              And now the most ironic acronym for this thread:

              KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid

              Damn, gotta go to language class to keep up.

                i updated the list, but something went wrong and i can't figure out what, i seem to get the list two times, one time empty, without any words, and one time normal as it should be
                <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.

                    At first I thought the thread was empty. I hope you'll get rid of the empty list.

                    Here are some general game terms, some genre names frequently used in forums like news://comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic

                    4X: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate (Civ is, of course, the mother of all 4X games)
                    FPS: First Person Shooter
                    RPG: Role Playing Game
                    RTS: Real Time Strategy
                    TBS: Turn Based Strategy

                      This is a good list being created here. Maybe we could go one step further and explain what some of the terms mean (as Lemmy has indicated).

                          How could I miss it?

                          I mean- even though I have long ago unsubscribed from this thread, and I have disabled the email notice option, I still receive emails telling me somone has responded to this thread.

                          Why? WHYYYYY!?!?

                              Spink and yo_yo_yo_hey or something were PERMABANNED?? Why and how did they become so often referred to that they needed abbrevs of their own? (See 2nd page of this thread)
