I always through it stood for: "Awwwwww…. POW!"

As in, the thing you shout when a runner gets hit by your Neural Katana.

Then you do a little dance.

it also comes from military equipment like anti personnel mines.

The Cyberpunk 2020 explanation sufficed. Not that I don't appreciate you going into its military source, but that's going a bit far. It's kinda like looking the etymology of the word "firewall" for example: though the computer term borrows directly from the engineering term, they're such different things.

You call it 'thievery'. I call it 'social justice'.

Um okay. I was just answering you when you asked me where I heard anti personnel was the answer and why that was the answer I gave to the OP who asked what AP means. I don't know anything about some Cyberpunk 2020 so that was not the reason that I gave the answer. You asked why I said that, I answered. That was all.

 

Everyone seems very on edge lately, not sure if it is the holidays or the troll thread or both. Might be time for a forum vacation.

Well, as far as I can judge from good old Germany, world has not ended yet.

Which makes me wonder. Is there going to be the STAR WARS LCG after all and will I still be able to get a copy of 'What lies ahead' after the first shipment was sold out at my trusted online shop.

 

Well I think I'll have to wait and see…and thank God for winning against the Mayas or whoever. (Undoubtedly in a game of Netrunner)

I'm sorry; I didn't mean to sound to brusque or blunt by that.

Knowing that it's an official "in-world" term used by Talsorian Games was really all I wanted. I apologize, Toqtamish.

AP = Anti-Personnel, since the relevant ICE all do net damage to the runner.

Aptly Put.

The military thing is just a coincidence it most likely would be a computer term like tcp/ip network stuff (which is transmission control protocol/ Internet protocol). So I would say it be more like attack protocol

No, it's always been Anti-Personnel. It's a Cyberpunk thing.
