Introduction

We can easily see people constantly asking for an expert/defuser in the forums. This is natural, since this game is a mandatory co-op game. But this comes as an expense: if someone does not have a fixed partner, they may confuse themselves when they pair up with someone different. If the player is a long-time player, this may be even more significative. Also, there may be argument as to which notation they must follow.This guide presents a bona-fide "unbiased" notation for those cases. Since I have no need to have my particular notation to be the one used, the guide will be improved further via comments on suggestion of new notation. Of course, they must be reasonable and not personal-based.As a disclaimer, I want to say that my opinion is that each given pair of players must have their own notation. This is part of the fun. This guide is just to give a skeleton on which to work with in the cases mentioned above. For example, I have an specific way of adressing the button module with my partner, but since this is not involved with "notation" issues, I will not discuss it here.
