Nice. Thanks. Added.

[phineas94]

It was quite topical, my last post was to a player who was poking fun at all the acronyms in use

Haha I saw that thread!

[phineas94]

Any need for the A, F, S & V?

REA - AvS

I already did add them.

[Gf!sh]

^Yes, but he was doubting the need for it.

Also, I think i've seen the term BS for Bombshell multiple times on the fora.
