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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

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