Game Etiquette

In Junk Wars, there are certain etiquettes that you should (and sometimes will be expected to) know, whether you are new or not.
==Battle Etiquette==
*Even though most people won't call you on this, it's good to say "gg" (good game) after battles, especially tourney matches or longer battles.
*Don't use emoticons when you win a battle. For some reason or another, many members in the game find emoticons highly annoying after they lose.
==Abbreviations==
Part names are very often abbreviated, usually as a part of the name (Inter = The Interrogator), sometimes the initials (BO = Black Orchid, BB = Battle Bot, GM = Green Machine). So it's usually self-explainatory. Don't use names like "blaster" or "streamer" though, since there are many different ones. And because there are only a handful of X (Exceptional) parts, all are used as short forms:
Lolti: Loltima's Weapon, SS: Skyshark, FT: Father Time, Exo: Exotica, etc.
AB: Unfortunately this can mean Air Blaster, Afterburners, Auction Bot or Ammo Box...
Other abbreviations you may encounter are:
PvP - Player vs. Player battling, e.g. Quick Matches.
PvE - Player vs. Environment/Enemy, i.e. questing and fighting bots.
Dailies - Referring to the Daily Beatings (PvP) achievements that give oil.
Str - Strength is the "potential" of a build.
QM - Quick Match, THE way to get dailies and rating for POTW.
POTW - Player Of The Week
TB - Tournament Bucks, currency for tourny parts obtained in "tournys" (tournaments).
TH - Trade House, where all the trading etc. goes on.
IGN - in game name; if you are on Kongregate or another host website, your IGN may be different than your account username in chat.
LOL - laugh out loud and other usual Internet slang/abbreviations/acronyms
sub 100 / <100 - Anything under 100 strength (important for Daily Beatings achievement).
BP/s - Blueprints, needed to make parts and Mods.
XP - Experience, obtained in fights or for completing some quests/achievements. Needed to level-up and get Skill points
AH - Auction House, the old system of getting parts from other plays now replaced with the trade house.
Res - Resistance, meaning chance to resist ailments.
Proc - How often a weapon/effect works; if the weapon/effect worked. (Ex: "Didn't proc once" can mean that an attack didn't hit or an effect didn't happen the whole battle.)
BP - Usually blueprint/s, but on some parts it's mentioned and means "base power", aka energy.
Arse - not an insult (usually), but Arsenus 's nickname, others say Ars, Arsen or such (I'm fine with that - Arsenus :) )
