PM private message?? + other short namings
« on: April 12, 2006, 05:35:18 am »
I was wandering how to send Private messages to dm's or players that are or are  not logged in to this site.
I'm probebly overlooking it. But if some one could direct me to the right place, i'd be happy.

I also was wondering if there is some place on the site or the forums where there is an excpanation of all the short namings that are used.
I know about a view like: "CDQ's" with is "character develepment quests" And "LE" witch is "Lawfull Evil" IS there a list witch explanes all of these short naming (or wat ever they are called).
It doesn't have to go in it to deep, Just wat the leters mean is more than enough for me. like NE = neutral evil.
CG = chaotic good

Thanks for your help.

you can send a PM to someone not logged in.  just go to your inbox and write a new message and send it.  works just like email, really.  they'll get it when they log in next.

as far as a list of acronyms...  LORE has a glossary list as well as numerous other definitions, and if something is likely to have an acronym, it's shown as such.  but there isn't just and acronym list.  Perhaps we may develop one for LORE, who knows.  got a few other things on our plate right now, but I'll keep it in mind.

LG, LN, LE, NG, TN, NE, CG, CN, CE... those are for all the alignments. L always stands for Lawful, G for Good, N for Neutral, E for Evil, C for Chaotic, T for True.

HiPS stands for Hide in Plain Sight (took me a while to get that)

MS (Move Silently the skill) H (Hide the skill) Usually they'll be used together H+MS or something.

MA (Mistone Alliance)

I'm sure there is a hundred more that I can't think of, I'll post them if I remember any.

I feel like creating acronyms, now. Although, I will mention one: LORE.

Many DMs tell you to make a sc check, which is spellcraft.

E = Epic

Epic Character Development Quest = This is the quest that all characters must perform before going epic (IE taking level 21).

Thanks Leanthar. Now that I read it here I remeber reading about it somewhere else on this site.
I guess all the information on here still needs the find a place in my brain. ;-)
I think I'm going to read everything again before I start playing this weekend.

Meaby I'll even find some other acronyms to add to my list.
