I mean seriously, where does it come from?

FCC is Frostcovered City.

JFC appears to refer to goon squads that are abusing the glitch, but where the hell does JFC come from? Last I knew they were just called goonie runs.

I'm just curious because not only do we have the old-schoolers using the outdated abbreviations for stuff like Rebirth, TT, ect. from the old days of PW-MY, but now we have people making up new ones that appear equally meaningless.

Seems like it would be a lot easier if people just used the proper abbreviations for things, or call stuff what it is instead of randomly making something new.

    Honestly, I don't know where this came from, and I was wondering this same thing myself. I think that it refers to jail frostcovered. Don't me to this. I really can't say whether it does or doesn't. I just figured it out a few seconds after reading your post. Lol.

    Jail Frost Covered. (JFC)

    The Jail is part of the name of the quest for the third boss

    Yes it's stupid, but it's the nature of kids used to TXTing to shorten everything to the point of stupidity. I remember spending a while wondering what the hell a x-bow was. Everyone said the TT X-Bow totally rocked, I figured it was the name of the item. Of course, back then level 60 was an accomplishment.

    The place where the glitched boss resides is actually called the Frost Jail (shown above the mini map).

    I think on Dreamweaver that they are starting to call them cookies in order to decieve the gm's... Not too sure though unless cookies is a term for something else in fc....

    Yeah, you see all kinds of things when people try to "covertly" imply goons. Seen "special", "bring vacs (somesmileyhere)" or so.

    i've seen these abbreviations and new terms, and have been just as lost as you....good to see someone asking about it.

    so here are my questions:

    * what is the "J" in "JFC" mean? Junior?

    * and what the heck is a *goonie run*? what that brings to mind are the crazy blue footed boobie bird, who crash land.b:chuckle

    Alright ppl ill tell u why JFC is called JFC because..........

    when u lure the boss he talks about jail and he says sth like "are u here to take away my prisoner? (and says alot of stuff about being in jail) and then says Glacix dragon Aid me!!

    thts why ppl came up with JFC cause the boss is the jailer.

    it also makes me think what is TT1-x glitch called

    hmm thinking of a name for it. Maybe TT1 Husband wife mode will be nice any suggestions?

    thanks for clearing up the "JFC" bit for me, thought i still dont know what the 'goonies' part is.

    and what do you mean about a TT 1-x glitch? i wonder about that because i do solo TTs often, or go in with my son or daughter. when i recently went in there with a full squad, i was shocked to see the boss with the flag in the room at the top of the ramp, after the first door is opened. in three years of playing, i had never seen him there before. how long has he been there? i had only see him in one of the back rooms of TT 1-*

    Yeah...you guys are kind of fortunate with the JFC term. We on Dreamweaver has been blessed with the "FC with cookies" name. WC is ridiculous with this flowing by. And they're real discreet too, as was pointed out on the previous page : "LF Seeker for FC with cookies *wink,wink* -insert winky face here-"

    FCC is weird in the first place at my server Frostcovered is one word and City is so this would only mean FC although i do understand where it comes from with u FrosCoveredCity FCC sounds more cool. Ok with that said (flame me) the next part JFC that the J stands for Jail cause the quest there is the jail bit, weird and to far thinking make it easier why not make it GFC or even for the other servers GFCC, and the G would stand for Goons or Glitched what makes more sence to me. b:bye
