Now there are are a lot of words/sentences that are written in short during gameplay/chatting.
These have come up during the many years of darkspace and i for one do not know all of them and get a bit connfused somethimes.
I think it would be handy to have a "dictionary" for these. Mayby this will help the response time of noobs (to witch i count myself) =)
So everybody, when you got one, please add it to this topic.
The ones i remember now:
AFK=away from keyboard
SUP?=what's up
So please, help me understand what you're babbling about=)
