New Feature - Automatic Acronyms

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

I have to add these manually, but we have a new feature where we can have a little box hover above an acronym or abbreviation, etc. For example, if I say "welcome to our friends in TNP", if you place your cursor on TNP it will have a little box that will say The North Pacific about a second later. I have also set these up for NS, TEP, TWP, TSP, TRR, Barry & Elite.

I think this will be helpful, especially for newer nations. What do you think? Also, I know there are a ton more that I can add. What other NS acronyms can we add?

I think pnes for TITO and the political parties would be a nice addition. Also, why Elite and Barry?

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

I put Elite & Barry because their forum names are different from their NS name. I'll add the political parties now.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

TIP, WAPP, MSPP, TDP & TITO added.

[Elite]

That's pretty cool. c:

That's awesome Grub! Thanks for doing this!

I can think of a few more that might be helpful to add, especially for newcomers. Things like RR and RRC, FRA, EF, TI, TMI, WW, XKI/10KI, CTE, WA, and there are probably a few more that I can't think of at the moment. I love this idea though and I think it would be great to help people understand NS and XKI!

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Thanks Witchcraft and Sorcery, RR, RRC, FRA, EF, TI, 10KI, CTE & WA added.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

WFE, RMB, TG & PM added.

[Ater Nox]

The others I can think of are SC for Security Council, and BCN, LE, HW, NRS for the senate seats. Maybe MoI, MoE and MoL as well.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Thanks Ater Nox, SC, BCN, LE, HW, NRS, MoI, MoE and MoL added. I also added Co9.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

FC, TO & XO added.

[Louisistan]

Well now it seems to be the case that the word to, even if written in lowercase will be seen as an acronym for Tactical Officer

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Thanks Louisistan, I have removed TO for now.

[The Vast Reef]

Doesn't work for me.

[Wordy]

Did you hover over it for a few seconds The Vast Reef ?

You could also possibly make a game with this feature. Hide an easter egg behind a word or combination of letters....just a thought.

[Paffnia]

Grub (Lenlyvit): GA, TIBoE, EF/TITO EF, our dear old friends LWU (and perhaps TBH and TBR), NatSov, UCR, GCR, NPO, TI for (Shelter's) Taco Island, TKI for the Islands, and if you can, for Tacos.

I like this a lot. NationStates acronyms can be so confusing, and then this forum has some extra ones.

As a XKI casino gambler I request APA = Auto-Play Account.

There's a huge list to choose from in this dispatch. Probably many more than you ever need or want.

Edit: If there isn't one around yet, could be worth it maintaining an acronym thread in the Great Library
