Meta-spam is not your only forte, I see. Masterfully done
BTW, I am adept at all forms, I just have preferred styles and disdain for others. Some I can take or leave.

I'm glad you appreciated it.

The risk is, of course, that they end up getting scared away before the end of that lurking period.Originally posted by Skanky Burns
Lurking for even a short while should let you pick up on most of these terms.
Still, it's not as bad as a certain mailing list were on. The combination of in-group jargon, massive use of technical vocabulary, not to mention in-group technical vocabulary, has necessiated the compilation of multiple wordlists. Old-timers returning from abscences have been known to ask what new terms have been introduced since last time they were around.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

It just occured to me that something that might scare newbs away is the amount of private language here. Partly it's the various civ-related terms and expressions, but chiefly the wanton jargonism of A/C and OT. We'll have to start offering courses in Apolytonian soon ...Comment

Dang it, Kucinich. I made that avatar for Rhothaerill on MZO and now that I posted it on Apolyton and you're using it, I think you're Rhothaerill whenever I see your posts until I notice that it's Apolyton not MZO and you have "Kucinich" next to each of your posts.
Don't get me wrong, though. Personally, I find a certain humor in that you have Ronnie for an avatar and the last name of Dennis the Menace (that was his nickname when he royally messed up the city's finances as Mayor of Cleveland
) as your nick.
