Oh Yeah

Thanx

I've never seen anyone use "FiG" for fire giant... it's just FG.

I usually use FiG, since FG can easily be confused as Frost Giant.

fg can also be used for fg so u nned to add the i

whats a Rax ?

I'm not sure but I think its a barracks.

~The_Dark_Shah

it is a barrack, military acadmey, or long house

Or if you want people to understand you, take a second extra time and write the damn word correctly.

While this is all very nice, if you took the time you would need to learn all this playing you could be 2k

Its a nice reference. Good job

I doubt that's what this is meant for. If somebody stumbles upon an abbreviation they don't know, they can always check back here to see what it means.

Nice job, Mokon. I always thought rax stood for eggy barracks units.

yeah i did this cause it was getting annoying when newbs kept asking what smurf ect
thanx mokon

"Its a nice reference"

"I doubt that's what this is meant for. If somebody stumbles upon an abbreviation they don't know, they can always check back here to see what it means."

Isn't that kinda like what a reference is? You can refer to it for stuff that you don't know?

*reads em all, tries to keep them in head, forgets them all*

good job neway

Yeah well ur not suppost to memorize them all

why is mountain giant so far up the list.. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz is the alphabet

war turtle is up there too... and carcinos ummmm. Its droptricking not "drop ticking".

again most of these things aren't used by ppl and you've just made up and if ppl use them its just confusing.

"I went fh and while laying down some rax rushed his army of kebs with my scy and started owning his chims with my phar.. gg~"

Good job Mokon.

The only problem is that a lot of these are made up, like Dean said. Like when was the last time you've seen a Syclla called Syc or a Scarab Sca?

thoughs are what i have heard ppl use..... while most of the time ppl dont right em in the abb version..

thanx mokon

Like only 1/10 of these abbs are used. Gj anyway. And yes when i say fg i mean firegiant. After all who cares about frost giants .

Abb has only a meaning if the initial word is big. Words like preist, slinger and many others dont need abbs. Creating words isnt usefull either since it only confuses ppl.

Aye. I was referring to Sexy_Dean's post:

"While this is all very nice, if you took the time you would need to learn all this playing you could be 2k"

Are the abbreviations for units used in games or on forums? I must say, I haven't heard even 10% of them used. Another point, my cynical mind also thinks you should add "smurf" to 1600 Zero Gamer.

Useful I guess, but some of those just seem made up . I've never heard of using RamG's to counter Carcs that are attacking my FisB's for example. And nobody I know refers to a Priest as a Pri, or to a Troll as a Tro.

You might want to add things like TY, THX, BRB, NP, IMO, IMHO, FYI, BTW, etc, which sometimes come up in forums or in games.

No kidding ... you could drop 90% of the made-up unit abbrevs and still have a few that aren't used. Pri = Priest? Please.

GJ,
BSR

Posiedon isnt called posei, hes called possy
Also, whats IIRC mean????
Edit: Also, whats AFAIK mean?????

[This message has been edited by Glock_Glock (edited 04-22-2003 @ 05:45 PM).]

i always use posei.... well iu will add some of the ones u suggested

IIRC = if I remember correctly

AFAIK = as far as i know

Well i updated it and took out the less used abbeerivations.

Thanx Mokon
