Daaaamn! That's some heavy shit and now for the flash back volume...

Yanagi gave the order for his troops to RTB.

I get the jargon but others might not, just use full "Return to Base" here?SonodaYuki (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2013 (CST)

I agree, no reason to shorten it. It just creates a unnecessary footnote. All Night (talk)

You should pretty much assume that all acronyms are copied straight out of the original text, so they should stay as is. Rava (talk) 09:00, 4 March 2013 (CST)

You can make that assumption, but in this case, it's wrong, sadly to say. The original text has no such acronym of RTB. It is possible the chinese translator used it, or it is possible Drey added it in himself. Also, any acronym in MKnR is explained in full terminology at least once. Since RTB is only ever used once in the entire text, there is no particular reason to believe it was in the original. I think changing it to "Return to Base" would be least confusing. -- EnigmaticAxiom (talk)) 20:50, 06 March 2013 (CST)

Ah, then a footnote should be fine, in that case.SonodaYuki (talk) 09:16, 4 March 2013 (CST)

What does Halloween have to do with being a christian ??

Though the origin of the word Halloween is Christian, the holiday is commonly thought to have pagan roots.[12] Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain", which comes from the Old Irish for "summer's end"

Hax. Damn it...Tatsuya is so cool :) FlawedBliss talk 3:58, 17 March 2013 (GMT+8)

...um, is a purely heat based explosion that evaporates everything in the vicinity without a trace supposed to be puke-inducing?
