I thought gl hf was good luck high five?

Also, I say dil (pronounced like dial, but the schwa is less noticable) instead of di.

hmmm, i was told it was have fun, what is the consensus on this?

see this is why we need a record

dil is acceptable too, just not as commonly seen as di.

I've always equated gl hf with "good luck, have fun" 

EDIT: did you want this in the Multi-Play Coop section?

urban dictionary agrees its have fun.

hmmm i think faq would be better for most of it as its not all about coop multi, unless u wanna split it, and put the bits in the relevant sections i dont mind.

I have an old list, let me find it...

Here we go:
brb - be right back (or "I'm going to pause now")
gtg/g2g - got to go (or "I'm going to quit now")
gj - good job
rm - remake or rematch, it means start another game with same players and map.
GTFO - "My dear comrade, I fear that we have been incorrect about the size and positioning of our forces and those of our opponents.  As the battle is going poorly, I intend to swiftly disengage and fall back to a more defensible position, and strongly recommend you do the same."
OMFGCUBE!!!1 - Funnystuffpictures and his 3 allies are executing a cube rush, we need to kill it before it finishes.

i puposefully left out a lot of common stuff that's not unique to fleetops, like brb.

but about rm, i havnt heard this before. usually people just say rematch. what is the community consensus on rm, is it used a lot? should i add it? please write your opinions on a postcard and send it along with £50 to:
