Glossary link

[ManBungalow]

I'm thinking of something looking like this :

Spoiler

Concise description:

• Include a "Glossary" link on the link bar (such as is seen in my image^^^)

Specifics:

• This thread is a start at a glossary, but if it is used it would need to be improved first.
• New Recruits could be informed of the glossary's existence when they recieve their confirmation (welcome to Conquer Club) EMail.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• By generally making the site easier to understand.
• And by making the site easier to use by those who use English only as a second language.
• Encouraging more people to communicate in the Game Chat (foreigners understand what others are on about etc).

Edit - include image a second time (the orignal was swamped by my avatar )

In that case, if someone was struggling to know simply what "good game" meant, surely a glossary wouldn't be of any help. Maybe a translator is necessary for that.

I was thinking more of the terms such as "RT".
In different languages the words for "Real" and "Time" are different. Provided they can read enough English, anyone can check the Glossary and find out with little effort

I could see a Glossary being added, though not as another tab, but as an extended area either in Instructions/Help tabs.

Thanks

There is a minor debate in my glossary thread regarding what it should include. Should it include clan name abbreviations (THOTA etc), general internet slang, or should it compromise just of Conquer Club slang and abbreviations ??

This is one of those curious suggestions that gives you pause to wonder, "Why didn't we think of this earlier?"

I second this suggestion. Also would it be ok to contact someone on the CC admin team with additions to the glossary of terms, or just continue to add occasionally to the original thread(Glossary of Conquer Club terms ! [Any more?]) started by ManBungalow?

[AndyDufresne]

Ideally, the more static the terms, the better. Clan's come and go so a constant update of Clan abbreviations is probably something that should be left up to either Clan leaders or Clan Director Mods in the Clan Subforums.

Additionally, Conquer Club specific slang would populate the most of it, but minor internet slang terms could be included also I believe.
