Spider-Vice Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Hi GTAF community. In an effort to increase accessibility to game newbies and ease of reading in some areas like the GTA Online and Red Dead Online forums, we'd like to ask for your help! Sometimes we have newbies asking what does "EWO" mean, or "CPH" mean, or stuff of the sort, and Invision Community has a feature so you can hover over an acronym and have it be told to you what it means. So hovering over EWO would show "Easy Way Out" in a tooltip, "CPH" would show "Cayo Perico Heist", etc. We've done this for the term PBM as well (Previously Banned Member, try hovering over the word!) and plan to do it for more specific GTAF terms as well such as OGA (Official Gang Alliance), so we'd like to ask - what terms do you think should be included so we can make things a bit easier to interpret for people who might not be into all the strategies and terminology of the online games or GTAF? Edit: Because these aren't section specific, if the acronym has way too many meanings outside game specific terminology, or isn't that common and may conflict with some other types of conversation, we likely still won't add it. e.g. BST is both British Summer Time and Bull Shark Testosterone so... Edit 2: We're mostly looking for terms used by seasoned players, some town names, console names, game names etc. aren't going to be added because 1. they might interfere with other conversations, 2. well, this is GTAForums, you probably know what GTA V and GTAO are. Thanks!

Thomas The Dank Engine Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Do you want acronyms only? Because in the PvP scene you have terms like KEK, Beach, RPGSP, etc. Can those be listed as well? If so, i'm obligated to make an entire list of (tryhard/PvP) terms if needed.

Spider-Vice Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Big thanks @Cash 4 Clickbait, added a lot of those! We're not going to add every single one because they're kinda too common and could be used in other contexts (NC, SR, BST etc.). We can never cover 100% of the acronyms but we have a ton already which is nice. It's more terms used by seasoned players.

Spider-Vice Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Btw if you haven't noticed the OP edits, we're more looking for terms that are more specific to game strats or terminology that newer players may not know (FL Ruiner for example despite being two words is fine). Console names, the name of the game engine, game names, location names (if they're too short to be an acronym), feature names everyone can easily see in their game etc. are most likely not going to be added. We did add store/service names such as RGL, EGS and RGSC though. eejyool 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/972715-acronyms-for-certain-common-game-terms-suggestions/#findComment-1071561692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

suicidal_banana Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 These are only mentioned in their heist form but i feel like they should be mentioned as locations too: DC - Diamond Casino CP - Cayo Perico Besides that i constantly notice people in game dont know these pretty common location acronyms so i guess a lot of people here dont know them either? LSIA - Los Santos International Airport SSA - Sandy Shores Airfield MKF - McKenzie Field (the grapeseed airstrip) LSC - Los Santos Customs Some other stuffs: SCP - Shark card purchase CESP - Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack 2 hours ago, Classique said: PS = Pacific Standard I feel like that one would easily be misunderstood, afaik most people just call it 'pac standard' wich is pretty much already descriptive enough 3 hours ago, Classique said: MK II = Oppressor Mk II Same for this, to easy to misunderstand as there are also MK2 weapons in the game, id go with something like "Opp Mk2" but again, thats also pretty descriptive already Spider-Vice 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/972715-acronyms-for-certain-common-game-terms-suggestions/#findComment-1071561796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Vice Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 I agree and have always heard it that way but because someone suggested "vs. Everything" as well, I included it, because in a sense neither are wrong I suppose. Suits people who may have heard both ways.

Jason Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 PvE/PvP are basically from MMORPG's with both types of gameplay, PvE is vs environment as you're fighting the stuff in the world, vs player is when you're fighting players, vs everything would be both of those things, I personally have never seen it used that way my self. There's also some games that call it PvM these days, which stands for Players vs Monsters.

Spider-Vice Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Agreed, so I'll change it back to just Environment. Won't apply retroactively unfortunately so only posts after this will have the fixed version.
