	About abbreviations Put an end to popups!

Hi,

I realize that most posters like to use abbreviations in their posts. Like ICS and so forth.

However, I would like to suggest a standard...as such.

Whenever using a termt hat is so long that you need to abbreviate, is it so hard to spell it out fully the first time you use it and then refer to it as its abbreviation? They do this alot in articles.

I only say this because although I play civ alot, i only browse the forums occasionally, and whenever i see an abbreviation that i don't recognize, i have to go and look up the thread that matches the abbreviations with their meanings...


any thoughts?

There's an abbreviation thread somewhere. Otherwise, feel free to ask, either in the open or via PM.

ICS is Infinite City Strategy (or, sometimes, Sleaze).

I know what you mean, though... it took me a long time to figure some out.
