Hello, I'm new new to this game and after reading the forums for a solid two hours, I noticed that the abbreviation, "PC ," was used quite frequently. My question is: should plasma canon and planetary conquest be abbreviated differently? |

Can you give any examples where it's unclear from the context what is being discussed? |

The bigger question is how the hell did you manage to survive two hours wading through all the autistic posting?  |

That does sound unhelpful. I've added this to the wiki jargon list. |

@Mith
I would look for examples, but with the multitude of threads being created, I'd probably spend another two hours looking for specific examples.
@Kitten
I do not mind all the rants as some posts do provide useful information. I rather read about the game from the perspective of the players rather than jump straight in and these past two hours have been rather helpful. |

Yea it's hard to see when you wouldn't be able to tell just from the context of the usage which one people are talking about.

And the moment where finally 'personal computer', 'plasma cannon' and 'planetary conquest' conflict. |

In PC, a PC will really come into its own, especially if you're using PC controls. If there's ever a PC version, PC will be dominated by PC users with PCs. |

How about:
PYCT [pronounced 'peye-sst'] for PlanetarY ConquesT anyone?
LPC for (Light) Plasma Canon.
And let's not forget PC is also player character.
Otherwise how am I supposed to PC my PC on my PC with my PC to the point where my PC and PC in PC makes your PCs look like bacon to a ravenous dog. |
