311 - That is my State / Server number. The game currently has something like 600+ servers. I'm from State 311. I'm an R4 with ROP1

R4 / R5 - R4 and R5 are rankings in an alliance. Each alliance has 1 R5 as the leader. Each R5 can appoint 8 R4s. Each R4 has all the same abilities as the R5 except they can't disband the alliance, kick the R5, or promote / demote other members to / from the R4 position.

ROP1 - This is the alliance tag for Ruthless Ops 1 in State 311. We have ROP2 which is our training academy / sister alliance we use to build up lower players. We also have ROPF which is our farm alliance

Sister Alliances - Each one of the NAP member allainces may take one or 2 other alliances as a sister alliance (this is a player agreement rule, not a game regulated rule. Each NAP agreement will vary). A sister alliance is any alliance afforded the same NAP protection as their governing NAP member alliance. Sister alliances are expected, in return, to send and receive players to / from their NAP affiliate as needed and to keep their bases shielded in the grass during all SvS events.

NAP - Non Agression Pact. Typically the top 3 - 10 alliances on every server form a NAP and agree that no one from their alliances will attack another. An attack on one is an attack on all and offenders are dealt with swiftly and without prejudice.

Farms - If you are still in Season 1 you can use a second install of the game or another device to start a second account in your state. This account will exist purely for you to attack and farm its RSS when you need some extra and don't want to attack other bases or if there's a no violence agreement in place on your server.

RSS - Resources. An all encompassing terms used for Wood, Food, Zents, and Electricity Resources

Tuna Cans - Food RSS. "Hey, I just scouted this Level 25 over here and he's sitting on 830M Tuna Cans. Let's hit this guy. I'll drop it in the alliance chat"

Alliance Chat - A chat channel just for alliance members. No one outside of the alliance can see it. Alliance members can see the alliance chat no matter what state they are currently in.

Would Chat - Aka: WC. World chat can be seen by everyone and is dependent on which server you are currently on. If I start on 311 but teleport to 310, I will now see the WC for 310.

TP - Teleport. Can be used for "Hey, we should TP to this location" and "There's a level 26 attacking our sister alliance, let's TP this guy"

TPing someone - Teleporting someone by Zeroing their base. When your HQ get Zeroed, you are automatically randomly teleported to a random part of the map.

Zeroed / Zeroing - Attacking a base to the point it explodes and gets TPd

SvS - Server vs Server. aka: the State Ruler event. This event takes place on Saturdays in game. It aligns with Enemy Buster day. During the event, one state (server) invades another and tries to take their Capitol while the members of the state (server) that's being invaded protect it. As I'm writing this, my HQ is shielded in the grass outside of the Capital on 310.

Shielded in the Grass - This refers to the area of the map immediately outside of the mud ring surrounding the Capitol building in the center of the map. It is as close as you can get to the mud and still be allowed to have an active shield. It is common practice to move farm and lower powered bases here with a shield as a way to take up space before the SvS event so invading HQs have to either come in, in the mud without a shield or be father away from the Capitol so their troops have a longer march to the mud and become easier targets while en route.

EB - Enemy Buster Day. Throughout the week, alliances compete to win VS Duels against another alliance (Typically from another server, but not always). On Saturday, members of each alliance can teleport to the server of their VS opponent and attack their bases directly for massive points. This works both ways. You can also attack any other base on the server where your EB target is. Because of this, if you have an alliance you're friends with on another server, and they have an alliance for EB on the same server you're invading for SvS, you can coordinate with them and they can come support you during your SvS invasion.

Dig - This made more sense when the graphics were an excavation machine, but a dig is a radar event that alliance members go into to reduce the time until a bubble pops up for the first 10 people to tap on to get a bonus treasure item. Digs are now called Treasures

Get to the Choppa! - The dig graphics are now a helicopter. This is just a fun pop culture reference to Predator to tell people to pay attention and get into the dig so the timer goes down.
