What does OP stand for??

ravagerborgravagerborg Member Posts: 127 Arc User
I've seen many posts talking about OP this, the OP posted this, nerf this because is OP.

What the hell does it stand for?? From the context I'm pretty sure it has different meanings, but can't really figure it out.

My top choices are:
Original Poster
Over Powered
Offensive Power
One Piece
Other People
OutPut


Which is it??

    depends on how it is used in what sentence.

    Oh and more times than not, it's your first two on your list when used around here.

    Based on context, it's "Original Poster," "Original Post," or "OverPowered."

    In the same order: "ravagerborg said it, he's the OP in this thread who posted the OP claiming BFAW is OP."

    It depends on the context as stated above.


    "I've seen many posts talking about OP this... " = Not enough context to go by, but likely means Over Powered.

    "... the OP posted this... " = OP in this case means Original Poster.

    "... nerf this because is OP... " = OP here means Over Powered, because to "nerf" something means to make something useless or less powerful.

    I do not think it ever means anything other than overpowered and original post(er).

    Anything else is not an accepted for MMO games in general unless some game (not STO) happened to have a skill, group activity, class, or something else that happened to abbreviate this way (example, maybe an "operator" class in some obscure game).

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Optimus Prime!
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
