Talk:Game master

GM is generally General Manager. Have you seen anything to lead you to believe it's Game Master? --Karlos 21:48, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * It was used in the 20060302 update description (very bottom). Chat color changed from green to purple. Green was the chat color of devs and admins. What could "GM" mean here, other than "Game Master" or "Game Maker"? See: GM -- 22:00, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * My question though was, how do you know which one it is? Check out the link from Wikipedia:
 * 72 possible explanations --Karlos 22:05, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * Out of the 72 abbreviations, exclude all that have nothing to do with gaming and exclude all that stand for terms that did not previously have a green chat color in GuildWars. This leaves you with two possible options: Game Master or Game Maker, with Game Master being the more likely option. I'm open to other suggestions. -- 22:12, 3 March 2006 (CST)


 * General Manager, the most common abbreviation of all. Here in the US, people use the term GM to refer to the guy in charge. The GM of this ball club, the GM of this company, the GM of this organization. This is why I find your choice, with no backing, odd. Why even state so emphatically that it is "Game Master"? Game Maker is game making tool, I am not sure why you think it's a viable option. All I am asking is why are we as a wiki stating so emphatically what it is when we have no clue? I will edit that part out till we have a clue. --Karlos 22:24, 3 March 2006 (CST)
