JG: Abbreviation for Jumpgate, the game.
JGC: An acronym for Jumpgate Classic.
JGE: An acronym for Jumpgate Evolution.

kill steal: (kill stealing, kill stealer, KS). 1. To kill a flux that another pilot has spawned before they have had a chance to attack it and/or kill it and/or ask if they may kill it. This may seem to the outsider a strange form of etiquette for dealing with a potentially life-threatening foe, but this form of kill stealing causes many pilots to get very upset. 2.
