Warning! You have now left the WAAPT Multiverse!

This page deals with an out of universe or otherwise meta aspect of the RP.

This is a list of various terms coined / adapted / adopted by the WAAPT Community. Available here so that people add them to their personal dictionaries.

Keep the list in alphabetical order.

  • Double Posting: Two or more posts made in a row by the same player, most often when no one has posted in a while.
  • Eastsomnia: A sleep disorder resulting from having lots of friends in time zones west of you.
