I've posted just a few terms here - and I need you to suggest new ones and I'll put them on this post !

If there's a word you're not sure about, here's the place to ask about it (and if it's not on the list - I'll put it on when we know what it means )

Also - is it worth putting on general terms (not Conquer Club related) such as "ABWOP" or "ROFLMAO" etc ?

Glossary (in alphabetical order)

Deadbeat(er) - A player who is kicked from a game for missing 3 consecutive turns

EDIT:

5. FFS

Fat Friend Syndrome - Sort of a Murphy's Law of dating. Most hot or good looking woman have a lesser attractive, usually overweight friend along to accompany her on a date or social gathering. Half Bouncer and Half Excuse Hot chicks employ the help of these friends to protect from an on slot of lame fellows, or as an excuse to escape. The Male can combat a FFS by deploying a wingman to create a diversion.
"That girl is hot but we have a FFS in effect"

or
"FFS, to your left."




7. friendly fire, sorry

player1 one team kills player2

player1: ffs
player2: you suck!




oh... and as for Scott's other notation...

WTF = The World Taekwondo Federation ... an olympic sport since 2000.

I see two words not on the list, that half the people on CC don't know.

1. Dice
2. RISK

What are you talking about? Dice, maybe... but am I not allowed to comment about how ridiculous the changes (which now seem to be permanent) are?

I support something like this, although I would say it should be done in a more official way rather than some random members adding in a word or two.

FFS works for us guys too-- it's backup. If by some ridiculous chance the hot chick shoots us down, the line usually always works on the FFS. Granted we may have to stay at the bar for a few extra drinks in case the bartender is out of handy brown paper bags.

You might want to add BPB and THOTA.

ffs = for f'uck's sake, for those of you who don't know

ummmmm I would add multi, …

I don't know what any of these mean :

Block
Sweep
Fortline

BPB

Steal - to steal a kill from another player

Block- To occupy a terittory, with enough troops, to effectively block one player from killing another, or themselves being killed.

Sweep- to eliminate a player, cash in using their cards, rrepeat until the board is clear.

Fortline- (I'm not positive here, but I will make a guess anyhow) a line of connected territories that you can use in chained or unlimited forts to move troops over a large distance.

Steal- used in freestyle, when one player does most of the work to eliminate another player, but a third jumps in at the last minute to finish the elimination, and thus "steal" the kill.

The point is that I don't know what lots of these mean...

what about btw (by the way)

shouldn't this be stickied?

I'm hoping that it will be

No. Not in such an unofficial way. Although I agree with the definitions up there so far, the OP did not know what half of them were to start, which means that in later times something not true might be added.

I think that if something like this should happen, a mod should be the OP and we should actually discuss each term rather than taking the first definition available.

Here are some examples of deficiencies:

Block - To block another player from killing a weaker player Rarely good to use the word in the definition. If they can figure out that definition, they should have been able to figure out the word in the same way: through context.

Recash - Cashing cards at the point of taking them; in a turn (also known as: mid-turn cash) If someone is new and using this (I think this is the target audience), then how are they supposed to know that you can only recash if you have 5 or more cards when you eliminate someone (thusby taking their cards). You need to explain things for the background rather than making a dictionary of English to CC slang.

So far, good list, though we need to actually think about how this is helpful rather than taking the first definition and word that comes up. I hear BPB about once a week here... not that important to a new recruit.

FOS - finger of suspicion, a mafia term in which you suspect another player but are not yet voting
privi - a tournament forum term, short for privliges you get when you host a tournament

and to add a couple more form the tournament forum
TD - Tournament Director (The mods of the tournament forum)

TE - Tournament Elf (The organizers who help the TD's on a regular basis but are not mods)

GFX: graphics
GP: gameplay
FF: final forge
TUC: The Untouchables Clan

clicky, clickable maps, CM, etc: A greasemonkey script that lets a user click directly on the map to make various moves, such as attack, deploy, etc. Provides a substantial speed increase for a person using it.

mod-someone that has power over the forums
chat mod- someone that has power over chat and can kick/ban you when you misbehave
