n00bie question

[AztraGoth]

I just wonder what SC and some other abbrivation(i think its called) means, cuz sometimes i have no idea what you ppl are talking about while im lurking around in here or mabey there is a list of these somewhere that i dont know of, thanks in advance

SC = Supercombatant. Often misused; but it means a 'powerful melee unit' in it's original form. Most common SC's are pretenders and large commander summons full equipped.

I don't know what the other abbreviations you are looking for are.

I set my FoB and 2 AW to BH and got 30 BS in one turn used to summon 6 FoD's.

This is a modified paraphrase of an earlier discussion. There is an awful lot of strange abbreviations floating around.

SC - Supercombatant/Saber Cherry
FoD - Fiend of Darkness
PoD - Prince of Death
PD - Province Defence
ID - Ice Devil
IW - Illwinter (not the spell)
FoB - Fountain of Blood
LotN - Lord of the Night
VotD - Vengeance of the Dead
MD - Magic Duel
TT - Taurotyrannos (not seen this since the days of Dom I)
AW - Abysian Warlock (I'm not sure if this was the actual name used in that thread)
BH - Blood Hunt
BS - Blood Slave

There are more. Feel free to add stuff.

Can someone make this sticky too?

[LintMan]

Here's one I'm curious about: What is an AAR?

[Saber Cherry]

AAR = After Action Report, a description of a game that has been played.
