So what will the new class abbreviations be?

[Ryun]

Magicians - Almost everyone calls them "mage" by habit... well at least I do. ¬_¬
Assassin - sin
Bandit - dit
Chief Bandit - CB
Crusader - sader
Crossbowman - xbowman

You get the idea.

So what do you think the new class abbreviations for pirate be?

This is what I've got so far in my opinion:

Pirate - Pirate (short enough, really)

Infighter - A bit tough, maybe "Inf".
Gunslinger - "gun" would refer to the weapon, so maybe "slinger" or "GunS"?

Buccaneer - Most likely "Buc" or "Bucc"
Valkrie - "Valk". That's gotta be it. I'll throw a fit if it isn't. D:<

Viper - Probably fine at Viper, but it might turn out to be "Vip"
Captain - Either Captain or "Cap"


Any other ideas? >_>

[Kevvl]

I like "Cap" for 4th =P

I estimate either GS or Slinger, but I'm leaning toward GS...

[Hazzy]

Personally, I think I'll use 3d job Infighter,4th job Gunsligher, ect. xP
Those Job names seem almost German. D:

I love Google.

[Cactuar]

I'll call Captains Capts, and Infighters Infighters. It's really straight forward, I guess.

[Ryun]

Yeah "GS" seems pretty feasible. That's how it went with Chief Bandit. (but of course it couldn't have been called a "dit" for obvious reasons :rolleyes:)

[Loose]

I remember some people calling Chief Bandits, CDits when 3rd job was barely released.

Gunslingers probably GS. Valks and Bucs seem like they'll be popular.

For 4th job, Captains will probably be called Caps, while Vipers will be known as WB (Wind Booster) mules. : P

"WB dude! can you get your WB mule to come to skeles?"

I see it now... HB, HS, SE, and WB mules all in one party. Any room for attackers...!?

[Retalion]

We wont really know until we get the classes listed but that being said, I agree with what's being said here.

However, if Gunslingers could be abbreviated GS, then what's to say that Infighters wont be abbreviated IF (Okay, its a common word but... yeah. Who knows xD)? Just throwing that out there for discussion I suppose.

We might even see Infighters abbreviated as Nfighters or something. Dx

[PieM4ster]

I can kinda see VK as a Valkyrie, but I don't plan to be abbreviating such short words.

[Cybuster]

I predict Infighters to be known as DBZers >_>;


Seriously. When Pirates come out, I bet we see a huge influx of xXxSSJ7GogetaxXx1212 etc >_>;

DBZ is cool though, unlike naruto :p
(just my opinion, don't kill me T_T)

[Oversoulx2]

I think Vipers would be called VPs XD

and Captains: capt ........`n crunch?

[Dagger]

I'm using GS for Gunslinger and InFi or IFi for Infighter.
xP

[Hazzy]

Personally, most of the Pirate Names are short enough to just type out. The two that aren't have the coolest spelling. xP

[Viper]

I can see Infighter being Inf and Vip being Viper, but not sure about bucc. I Like Gun though and like PieM4ster said VK for Valkyrie works.

[Manu]

I see captains as cap'n xD and yeah infigters are named sayans

[Hiepocrite]

.

[xDae]

Inf - Infighter
Gunner / GS - Gunslinger
Buc - Buccaneer
Valk - Valkyrie
Vip / VP - Viper
Cap - Captain

[Tremulant]

Ew, I really hate the shortformed names of all the classes. Sins, xbowmen, dits; they're all pretty ugly.

Don't get why we can't just stick to Pirate, Infighter and Gunslinger.

[Cardboardsnail]

Ew, I really hate the shortformed names of all the classes. Sins, xbowmen, dits; they're all pretty ugly.

Because people don't like to type things out

dont forget time leap ^.^

"Don't feel like typing it all out"? Then don't type it out, do us all a favor. Turning everything into a shorthand form or an acronym is silly - I'd use another word to describe it, but I have this feeling that it would just cause rage!

S> PAC 10MIL@@
..Which one?

B> BS 200MIL@@@ OOPS I MEAN DS, WAIT NO, SB

If you can't take the time to type out the words and make your meaning clear, what's the point in communicating in the first place? Kids these days.

[Findings]

It would be pretty lame if Viper were shortened to Vip. Hopefully it will remain unshortened, seeing as it has less letters than Priest does.

