RPG

Since 6th needs some specifications when it comes to close combat weapons, the following?

PS- Power Sword
PA- Power Axe
PM- Power Maul
PL- Power Lance

Probably because every time someone used the word "us" it would link?

I dont think it can distinguish upper and lower case.

It can. For example: to does nothing, but TO links to tournament organizer.

Sorry if my constant posting of things I notice is a problem, but could VR link to Voidraven bomber please?

Edit: No point in creating a new post for another suggestion, which is making HW hard-wired for tau.

SFTP - Straight from the pot, for when I'm referring to not mixing anything in with my paints. Coz I'm smart like that

Just a correction.

FO currently pops up the glossary of "Forward Observe"
This should be "Forward Observer" with an 'r' at the end; it's an ability in the game, not an action.
http://infinitythegame.wikispot.org/Forward_Observer

I'd agree with SDE for Super Dungeon Explore, and SW for Sedition Wars.

Could we get KS as Kickstarter [GEN], perhaps?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the AGL has a typo; it's supposed to be "astartes", not "asartes".

Skyfire = SF (40k)

'versed' = played against

(it's not a word)

EDIT - oh hold on, this is glossary, and I was looking for the auto-replace filter thingy. Ignore me

Veterans of the Long War, have it added as VLW [40k - Chaos Space Marines] or even VotLW [40k - Chaos Space Marines].

GoM Gift of Mutation [40k - Chaos Space Marines]

Imma say WL-Warlord[40K]. With the new rules, WLs are needed. Right now it pops as wraithlord, but hey, people can tell from context

ABG - Armoured Battle Group [40k]

Hmm, this is probably too difficult to do easily, but would it be possible to have something in the "edit profile" page where you could choose which Glossary definitions come up and which don't? For example, given that I only play 40k, it would only give glossary terms tagged with 40k or GEN.

I have seen this around the Warmahordes forums recently, IFP, Iron Fang Pikemen, really long phrase for army lists and general discussion

can i suggest FoR = fortress of redemption

I would suggest CCW to have Concealed Carry Weapon attached too, as it reads oddly when people in Off-Topic are discussing their cousins having the licences for Close Combat Weapons. I imaginehillbillies with chainswords.

How about BA for Bolt Action?

RPS: Rock Paper Scissors (GEN)

Just noticed there is a mistake on the glossary entry for Rod of Covenant for Necrons.

RoC currently reads: 'Rod of Covenant (Necrons0 [40k]'

Which should be '(Necrons)'

Okay, I've added all the suggestions in this thread up to this point (at least those that are being used on a regular basis in the forums), so you should start seeing the new stuff pop up in the next few days as the database cache recycles.

DI - Daemonic Instability

"Dyslectic" and "dyslexia" as the word "A conical reading and writing dissabillity."

The word "cronical" gives it more weight as opposed to "permanent" witch suggests that it is medical. I am not shure baout the word dissabillity but I can not come up with a better term.

The suggestions are put forward from the discussion in this thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/505863.page

In an effort to to help you out:

"Dyslectic", "dyslexia" - "A chronic reading and writing disability."

Can you add in "TEQ", which means "Terminator Equivalent", please? I've seen it around quite a bit, almost as often as "MEQ".

Helios: Plasma Rifle + Fusion Blaster
Bladestorm / Blinding Spear / Aurora: Plasma Rifle + Burst Cannon
Fireforge: Missile Pod + Fusion Blaster

Thunderstorm: Shas'Vre Burst Cannon + Airbursting Fragmentation Projector
Ion Knife: Cyclic Ion Blaster + Plasma Rifle
Ion Storm: Cyclic Ion Blaster + Burst Cannon
Burning Eye: Twinlinked Plasma Rifle
Heatwave: Twinlinked Flamer

WE - World Eaters [40K]

SW - Shadow Warriors [WFB]

I think that we really need to get "IF" to come up as "Irresistible Force". Lower case, obviously, wouldn't trigger it though.

I never really see IF used in that context. If people want to shorten it, I usually just see "The Fists" or something along that lines. Confusion with the Crimson Fists I guess though...

CHA for Caledonian Highland Army (for Infinity) would be good, such a fiddly thing to write in full.

NIB for "New in Box" under [GEN] would be nice for those on the Dakka Swap Shop (once including me ) who wheren't sure what NIB meant and had to Google it...

We're going to need EC soon for the MMO, "Eternal Crusade."

Hmm.. perhaps not just EC though since there's already 4 like abbreviations... Maybe ECru? Et.Cru? E-C? E.C.? Idk.. something.

CT [Chapter Tactics (Space Marines) [40K]

Could MGS also include the meaning MeanGreenStompa (dakkanaut)? I've been here a while and I think it's fairly commonly used to mean an abbreviation of my username.

