I was wondering what some stuff ment...like Tag, Closed RP, MT only...you know, along those lines.
EDIT: I was not sure where to post this, so I posted it in general.

Well I'll tell the blatantly obvious "closed RP" means closed role play and therefore only certain people are allowed to post. Sometimes of regions or earthes etc.

"Tag" is a general notation indicating that you've taken an interest in a thread, but are not contributing anything to it right now. This is obsolete as players can use the Jolt forums "Subscribe to thread" function.

"Closed RP" means closed roleplay. This is a prearranged roleplay to which only specific players have been invited. NationStates Moderators will honor requests to remove posts from a closed RP by someone who wasn't invited.

"MT only" - This is not a standard notation, so far as I know. "MT" could be an abbreviation for a region or a roleplay alliance, or an abbreviation for a specific nation. I've just been told that "MT" in Modern Technology. In other words, you can only use technology in the roleplay that approximates real-life technology. You cannot, for example, roleplay Captain Jean-Luc Picard or Luke Skywalker.

This topic doesn't quite fit in, anywhere, but seems to best belong in "Technical". "General" is usually for discussions not involving NationStates. Hence, iMove http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon2.gif "Technical".

MT is Modern Tech, FT is Future Tech. There are some good guidelines to the language and activities of NS on NSwiki's Gameplay page (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Gameplay).

Also look on the NationStates Encyclopedia (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=388050&page=1&pp=15)

Also...

OOC = Out of Character
IC = In Character
NS = NationStates
TG = Telegram

Also, some region names...

TNP = The North Pacific
TEP = " East "
TWP = " West "
TSP = " South "
RR (or TRR) = The Rejected Realms

just a few basic things I can contribute.
