BGTWKOA

Jul 17, 2008 Fediroc link
Anyone know what BGTWKOA stands for?

From the VoWiki/Teradon entry:

"Virtually nothing is known about this spacecraft, other than that it is a midsized capital vessel that carries a TPG identification tag. Reports put it somwhere between the Trident Light Frigate and the Heavy Assault Cruiser in size, as it is a Frigate Class vessel. Its armament consists of four BGTWKOA anti-capital ship cannons, many capital gauss cannons, and a full compliment of neutron turrets. It should be noted that all of these weapons are capable of detonating incoming ordinance if they hit it. "

I believe that the Teradon's "Golden Balls of Dooooooom" were first called the BGTWKOA in this thread.

I think you can figure it out on your own from there.

I think that acronym might be removed soon. "Mini Goliath Cannon" is slightly more accurate, given this post, but perhaps "Anti-Capital Ship Cannons" will suffice.

BGTWKOA is a reference to the game Marathon by Bungie, just as an aside.

Really? I remember the SPNKR, the WSTE-M, TOZ-T... Don't remember BGTWKOA. I guess that's the Pfhor staff glowy balls?

Well, it is not abbreviated, and it is not 'G' but 'F'. Big Floating Thing What Kicks Our Asses, for the Pfhor Juggernaut. Ah, good times...

I used the weapon acronyms for kill taunts, though... people killed by nukes were TOZ-Ted.

Yikes, all of these acronyms are new to me!

Really? I always referred to the Juggernaut as the Juggernaut. Cuz, you know, thats what it was called. TBH, I used Anvil for a bit, so the Suicide bobs were to me, Assimilated Bobs. Yes, those were good times. When our internet connection wasn't slower than dial-up (I'm supposedly on a 1.5 mb connection)