MSSS for Mult-Spectrum Sensor Suite.

I've seen VV pop up for Vanguard Veterans (Space Marines) [40K] a lot.

AoF for "Act of Faith". Would be pretty useful.

Can we have DFG for Dreamforge Games?

While I totally dig this I think it might be impractical.

I also abbreviate Morathi's Darkest Sin (MDS), AgeOfEgos (AoE), Kilkrazy / Kid_Kyoto (confusingly, both KK)... and that's just from the mods!

KoW for Kings of War.

I think a few are missing for the new C:AS (Codex: Adepta Sororitas) such as:

BSS - Battle Sister Squad ; I notice this pops up the BS links too when it probably shouldn't?
LH - Laud Hailer
SI - Simulacrum Imperialis

OOE = Old One Eye

Dude no -- KK as opposed to K_K.

Plus K_K is an emoticon representative of Kid_Kyoto's deadpan absurdism.

I feel the need to correct; DKoK is Death Korps of Krieg, not Death Korps of Kreig.

I may not like them, but right should be right.

By NIB, do you mean MISB, MIB, NOS, or just plain NIB? Is it AFA?!

In light of recent events, I'd like to bump my request for DFG to have a tooltip for Dreamforge Games, to make clear they are different than Defiance Games.

If "no" is the answer, that's cool, but the situation has changed a little since October and may warrant another look, is why I mention it.

Hello, I think dakka is missing two very important words in its glossary: post scriptum PS and post post scriptum PPS.

Hey. I don't know, in both of those cases I think more people are familiar with the abbreviations than the actual phrases. And I don't think I've seen either of them used on this site, possibly ever.

WV for Warhammer Visions and WDW for White Dwarf Weekly.

HP for Hull Point(s)

And ppm for 'points per model'

Don't know if it has been mentioned but:

IOW - in other words
S&P - Slow & Purposeful

 Happyjew wrote:

The first one is added.

The second one is a no-go because we can't do things with punctuation in them (the & symbol).

Oh, and AM for 'Astra Militarum'

And probably MT for "Militarum Tempestus" too, while we're on it.

I would love if these were implemented
++ = invulnerable save
FA = Farsight Enclaves

BFG: big freaking gun (or whatever the Dakka swear filter would change the more vulgar original term to). It's originall a video game term but I've heard it applied to minis with oversized guns as well.

CAD = Combined Arms Detachment

KMK = kustom mega-kannon (new mek gun from the ork codex)
W!G = Waaagh! Ghazghkull (ork supplement)

RRT = Robotech RPG Tactics

new miniatures wargame, and used extensively already as an acronym in the 200-page Robotech RPG Tactics thread in the Misc Miniatures Forum and in it's sister thread discussing the rules

Don't know if this will pass the test but:

AF-Arco-Flagellant
XH-Xenos Hunter
DCA- Death Cult Assasin (Inquisitor)
SHT- Super Heavy Tank

PSC - Plastic Soldier Company.

use these

ARM
AS
ATA

FLGWS
FGWS

(Friendly local GW store)

VBCW = Very British Civil War

ACT - A Cup Of Tea

IKISC - Imperial Knights is soooo cheesy.

SG = stretch goal

and maybe remove the "Specialist Game" definition, which seems defunct

SPM = Soda Pop Miniatures

SW- Star Wars
I know it's already got 5 entries but this seems sensible?

BA=Big Ass

As in: Big ass army

ME = Maelstrom's Edge.

AOS =Age of Sigmar.

Does anyone know what 'AF' stands for in the context of Infinity (the game)?

It seems like it gets used a fair amount for Infinity related discussion, but I have no idea what it stands for.

PE = Photo Etch [another name for etch brass]

AoS=Age of Sigmar

Literally two posts above yours.

BT - Blood Tithe points

AM = Adeptus Mechanicus
IB = Ironstrider Balistarii
CEP = Corpuscarii Electro-Priests
FEP = Fulgurite Electro-Priests

DV - Dark Vengeance (starter kit) [40k]
Frequently used in that context but the only guide is something else unrelated.

Can forum mods add Da Lucky Stikk to the acronym DLS for when you mouse over it?

I know what it is, but I remember how helpful that were when I was new.

OTS=Out to Sea.

To be used when discussing hurricanes.

Don't meant to be a jerk, but hurricanes aren't really a big important thing to this site, so terms for them aren't a priority for the glossary, I suspect.

Yeah, that's most likely NGH.

AF= Acheron Falls. The rumored title of the next book for the game. Just in case you don't know, current books are N3 (3rd edition rulebook) ,HS ( Human Sphere) and CP (Campaignaradiso) or sometimes C yeah, it renders the orkmoticon. So Campaign : Paradiso

MFD - Multiple Formation Detachment

Is it widely used? I just see people calling it X-curion.

