    tuckson, maybe a dumb question, but what do HTHTN stand for? An explanation would be fine...!

                About the clubs, don't forget mine (very unaccepted):

                TCLOA - The Critically Literal Optimist Association

                Also there is

                JTLYK - Just to let you know

                A name abbreviation around here is

                LOTM - Lord of the Mark
                However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                  And a rather obvious one:

                  CIV = Civilization
                  None, Sedentary, Roving, Restless, Raging ... damn, is that all? Where's the "massive waves of barbarians that can wipe out your civilisation" setting?

                    And just to be pedantic, most of these are acronyms, not abbreviations...

                      Dearmad, technically, acronyms are abbreviations (I carry my pocket dictionary around at all times, in case of emergencies). You never know when someone will stop you in the street and ask you to spell a 20 letter word.

                                thanks for the update Gramphos, i'm trying to update the list in my first post, but the forums isn't being helpful, it somehow keeps deleting my tabs

                                btw, what is the Eternal China Syndrome ?
                                <Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.
