When on the boards, you may read things that scare you. Unfortunately, we can't help about Adam (or Mike, if you're on FL :P) but for those things you don't understand, we have a dictionary! Yes, that's right! I've decided it's far past the time we had our own dictionary for words/terms used on the boards (and other rubbish not used at all, but which is still funny nonetheless)! :D
So far I have:
A
Aardvark: A curious little fellow who is crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Adam: See 'Insane', 'Grumpus'
Admin: The Person in charge of technical administration of the gameboard. Also known as 'God'.
A-Team: Verb. Example: "to A-Team": To expend a vast quantity of munitions hitting only cardboard boxes and overturned chairs, causing a jeep to flip into the air.

Apparently Shaun already gave me a definition for anyone who read the award thing at LABN :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Stupid Canadia man-slut... somthing fatal will happen to you in one of my stories!
I second that!!! :D
Oh silly Matt (tricks are for kids!...sorry)
Everyone knows Adam isn't insane! He just pretends to be insane but he's actually just a very grumpy person. His definition should read:
Adam: See Grumpus
:D

Shaun, I am going to link a page to this off the LNG main page. The first message in this topic will be considered the master key for the Dictionary.
Let me know if you'd rather make this a different topic.
within LNG, I am moving it to the FAQ section...

Matt (note the correct spelling...I was spelling it Shaun but pronouncing it Matt...honest!) I made a efw minor adjustments to the Glossary list. "The Great Purge", "The Other Purge", "The Coup" all needed to be filed by the non article first letter as "Coup, The", "Great Purge, The" and "Other Purge, The" s they now appear.
While there I added some notes to Marmite...and added Vegemite for our friends down under so they don't feel left out. I marked it with a FL exclusive smiley called "new". You can get it by typing the BBCODE :new:
