Said the one known as Mauler. There's irony in there, somewhere.

It gets even worse in our emails where we substitute order numbers for whole words and locations instead of the names of cities.

Example-

1WI can't 171 KU because their RR is susp. Just cast WoF and 190 it.

Might need you secret decoder ring.

Main thing is, the rules indoctrinate the players into the nomenclature and acronyms. And the forum is mainly for players, so I don't expect their behavior to change. The posting on Decoding Acronyms hopefully helps visitors.

The other important note that I doubt anyone would dispute is our players are the best at helping new players get this stuff down when the new players ask questions. New players that don't ask questions seem to have shorter life spans.

So, what's your plan for the ones that don't ask questions?

The first rule of Project Alamaze is you do not ask questions, sir.
