Abbreviations Glossary

This should be the MoHa's job, but since be can't put our expectations up too high (right?) and since I doubt he would post up such a thing, I decided to make search a little list of abbreviations used in e-republik.

LP loyalty points aka lulz points (admins give them when you buy gold from them, you may buy SI with them)
SI special items (items like huge storages, energy bars, land, WP's that you can buy with LP)

Phoenix - Major alliance ingame (alliance disbanded)
MoC - Member of Congress (never used)
MT - Moving Ticket (removed MT's from the game)

I see some discrepancy with the emoticons.

This certainly does not suggest that I am calling you fat:



(no, I wasn't being sarcastic)

MoC Member of Congress
CP Country President
CiC Commander in Chief (same person as above)
TR ThomasRed (currently same person as the 2 above)

Updated (excepted TR :p)

Shadowukcs, I made an article ( can't show you because erep doesn't work for me ) some months back about it and i used your previous work as a base so please don't make it out as if you invented hot water...

First post is from 13 february ^^.

???



Also, fp is a word I've never really used in relation to finished products. fp stands for forfeit points of famous points.

updated myself a few words as well

aka also known as
BAF Belgian Armed Forces
BTA Belgian Training Academy
FNCP Food for New Citizens Program
FP finished products (food or weapons, as opposed to raw materials) (depending on context)
FP forfeit points aka famous points (punishments points given by admins for violating their rules) (depending on context)
FPC finished products company
im(h)o in my (honest) opinion
R(M)C Raw (Materials) Company
RM Raw Materials

I think TR is a significant abbreviation for eBelgium (something like Tem for the eUK?)

specific Erepublik abbreviations are capitalised here, the others not.

I'd leave names of ppl out

added some of those

I have honestly never heard of FP being used as finished products. I'd like to keep the list not too long and only use the words that are actually used often. In regards to finished products, most ppl say either "weapons" or "food" or just "goods" or "supplies"

shadowukcs wrote:In regards to finished products, most ppl say either "weapons" or "food" or just "goods" or "supplies"

These 4 terms have a different meaning. Finished products is the term combining food and weapons. Together with raw materials, they're all the possible 'goods' in an economic context. Supplies is the transfer/logistics/use of finished products in a military context.

Could also add:

LP loyalty points aka lulz points (admins give them when you buy gold from them, you may buy SI with them)
SI special items (items like huge storages, energy bars, land, WP's that you can buy with LP)

Shad: have you heard about the inclusionism vs. exclusionism debate on Wikipedia ?

added those, will read the wikipage later.

Look, I want this to be a short and useful glossary with only the more used words in it.