Well, at least somewhat, to the point where it might be handy to have it glossaried.

It's picked up somewhat. I do have a vested interest in standardizing the terms for multiple formation detachments. X-Curion is a very ugly term.

Not content with your Taucurion?

(Seriously, ^ seems like the most commonly used term.)

Still, it's picked up some steam, so that it might be nice to include it.

 Ashiraya wrote:

I haven't seen "Taucurion" used much, actually. I mostly hear Hunter Contingent or just Contingent.
"Decurion" actually means something (A Roman cavalry officer or town council member), so replacing the "De" with something else makes no sense.

Well, a Decurion doesn't technically mean a Necron formation either, so it's not really a factor what it originally meant as it is just one bastardised use instead of another.

 Ashiraya wrote:

In the game it does.

My suggestions:
DLS = Da' Lucky Stikk (Orks) [40K]
MFF = Mega Force Field (Orks) [40K]
MANZ = Mega Armoured Nobz (Orks) [40K]

 Ghaz wrote:

You know what I meant.

Also, if we are going to be like that, it is a detachment, not a formation.

And the purpose of the Dakka glossary is for "... commonly used miniature gaming or general internet abbreviations..." so why bring up a definition which doesn't apply?

It might be a little backwards, but is it possible to suggest an exception to Dakka glossary? Having random words illuminated in the Dakka Fiction section is a little unfortunate.

Especially common spoken terms like "da", "lass" and "c'mon"...
I appreciate it may not be possible, but you don't ask, you don't find out.

 Ghaz wrote:

This is irrelevant to the point (which was that Xcurion works because in this context the 'Decurion' term is not related to its original Roman usage). IOW, in a historical context Xcurion would make no sense, but here it does because it is just as bastardised either way.

And it is relevant to where it is posted. This thread is for suggesting terms for the Dakka glossary, not discussing etymology.

If so, I do not see why you direct it at me. I am only arguing that Xcurion (such as Taucurion) is a widely used term for the subject and as such is viable, and I feel like I was pulled into something that had nothing to do with that.

I am not even sure of what we are debating right now.

HBD - Hades Breaching Drill (DKoK)

DI - Doctrina Imperatives (Skitarii, 40K)
CotO - Canticles of the Omnissiah (Cult Mechanicus, 40K)

IHIW - I Hate It When
LNID - Last Night I Dreamt
AO - Area of Operation
WSS - Waffen SchutzStaffel

Mr. Regul:

Hopefully, GW slows its pace down, but you could add these tau acronyms?

CFP - Coordinated Fire Power. The 'broken' power in the Tau book.

MSS - Multi-Spectrum Suite

C&CN - Command and Control Node

PF = Profit Factor (Rogue Trader RPG)

DWO= Deathwatch Overkill

BAC = Betrayal at Calth. I see this one all over the damn place.

DzC for Dropzone Commander would probably be handy to include because people rarely if ever call it by its full name.
Maybe also good to include DfC for the upcoming Dropfleet Commander.

PB = Paragon Blade (30k)

MFSM = Motherf&@*ing Sea Monster, because you never know and because I just posted in the DCM Mosh Pit under 'best story of the week' thread, a story I saw today about same.

CBT - Classic BattleTech
DV - Dark Vengeance
DWO - Deathwatch Overkill
BaC - Betrayal at Calth


NISB - New in Sealed Box / Blister


Correction:
CV for Confident Veteran (not "DV")

CBT - Classic BattleTech

'Classic' was dropped from the BattleTech name as early as 2008 when the Dark Age line was discontinued.

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/BattleTech_(board_game)#History

Yeah, and "Warhammer Fantasy Battles" was discontinued a while back, but people still refer to WFB.

Apples and oranges. Catalyst Games Lab has removed the name 'Classic' from any product that had it in new print runs.

So? CBT still refers to CBT.

No, it doesn't. It was simply used to differentiate it from the discontinued Dark Ages clicky game. When it was discontinued, the necessity for the 'Classic' prefix was no longer there so the name changed back in subsequent print runs. Each and every 'Classic' BattleTech product was replaced with a new printing. At this point in time, there is no such thing as 'Classic' BattleTech. It is simply BattleTech.

IME the "CBT" acronym is fairly current - these days used more and more to distinguish CBT from Alpha Strike.

 Manchu wrote:

My online experience with BattleTech is pretty much limited to the official forums. 'CBT' is never used. They occasionally use 'BTech' for BattleTech, 'MWDA' for MechWarrior Dark Age (WizKid's clicky game) and 'Alpha Strike' for Alpha Strike.

