Goatboy's comments about these in another thread has inspired me to put this thread out there.

Lets try and make a list :)

===============

PQ = Public Quest
RVR = Realm Versus Realm
MoM = Marshes of Madness
TA = Tor Anroc

Here's one that I see used often which confused me to begin with, and I always have to make a distinct mental effort to remember it because my brain tells me it should mean Black Orc.

BO = Battlefield Objective.

Order Torgal / Allein / Iapetus / Mellir / Ganymede
Destruction Stikklebrix / Mimas

"Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit"

cap - Capture (a flag or a relic)
EFC - Enemy Flag Carrier
FFC - Friendly Flag Carrier
FC - Flag Carrier
oil - burning oil used by keep defenders; attackers usually don't like oil
ram - Ram used to break the gate of a keep
sc, scen - scenario
ToK - Tome of Knowledge
WC, Wcamp, camp - War Camp


AM - Arch Mage
Blorc, Borc, black, blackie - Black Orc
BW, wiz - Bright Wizard
DK, DoK - Disciple of Khaine
Herd - Squiq Herder
IB - Iron Breaker
Mag - Chaos Magus
Mara, Mar - Marauder
RP - Rune Priest
SH, hunter, hunt, hun, shunt, shun - Shadow Hunter
sham, shammy - Goblin Shaman
SHerd - Squig Herder
SM - Sword Master
Sor, Sorc - Sorcerer or Sorceress
WE - Witch Elf
WH - Witch Hunter
WL - White Lion
WP - Warrior Priest
ZT - Zealot



In scenarios or open PvP you may be told by your team-mates something of the following:

"Kill the healer ffs" - If used by Order player, it means you should focus on taking down the DoK, shammy or zt; if used by Destro it means you should focus on taking down the AM, RP or WP.

"n00b, its a tank!" - You are attacking an opposing tank (IB, SM, Borc or Chosen). Ignore the tank and kill its healer first (no living or unliving thing in WAR can kill a tank being healed)

"FLAG!" - An interesting comment, that may mean many things. Either your FFC is in trouble, the EFC is about to run away, neutral your sides flag is being capped by hostiles, or you should cap the neutral/hostile flag. "FLAG" also does not mean flag only, it can mean a relic or a victory-location too.

"omg, stfu n00b - ffs fo to WOW" means "I'm sorry, I'm a socially unadapted adult with the mental age of a small child. I feel a great deal of pleasure in telling people I don't know how to behave because I feel that externalising my personality into a computer game allows me to transcend the normal rules of etiquette and social cohesion. Please accept my apologies for my tiny penis."
