Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I thought it would be a good idea to get this list going again to help out people who don't know what all of the Redemption abbreviations, acronyms, etc are off the top of their head. I have moved over all the data from the most comprehensive old post I could find and listed 1 other old post that had mostly the same data.

http://www.cactusforums.com/jacob's-ladder-(on-line-tournaments)/rulesfaq-contact-information/msg83194/#msg83194

I'll use the same format as the first old post as it seems to categorize everything well.

I need YOUR help updating this list with all of the new data from the past couple sets! 

If you want to post additions/changes please follow these simple steps:

• look at the current version number
• start your post with the number one higher than that number (e.g. if the version number is 25 start your post with the number 26)
• list additions/changes

This should both allow me to see which posts need to be looked at to update the master list and in the case that the list isn't updated people will be able to see which posts have not been added to the master list yet.
