Game-Related Abbreviations

  • AFAIK: As Far As I Know.
  • AI: Alignment-Indicative.
  • AtE: Appeal to Emotion.
  • BoP: Burden of Proficiency.
  • BWCS: Best Worst Case Scenario. This is most commonly used when there is a claim of a Vanilla Townie to argue that that player should be lynched (if they are scum, well and good; if they are Town, no power roles were lost).
  • EBWOP: Edit By Way Of (Double) Post. Because actual editing of posts in mafia games is forbidden in most games, the only way to "edit" a post which contains an error is to make another post containing the correction.
  • FoS: Finger of Suspicion. Used to indicate that you find someone suspicious but are not going to vote them, for whatever reason (often because you are voting for someone even more suspicious).
  • FMPOV or FYPOV: From My (or Your) Point Of View.
  • FTFY: Fixed that for you. Usually said under quotes that have been altered for truthery.
  • IC: Inexperience Challenged. Refers to the "teaching" position in Newbie Games.
  • IIoA: Information Instead of Analysis
  • ISO: Isolation. Usually refers to reading a player's posts in isolation. You can view one person's posts "in Isolation" by using the "Display posts from previous" drop down boxes at the bottom of every page.
  • LAMIST: Look at me, I'm so town.
  • L-1: Lynch minus one. This either refers to the second-to-last vote before a lynch is obtained, or a state where a player only needs one more vote to be lynched.
  • L-#: Lynch - number, The number indicates how many votes a player needs to be lynched. Eg, in a 9 player game, a player with 3 votes on him is at L-2 (5-3).
  • LyLo: Lynch-Or-Lose. This is a stage in the game where the town must lynch scum or they will lose the game.
  • Misrep: Misrepresentation.
  • ML: Mislynch.
  • MyLo: Mislynch and Lose. A stage in the game where the town can no-lynch safely. However, should they mislynch instead, it is likely one of the town will die the next night, resulting in a scum victory.
  • NAI: Non-Alignment-Indicative, or null.
  • NK: Night Kill, specifically the scum's factional kill.
  • NKA: Night Kill Analysis.
  • NL: No Lynch, when no majority on a player is reached, or when a majority of players vote to not have anyone lynched.
  • OMGUS: Oh My God You Suck. While occasionally used on its own as an insult, it's usually used as an inferred reasoning for purely retaliatory actions. For instance, an OMGUS vote on someone is one made purely on the basis that they are voting for you.
