Hi !
People use acronyms all the time to save on typing but not everyone is familiar w/these be it because they are new or have never ran across that on before. I figured a thread w/the acronym & meaning could be pretty helpfull to us all. Below I've included a few off the top of my head and one I've seen but have no idea what it means. (Some of them may seem basic to you or me but someone else may have no idea !) If you quote this msg delete ^^this^^ and just use the list below. Anyways I'm @ work so thats all I got for now.

HON = hand of nod
WF = wepons factory
REF = tib ref
inc = incomming
stfu = shut the fuck up
st = stealth tank
ft = flame tank
med = medium tank
obo/obe/ob = obelisk
agt = advanced guard tower
inf/infi = infintry
bar = barraks
SBH = stealth black hand
spmr ine halkjqwe!!! (or other uncomprehendable text) = Im in serious dog poo someone come help please !!
edit :
art/arty/arti/mart - mobile artillery

Can someone tell me what FFS means ? I keep seeing this but have no idea what it means, I've asked in game before but didn't get any help.

BTW, what does "AFK' stand for?


My little brother thought it meant "a free kill".

I thought that was funny. For a while. Confused

Don't forget, most of that stuff can be typed within a second or two at the most... Negating the need for shortened versions of all but the longest names.

We should make a huge universal list and call it RenSpeak so we can all understand it. when I am like LO! and then someone gets sniped cause I meant Look Out and had like 1 second to type before he was shot... It makes me sad... Sad

Very Happy Seriously though I think a Universal standard would be coolio.

Just type it out. No one knows what "LO!" means. It looks like you didn't type out "LOL!"
