I think we should discourage acronym tags like "tftfv". I assume it means Tales froma Floating Vagabond, but I'm not sure.

We acronymize a lot of other games -- [nwod], [dd], etc. Obviously Tales from the Floating Vagabond is somewhat more obscure but I am not sure where to draw the line. I just created an info page for [tftfv] -- does that ability help resolve your concerns?

2\$\begingroup\$ Heh! OK, you click on the tag. At the very top, you will see something like 'The mysteriousgame tag has no wiki, would you like to help us create it?' You click on the link, and you go to the wiki page. The catch: you need to have 1,000 reputation and you need to either be in the top 20 answerers for that tag or you need to have a total score of 100 or more for that tag. \$\endgroup\$– BryantAug 27, 2010 at 14:53

Do people actually refer to Tales from the Floating Vagabond as tftfv outside this site? I hear NWoD and D&D on a regular basis...
Also, tftfv is a tough acronym to parse :-P

1\$\begingroup\$ Yep. The top Google hit on TFTFV is Troll and Toad, it's used as a tag on Library Thing, and so on. \$\endgroup\$– BryantAug 27, 2010 at 14:42

\$\begingroup\$ @Bryant Then it should be fine. The important thing is that people who play the game will recognize it in a list of questions. \$\endgroup\$ Aug 27, 2010 at 14:57
