Yeaaaaah it looks like Invision didn't think that one through I don't think. Not sure what they were thinking for mobile users there, apologies, we can't control that! Though I think it's the same when many other websites use "hover" over text, guess there's no easy solution for that on mobile. Also to everyone else, as said in the OP we're looking for more game-specific strat terminology and such, not general Internet stuff, game names, mod names, etc. Also, a lot of two-letter acronyms will interfere with other discussions on the forum and other meanings so we will be avoiding adding those. Compromises unfortunately have to be made but it's better than nothing as we already have quite a few! I suppose GTAO DLC names could be added. Some of them you will just have to look into yourself as they're internet slang or conflicting. OP could be Original Poster, OverPowered, etc. etc. that's not quite what we're looking for here atm.

Jimbatron Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Must take issue with C&C being suggested as an acronym for Cops ‘n Crooks. For every player I know (basically every PC player who was a regular - I was a smaller community in the IV days), it was CnC. In the wider gaming arena, it avoids confusion with the Command & Conquer franchise. As I’ve betrayed my age, and I’m I year late, I’ll get my coat….
