A Diplomacy game is defined as a 'gunboat game' when there is no form of communication between the players involved.

Easy enough. I get abbrevations like PPSC and such, but what about things like:

* CD (as in, "absolutely no CDs"?
* GR ("you should not be interested in points or GR")
* bump

Thanks for the help.

WTA (the better one)--Whoever wins (or draws) gets the whole pot
PPSC--Points are distributed based on number of SCs at end of game
Gunboat--No communication
Anonymous--Player names are not displayed
Global Press--Players can only talk to everyone, no private comm.
World--Played on world map
Ancient Med--Played on ancient med map

NMR--No moves received
CD--Civil Disorder (NMR for several turns)
GR--GhostRating (a private rating system set up by one of our members, TheGhostmaker)
bump--Physically "bumps" the current thread to the top of the page

NAP--Non aggression Pact
DMZ--Demilitarized zone

byob--bring your own beer

bump is a forum term that means to bring a thread that isn't at the top page to the top via a post.
GR is Ghost Rating. It's a statistic that calculates score somewhat similarly to elo based on who you play rather than the diplo points system.
CD is short for Civil Disorder aka when you leave a game by going idle.
Another one you might want to know is NMR: which, as far as I know means No Moves Readied. This is when a player misses one turn, but stays in the game.

well fine, make my terrible attempt at helping look even more pathetic abg.

...and there I was thinking it had something to do with tea bagging. That clears up a few unfortunate misunderstandings!

ILTMURLAFTTANCUBIHASPSUIAICL - I love the many uses really left available for tricky text and nonsense caused under bits in hasty acronyms sneakily prepared so users insert another incredibly cunning line.
