A Dictionary for Trials

'Gather for Destiny buffs and Auras' means 'No more buffs this run, period.'

'Soandso pull Siege' means 'Soandso cannot POSSIBLY pull Siege. We need YOU to do it instead. Everyone's counting on you. Now's your chance to shine!'

'Let Siege get close to Nightstar' means 'ATTACK NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!'

'Slow on Siege' means 'I hope you've got your best attacks on autofire, and don't even THINK about dismissing those pets.'

'Send two Blasters, Controllers, or Dominators to the spawn area' means 'Energy Blasts, Bonfire, Gale, Hurricane, and Wormhole to the spawn area ASAP! Especially if you've also got AV-killing debuffs!'

'AOEs and Judgement on adds' means 'Adds?'

'Follow your team leaders to the glowies' means 'CHINESE FIRE DRILL! STAT!'

'Use acids on doors' means 'Scrappers dogpile Marauder!'

Likewise, 'Please check your temps' means '... ... <tumbleweed> ... ... ... <cricket>... ... ... ...'

'Someone use a grenade on Mikey' means 'There's PLENTY of time on the clock.'

'We're going to attempt a master badge run' means 'Scrappers ASSEMBLE!'

'If you die and are not rezzed, go to the hospital' means 'There are needles in the hospital. And spiders. And clowns. They're in the sewers, after all.'

I experienced all of these definitions at one point or another. Also I think you should add 'All communications will be through league chat' means 'Everything will be broadcast on local or team chat, and if you see no activity on them it means that you have the okay to do whatever you feel like."

I don't think there's a single error in the OP.

*wipes tear*

Do not forget the 'Team 1 has finished in the lab, head to the warehouse to help the other team guys' which means...'My team has finished cause we rock and the other team sucks, I am going to dance like a pillock in the cutscene area and not help one bit more.'

Oh and...'Melees please pull Nightstar to the courts' which translates to 'Sorry we are all worthless melees who cant be bothered or handle pulling, so we will let the squishies do it, die a few times, then moan they did a terrible job.'

Another...'Team 1 to warehouse, team 2 to lab,' which to some people means, 'Go to whichever spot you like, regardless of where your team is, pay no attention to the fact your team is in the other area asking for help, do not wonder why the names of all the people in said area are all colored different (ie, not on your team).'

you missed an important one "23 of 24 are ready" means 24, tab out and watch some funny kitten vids on youtube.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Did a CoP run today and for that, you have a few special phrases:

"Heroes and Vigilantes only" means anyone can join. "Villains and Rogues only" means the same thing.

"Enter XXX base" means to enter a random base. Or just stand around for another five minutes, either works.

"Take the resonators/spires to 30%" means "DESTROY IT NAO! What are you waiting for?"

Outstanding work of translation. Now it is all so clear to me. LOL

If you have room add...

Check your temp powers for acids we need to close those portals = stand around doing nothing cause you don't want to admit.... "I don't know where to look for that dude!"

Team 1 and 2 to north choke point Team 3 to south = Wait What? which way is north again? Hey am I on team 2? Oh look that guy is running away for us! Wow those PRISONER HAS ESCAPED letters are really BIG aren't they?

Oh and ...

Unless you have mez protection stay away from the doors = Hey why are all my pets attacking me? And the other guys at this door?

I will point out something interesting revealed by Positron during the Meet and Greet.

You only actually ever get 8 Acid Grenades despite there being 10 crates.

Yup, it's designed so that there is always 2 doors that you need to bust the weapons crates out by Marauder for.

Sneaky dastards.

Also I hate to say it but Union seems to have very little problems with regards the trials but then fewer numbers, no LFG made trials (all premade) means you get a selection of dedicated 'raiders' as it were.

Oh right wow I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

In that case today has been a bad day, I haz been wrong twice!

Also I misunderstood Posi's joke.

I'm sorry Posi, forgive me!

I just did one today where all the doors went down almost immediately, and all the grenades were passed. We had some Lambda newbies too. So there's no excuse, people.

Another translation: "Trial forming, PST" = "Trial forming, spam global channels or broadcast for invite." The leader didn't invite the people who did that. Interestingly, that was the trial where all the temps were miraculously found. It was an interesting tactic to weed out people who lack reading comprehension, I think I will use it in the future.