GM- Dakka's Geek Media section, if we're keeping it labelled as such...

Some X-Wing ones would be really useful. It's currently quite easy to get lost when people are talking about upgrades (and some of the acronyms are already in the glossary for other things). Here are some of the most common:

PS = Pilot Skill [X-Wing]
FCS = Fire-Control System [X-Wing]
LRS = Long Range Scanners [X-Wing]
EPT = Elite Pilot Talent [X-Wing]
PTL= Push the Limit [X-Wing]
EU = Engine Upgrade [X-Wing]
CS = Crack Shot [X-Wing]
HLC = Heavy Laser Cannon [X-Wing]
TLT = Twin Laser Turret [X-Wing]
ACD = Advanced Cloaking Device [X-Wing]
SPA = Stygium Particle Accelerator [X-Wing]
TC = Targeting Computer [X-Wing]
ATC = Advanced Targeting Computer [X-Wing]
APL = Anti-Pursuit Lasers [X-Wing]
TIE2 = Twin Ion Engine Mk.II [X-Wing]

GHB for The General's Handbook for AoS.

GSC = GeneStealer Cult.

Note that's all within a BT context. CBT / BTAS if you're not automatically defaulting to a BT context. MWDA is self-explanatory in both cases.

SoS = Sisters of Silence

BoP = Burning of Prospero (HH/30k)

Apologies if it has been said before: KDK = Khorne Daemonkin

Okay, most everything that was suggested (which actually gets any use on the site) since the last time I posted in this thread (June 2015, has it really been that long?) has been added.

Thanks to everyone who still takes the time to suggest things in this thread, it is very, very helpful, even if they don't get added all that often.

It can take a while for the stuff added to start showing up in new posts, so be patient...and it doesn't tend to repopulate old posts, so you'll only tend to see it added to new posts you make with those abbreviations.

Just remember a couple things before you make suggestions:


1) Any abbreviation that contains any kind of punctuation (including the & or : symbols) cannot be added to the system.

2) Please make sure you use our 'search' function for any item you're suggesting and verify that it is actually being used regularly (by someone besides yourself). If it isn't being used regularly, then it isn't worth including (because every item added to the glossary does put a tiny bit more strain on our database).


Thanks again!

RttS = Return to the Shadows (Genestealer Cults) [40K]

HPCM - Holo Photon Countermeasures [Tau] [40k]
PN - Puretide Engram Nanochip [Tau] [40k]

Just noticed that BL doesn't resolve Black Legion.

A couple Ork ones that would be useful.

BP = Boss Pole, probably the most common ork character gear
RR = Reinforced Ram, the most common ork vehicle upgrade
DLS = Da Lucky Stikk, a popular ork relic
DFK = Da Finkin Kap, the other popular ork relic

Works fine on my iPad. Tap on the abbrevation and the popup appears.

Not working, it's an up to date OS and a Pro so everything should be ok on my end :/

CP - Command Point(s) for 40k 8th edition.

I'm also wondering if it's maybe time to give the glossary a review and remove some of the terms which no longer apply due to edition changes, discontinued games, etc.

FoC - Fires of Cyraxus

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of old stuff floating around in there, but its not really easy to print out a big list to post here for people to peruse (and its too much work for me alone to try to figure that stuff out). Plus, we do have a lot of old conversations found throughout the forums that if people do end up going back and reading (for whatever reason) its nice to possibly have those old abbreviations still clarified.

Honestly, I think the best bet is just to let me know when you spot an abbreviation tip that is completely and totally irrelevant and I'll just change/remove those as needed.

Verviedi wrote:FoC - Fires of Cyraxus

If you're going to suggest an abbreviation, you need to tell me what its from (don't make me hunt down what you're talking about).

lindsay40k wrote:HWR - Horus Was Right

We only include abbreviations that are regularly used on the site. You need to use the 'search' function for every abbreviation you want to submit, and if it isn't regularly used by people (besides yourself), then it isn't a good candidate for inclusion. From what I can tell, 'HWR' has never been used on this site as 'Horus Was Right'.

Fires of Cyraxus is a much delayed Forworld book that includes the Tau vs Admech and and I believe new up to date red scorpian rules including a former chapter master lev dread.

It was previewed about a year ago.

Yes, adding onto that, DoM as Doom Of Mymaera (another FW book). Mostly because Mymaera is hard to spell.

Better idea - Add names to IA numbers. Say, if I wrote IA13 - the dictionary would say "Imperial Armour 13: War Machines Of The Lost And The Damned"

Why single me out when there are plenty of other suggestions that are by far worse? It's common enough in talks about SW tactics.

As for a suggestion, I would like to suggest SR for Stormraven as it's pretty much a key component of any SM list that wants to win now.
