    SOG - Seeds of Greatness
    RF - Red Front

    What those means?
    "Respect the gods, but have as little to do with them as possible." - Confucius
    "Give nothing to gods and expect nothing from them." - my motto

        RF - Red Front - AFAIK military wing of the communist party in pre-nazi Germany

        My contribution:

        SF - sciense fiction or speculative fiction

        ACS - armored combat suit (also called hardsuit), abbreviation AFAIK invented by SF writer Jhon Ringo _the hymn before battle_

          About Red Front ("Rot Front"), you are correct. It was their way to show their membership to the cause, saying these words and raising their right fist.

          IMHO two very short words and not worth to be abbreviated. I have never seen the acronym RF standing for this.

              Does anyone know if Apolyton has an official documentation area? Something where we, as contributors, can compile a document like these abbreviations and have it posted to a specific area of the Apolyton site (common document area) where anyone can download it? If the title's descriptive and I don't have to root around news notes and forum comments to get the finished reference then I'd definitely appreciate such a place.

                Being a newbie such as yourself, I yearn for the same thing as it appears, at times, a second language besides English is being spoken...
                "Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.

                        Sid Meier is God but I hate the f*cking excuse for a Civilization game known as Civilization 3 so I am going to burn down the Firaxis building.

                        That one seems to be a popular theme around here.

                          • I'd do this if I had the time- and may eventually- but has anyone though of alphabetizing the Abbreviations- and will anyone volunteer?

                            They could make antoher thread which would be excessively more useful than this one
