Quoted from mof:

Oh snap, I went with EHH -- I wonder how many games we include the O and how many we do not -- someone would have to research that...

LOTR and WOZ come to mind.

Has there ever been a thread to 'pick' an abbreviation for a pin before?

It is fairly simple.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the games full title
2. Take the first letter of each word
3. If those letters conflict with another abbreviation add the fewest remaining letters to make it unique, or append the next sequence number if the titles are exactly the same.

Here is the application:
1. Elvira's House of Horrors
2. EHOH
3. Conflict? No. Done.

How we F that up is amazing!