[xDae]

This.

well if you are training where you cant take a break (ie: Himes) it helps

[Rayquaza2233]

I think infighter would become fit or fite, dunno why.

[Eldin]

Here's what I'll be using when I'm too lazy to type out their full names - until the Official Anonymous Maple Entity establishes its own abbreviations, of course.

Gunslinger - Gunner
Infighter - Infiter
Valkyrie - Valk
Buccaneer - Bucc

All the others are short enough to leave as-is, IMHO.

[Acim]

Infighter may be "IF" because people are lazy like that. >_<

[blitzkrieg]

The only real abbreviations we've used in the kMS English community are like.. Gunner for Gunslinger and Valk for Valkyrie.. lol.

[Management]

Pirates = Pirates

Infighter = Mayweather

Gunslinger = Dick Cheney

[Eneko]

i say Infighter is gunna be Inny and gunslinger is gunna be slinger

[ShadowMarck]

For infighter, I was thinking something like "boxer," and for gunslinger, I was thinking maybe like "gunner," or something like that, because GS doesnt sound good to me, for captain, how about "capn" you know like Cap'n Crunch :cool: for buccaner "buc" sounds best, I agree with you on Valkyrie, and viper is short enough. That's all my thoughts :excellent:

[LazyBui]

Pirates = Pirates

Infighter = Mayweather

Gunslinger = Dick CheneyThis made me laugh. Good stuff.

[squirtle]

i reeeeally hope pirates don't get called rats.
]:

[Stereo]

Viper = vooble
Captain = cooble

So it is said, so it shall be done.



Really though, along with Bishop and Hero, they're short enough to just say the whole thing.

I've definitely seen BM/MM/AM/NL/DK, and nobody really wants Shadowers/Paladins so they don't need abbreviations :P.

[jrvillarreal]

I'm gonna have to say IFers and GSers:heart:

[Findings]

I've definitely seen BM/MM/AM/NL/DK, and nobody really wants Shadowers/Paladins so they don't need abbreviations :P.

That's a good point. That makes me think that only Viper will be abbreviated, if anything. And it's too short to be worth abbreviating, so with luck, no abbreviations!

[EndlessAxis]

well from experiance ( guild chats ) and stuffs most peeps including myself use
inf and gunS or slinger or valk and for 4th job we just keep saying inf and for gunners we say cap

[LakeMyst]

Some of those names don't need to be abbreviated. People don't abbreviate "Ranger," or "Fighter," when talking about my characters, and those are six and seven letters. Captain is seven, Viper is five. They're fine as they are.

Valk is an obvious abbreviation for Valkyries, they exist in other games and it's pretty standard as an abbreviation.

The problem words are Infighter, Gunslinger, and Buccaneer, I think. They have no clear abbreviation for them, and they are pretty long to type out.

I would just go with "gun" for gunslingers, since when I'm discussing archers I don't hesitate to say "bow" to mean Hunters, Rangers, and Bowmasters, and "xbow" to mean Crossbowmen, Snipers, and Marksmen. Infighters and Buccaneers - I'll just go with whatever other people start calling them.

[FallenMemory]

I personally will be using Valk. IDC if noone uses it..

[ItzTaylor]

My guesses of new abbreviations:

Infighters:
IFs
InFs


Gunslingers:
GSs
GunS/Guns
Slingers


All put in plural with "s's" at the end.

Or people will just use their normal names, like they do with Shadowers, Paladins, or Bishops

[Daakun]

Valkyrie should stay Valkyrie, just so we can pick on all the little kids who can't spell it right. >_>

hao 2 get valkery job@@@

[EndlessAxis]

lol valkies XP..sounds..erotic O_o

[Volg]

Copy + paste + backspace = friend

Pirate - Pirate..Pi? rate? Pirate seems good as is.

Infighter - In? Fighters?[even if it's already been used..]
Gunslinger - Gunner!

Buccaneer - Bucks! bucs, buccs, cans, neers...etc.
Valkrie - Valk seems short enough...

Viper - Vipers..vipes..? You'd have to be really really really lazy to not type out Viper...
Captain - Caps, or capts. Captain Crunch...

[Colyo]

Inf, GS, Valk, Buc, Viper, Cap

Thats what I Think =p
