Too many abbreviations

[Hawke]

Currently there are way too many abbreviations used in NAFLM, without explanation.

Examples: (from match report): Mvp | Cp | Td | Int | Bh | Si | Ki | IR 1 D1 | IR 1 D2 | IR 2 D1 | IR 2 D2 | IR 3 D1 | IR 3 D2 | Inj | Ageing 1 | Ageing 2 (from player standings): W | D | L | GP | GF | GA | Td | Cp | Int | Cas | BH | Si | Ki | MVP | SPP

Obviously many of these can be guessed at (W/D/L, BH/Si/Ki/MVP/SPP) but it might be better to either use the expanded version or otherwise indicate what they mean (mouseover tooltip?)

Hawke ::

BH = Badly Hurt SI = Serious Injury (+stat loss) KI = Killed IR1D1/IR1D@, etc - "Improvement Roll D1/D2" so you can trail results on improvement rolls.

I agree that a legend would be helpful - especially on the expanded stats.. but those ones should be pretty easily picked up.

I understand after some investigation what they mean, but I’m suggesting that they’re too cryptic and would be better off not used at best or at least explained in place, especially when they're not common to blood bowl proper (or at least not current editions).

They are mainly used for the BOTOCS and Cyanide applications.

There was a user doc done, that did have all the abbreviations in it. It is a little outdated now, as it was done 2 years ago... (this is not going to format well. but it will be below.)

The abbreviations are also used in the database, so each abbreviation is a database field, important to remember as you are adding data to a sql db at the time of entry.

Shouldn't matter that it’s a database field, there’s no reason the display name must match the db field name. (also relevant for translation)

Tooltips would be a good addition as would a Glossary page, especially for new users. Should be added to mid term development goals.
