Of course this does not refer to situations in which a generally uncommon acronym is well known. :P

CP has only one meaning and it's not "control point," "Cyberpunk," or "counter protestors."

It's a defence mechanism. I want to scare people away from trying to participate in a topic they know nothing about but feel like an expert in. Those that do know about the acronyms are worth the while.

Ah fair enough, I have actually heard of all of those, but I've never played any of them. I think Assassin's Creed is the only one you can really use without mentioning the name first, but true, even then it's too ambiguous.
