OOoo, OOoOooOOOOO! *raises arm until it pops off* Damn!

Anyway, I would say my only question/suggestion is maybe either here, or on a separate thread, create a glossary of terms? For all the abbreviations of things in people's signatures I mean.

I can get some of them by myself, but it would be nice to not have to PM someone about what their signature means every time I come across one I'm not sure about.

^-^

Not since my days as a dominatrix Wink

No, I mean just in general. As I quickly glance through most of the signatures there are abbreviations, and SL is pretty straight forward but if we made a glossary then any of them would be understandable, ya see bub?

Not sure what abbreviation your worried about but if its for the Mage characters I know they are the sustained spells.

Any others ask away

Hah oh noes! All this attention makes me feel dumb now. Uhm I dunno I guess yeah it's just the spells things, but I don't plan on playing Mage for the time being so I guess it doesn't really matter. OBF is for obfuscate right? But again since I'm only involved in changeling I guess I'm set knowing that SL is striking looks. >.>

Just right it out... no need for a glossary.

Sure, ask away. Others might have the same questions or chime in.

Hah alright so it's apparently just me and that's cool. I'll just keep my own records and PM people when I'm curious/confused. I mean it hasn't been important yet but I just thought it might be in the future or to new comers or to others. Never mind sorry! Very Happy

It was a valid inquiry

I get confused often but it very rarely comes up that it is a problem.

You kidding? Half the stuff I see on vampires I've got no clue whatsoever what it is. I am not ashamed to admit total ignorance.

I mean I guess I'm used to some of it by now, but there's lots of mage spells that can go up that are also super obscure too.

And the more characters we run the more we need to abbreviate. For the sake of newer players, especially those who may be new to PbP it might be a nice thought.

We did the map after all.

I only figured out a week ago that SL wasn't a discipline.
