Some of you may not know what some of these abbreveations (sp.?) mean. Well, i took the liberty of telling you what they mean, so you aren't confused.
(sp.?): You are not sure if the spelling is correct.
Twink - A Twink is someone who acts too immaturely. They power play, believe themselves to be more important than other characters and try to make out that they are special in some way. If you find yourself being called this, then your are not a very good RPGer.
Uber / 00ber - Some who acts or is uber (alt 00ber) is power playing. Similar to a twink, they play out their character as unbeatable, usually invincible to all dangers, or able to defeat an enemy in a matter of seconds with little to no effort. If you find yourself being called this, then your are not a very good RPGer.
OOC - An abbriviation standing for 'Out Of Character'. It is sometimes placed before text when a person is explaining things outside of the RPG itself. OOC: is usually followed by further plot information, a comment about someone's post or a question pertaining to something that has transpired.
BIC - Alternativly, BIC stands for Back In Character, and may follow after an OOC post. This isn't used that often though, so don't worry about starting to use it now. It's useful if you make an OOC post in the middle of your character post. Most OOC's are made at the end so it's not usualy required.
Game Master - The Game Master of an RPG is the person who created it. They wrote the plot, they know what is going on in the story. A Game Master has almost Mod like control over their own RPG, and reserve every right to deny a sig up, or throw someone out of the RPG.
LSU - Stands for Late Sign Ups. Often seen in the titles of started RPGs, it means that further sign ups are being accepted, even though the RPG has started. If you are interested, be sure to read the sign up topic completely, and any posts that have already been made in the main topic.
NPC - Stands for Non Participating Character. An NPC is a character that has been maded up simply to perform a pre-designed task or job in a RPG. The NPC is owned by whoever created it, and so controlling the NPC incorrectly boils down to controlling someone elses character. Bad.
Bunnying - To bunny, is to take control of somone's character and not play them properly. If you were to have a conversation with a character, that is fine, but if they were to suddenly do or say something that didn't match their personality that would be bunnying, and it puts the owner of said character in an awkward position. Bunnying someone's character to get your own way is not a good move to make.
