Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

FTW means For The Win.

This isn't a bad idea, but in reality all of those terms are common throughout the internet (with the exception of Blam! and XBL), and not really specific to B.net. Most can be found by performing a search at http://www.urbandictionary.com

But don't let me be the one to stop you. Another one you might see around is IMO, or IMHO, meaning In My [Humble] Opinion.

Also, there was a list of terms more specific to Bungie made a while back, you may want to search for it, if you want a complete list of terms. I'll look, but I'm out soon, so I don't really have much time to spend on it.

My friend, you would not tell with ſuch high zeſt
To children ardent for ſome deſperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum eſt
Pro patria mori.

Except B.net, none of those are really specific to here. I mean, it's standard internet lexicon.

Meh, I hardly knew any of them until very recently, can't say I'm too up on that sort of thing... I'll edit the title, if that'll make you happy.

FTL=For The Loss.

Your definition of 'Mod' needs to be altered somewhat. While mods for Xbox are illegal, that is not the case for PC.

It's been tried many times before... all have failed, but I shall do it!

Anyway, there's alot of Bungie.net jargon floating around the forums.

WTF - What the F***
-blam!- - just the site "Beeping" out nasty words
LMAO - Laugh(ing) My A** Off
LMFAO - Laugh(ing) My F***ing A** Off
ROFL - Rolling On the Floor Laughing
IDK - I Don't Know
Mod - B.net Forum Moderator OR Modder, someone who alters game data, illegal
BTW - By The Way
w/ - with
XBL - Xbox Live
B.net - Bungie.net


Add more please please, I just took these from the top of my head.

What's FTW?
