It's not really up to me.
I was just trying to explain (apparently not very well) why I had objected to acronyms in the FAQ in the first place. emily |

As for acronyms in general, if they're lost, people can JUST ASK. If you don't get it, no one in this forum will yell at you--see SoccerDude's thing about why this forum is great. If anyone else wants to update a list, fine, but Emily probably has enough to do, like her life. |

I do use acronyms occasionally, but the only four I use without referencing the game's name previously are TLJ, DOTT, CMI, and EMI.
If I use acronyms for another game, what I'll do is write the game's name out in full early on and then use an acronym for any subsequent references. Even for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

I think I am going to dodge the whole issue by not even saying the name of games , just talk about them - it would add suspense and challenge to posting. !

The Thread™ will die.

I write names out in full the first time. And I italicise them. How cool am I???
