IE - I know what it means when I see it but I cant give a definition for it, and i dont mean internet explorer, but also stands for my clan Ildiran Empire Clan

-TheDarth

on Jan 08, 2009

"in example", is a possible definition for IE. Usually that's what it means, anyway.

Choke point - a small, easily defensible area (usually one planet wide, like the planet Gateway on the map Gateway)

FUBAR - F***ed up beyond all recognition

MB - Missile Barrage: the lvl 6 Marza ability

pms - here, it means "phase missile swarm", a Vulkoras ability. usually.

S.O.L. - shit outta luck (our sun's name is Sol. makes you wonder....)

 

DRM - this one I don't know

on Jan 10, 2009

G- 1 unit of gravity (depending on the mass of the planet that your on)

GW - gavity well

on Jan 11, 2009

Regarding OP... I've seen it used here in the forums regarding ships/weapons/features that are over powered. I haven't seen it in this forum used as original poster. Anyone?

on Jan 11, 2009

Add this too:

SSDD - same shit different day

usually it's used in multiplayer chat,

-What's up?

-Nuttin, SSDD...

Funky shit... or not..

FTW can also be Fuck the World

I think we've forgotten perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT, the MOST NECCESSARY, and the MOST OFTEN USED EXPRESSION....

noob.

Also newb.

Sometimes noobie.

Noob (Noun) n*u*b

1. A Very inexperienced person. 2. Someone who is inexperienced but uses techniques sometimes reffered to as cheating to beat others. 3. Someone who acts like an ass to everyone, regardless of how nice they are. 4. Someone who names their multiplayer name something god-awful just to make them laugh when they see it or when it is used. Example: Yo momma, as in |You were killed by: yo momma|  or |Yo momma is coming!|

 

 

Please feel free to add on any more definitions to noob.

Someone who names their multiplayer name something god-awful just to make them laugh when they see it or when it is used

I agree with that to some extent, but injecting some clever humor can make your games a little better. (IMO)

Having a toon named "Parts" then earn and keep a rank of "Private" will earn you a toon (with title).

"Private Parts"

It only works if it's tastefull and in good humor.

Kruppe mentioned "42".

42 is VERY important and absolutley needs to be taken up into the list!

What about "Jedi Master Jar Jar"?

on Jan 22, 2009

I agree Jedmonds, but i goes too far when someone names themselves (Warning, not suitable for small childrenz) "hot semen". 

I mean seriously now. Too far. It was a guy on Halo CE. I wanted to beat him to death with a sniper rifle.
