Could you people please give me all the ''shortcuts'' for sentences like
''IIRC: If I Recall Correctly''

Alson has made a list for me a couple of weeks ago but... i seem to lost them and now I really need them again (just 2 understand what people are saying)

I know that there are some acronyms in Dundee's sticky thread but... not the funny one's..

Could somebody plz summ them all up so I can print them out... most of them I know.. though not specificly..

Anybody?

Sir Exxon · 02-20-2003, 03:21 PM

Ok, let's see...

LOL: Laugh Out Loud
ROFL: Rolling On Floor Laughing
LMAO: Laughing My Ass Off
RO(T)FLMAO: Rolling On (The) Floor Laughing My Ass Off
IIRC: If I Recall/Remember Correctly
AFAIK: As Far As I Know
IM(H)O: In My (Humble) Opinion
IMNSHO: In My Not So Humble Opinion

Those are the common ones, I'll have to dig deep into my brain to come up with some of the more unused.

[EDIT] These are some of the BG2-specific ones:
MMM: Melfs Minute Meteors
ApR: Attack per Round
ADHW: Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting

Look this.

I think a list of BG specific acronyms would be an excellent idea. I usually work them out eventually when people use them, but I remember it took me about 3 weeks to work out what ApR meant (and I'd never even USED MMM so I had no idea there for ages)

Annatar · 02-20-2003, 04:59 PM

Yes I think so 2, okay Dundee has posted some of the acronyms in his sticky thread.. but not all of them..
The list Sir Exxon has made for me should also be included in Dundee's sticky post IMHO.

It would be nice when he adds more of them.. because for noobs, that are not used to be on a forum will have a hard time de-coding those acronyms... As you see I have the same difficulties now..

Vedran that list is to BIG

... it's like finding a needle in a hai stack..

but thx..

a bg2 specific one that jumps immediately to mind is foa or Flail of Ages

SixOfSpades · 02-20-2003, 07:06 PM

MoD: Mace of Disruption (some may clarify by adding a +1 or +2)
DoE: Defender of Easthaven (also known as the DoE+2, even though it's actually +3)
CF: Usually means Celestial Fury, but can also sometimes mean Crom Faeyr (most people abbreviate it "Crom")
SotM: Staff of the Magi
AoP: Amulet of Power
RoP, CoP: Ring or Cloak of Protection (either +1 or +2)
AoF: Armor of Faith (spell)
DUHM: Draw Upon Holy Might (spell)

THAC0: To Hit Armor Class 0
AC: Armor Class
SoA: Shadows of Amn
ToB: Throne of Bhaal

RGAHOESEE!!!

end
