mrc?

Still new and trying to learn my way around. I find some of the Jargon quite confusing. For instance, had someone send me "mrc" and I haven't a clue what this might mean. The person helped me out, I said thanks, they said "mrc". I can't even find this in the guides about jargon.

I sent back "mrc?" wanting to know what it meant but got no reply at all. Can someone clue me in?

It's like Sigmund Freud said: "Sometimes gibberish is just gibberish." He also said you want to sleep with your mother.

Model Rectifier Corporation? Massive Rectal Contusion?

If you were a villain he may have been asking if you were a mercenary Mastermind?

Also, perhaps Meaty Red Chomper would fit the bill.
Must Remember Chocolate also comes to mind.

There are many great things that MRC can stand for :P



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Urbandictionary.com doesn't even have anything on it. So, yeah, it's gibberish.

Katze your picture freaks me out everytime I see it I honestly say!

My first thought is maybe shorthand for "merci."

...which I guess wouldn't make much sense, but that's all I've got.

The first thing that came to my mind was that 'mrc' stood for mercenary, which would make sense if he had been asking what type of Mastermind (if that is even applicable) you are. But since it was a response to him helping you out and your 'thank you' that is highly unlikely.

Something that might have happened is that he meant to type something else but accidently hit the wrong key (I know I do this a lot). If we look at the keys closest to the letters typed we get:

Replacing 'm'
nrc
jrc
krc
lrc
,rc
rc

Replacing 'r'
m4c
m5c
mtc
mgc
mfc
mdc
mec

Replacing 'c'
mrd
mrf
mrv
mr
mrx

Other Possible Combinations
j4c
j5c
jtc
jgc
jfc
jdc
jec
k4c
k5c
ktc
kgc
kfc
kdc
kec
,4c

To me the closest seems to be Nurvus's idea of a shortening of 'Merci' (French for Thank You). While it doesn't fit exactly at least it is in the same ballpark.

It's just another nonsensical tell from one of those incomprehensible players. It happens.

Ah, but we have to keep it in context, and my guess is there was a typo:

NTR - No Thanks Required.

[edit] Mind you, a really bad typo.


@Rylas

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

NTR makes the most sense. That looks like a combination of fingers on the wrong keys an dyslexia from typing in a hurry. I would not have guessed that, but it does make sense in the context of why it was said.


 

Posted

Except that C isn't exactly near N, T, or R.


 

Posted

I think it's a fumble-fingered attempt at "LFT" (looking for team).
