CNRP Jargon

Recommended Posts

I am aware that Zarfef published a list of useful terms a few months ago... However, I find this somewhat lacking. Here is a far more extensive one which I think is far more representative of the true meaning behind our jargon and significant memes. Hope this helps :).

[b]CNRP Terms[/b]

OOC War: Any war where you are on the presumed losing side.

Godmoding: Rping based upon realistic assumptions, or Rping which does not specifically favor your own position.

Powergaming:
You are ‘powergamer’: Clever strategy
You are not the ‘powergamer’: Abusive, and unsporting, rude, mean, (see godmoding)

Colony: Land you want, or otherwise do not wish another to have; or any piece of land of your choosing. Also: Definitely not any piece of land under your control.

Bothamode: A clever shield.

An international journalist, or otherwise inconspicuous unnamed official: The Bearer of an opinion you wish to make for otherwise ooc reasons, but do not wish to associate with your own nation for reasons ranging from IC associations, to potential hypocrisy.

Nord: Any remotely Germanic RP, or any rp regardless of its content belonging to anyone who hangs out or has ever hanged out in the #nordic RP channel. Generally to be regarded with suspicion and mistrust.

Ruining the game: Anything one does not find fun.

Sarah Tintagyl (Character): Hippies, butterflies, flowers, and lots and lots of sex. Also Woodstock.

Character RP: Embellishment of the irrelevant, but vague on everything else.

“Why can’t the community take things less seriously, and work together”: “Why can’t people get out of my way.”

cnRP: What a small IG nation supports.

Treaty: A mysterious and often categorical paragraph rarely exceeding 1000 words which may materialize rapidly and without warning.

Citizenry: A slavish mass of docile human beings who by their nature dedicate their allegiance to whatever regime holds sway over them. This nature is substantiated by the reality that the oldest existing regime is in fact only one to two decades old, and the fact that regime turnover is extraordinarily high.

Win the game: The intersection of a line with an undefined slope (vertical) representing the threshold of 'win', and a second asymptotic function representing the relationship between your Aggregate military, economic, and political power (x) and the negative PR/probability for arbitrary and [u]clearly[/u] ooc war. As the function in question is actually undefined at the x representing the threshold, the theoretical win point is generally never reached as premature destruction of the nation in question occurs with a probability of 1 prior to breaking the threshold. (Nations/Alliances that have almost won the game. UFE, GNR, Diamonds, Rebel Army (prior to nuclear war), Commieintern, Saboria, Imperial Wellington, HRE, EU, DE.)

Curristan: Terrorist Hotspot. Avoid at all costs. Perhaps caused by unhappiness due to all the demotivational propaganda posters?

Imperator Azenquor: For some reason, not all citizens are blind sheep, defying the definition of citizenry, as they seem to rebel once a month or so...

King of Cochin: Your friendly neighborhood Imperialist

(IAT, see if you can start to alphebetize this list too, while you are at it...satire works best when it's easily understandable. ;))

Part of its meaning has to do with its order. Ie you need to understand the reference to particular terms to get the joke in others.
