[BMA] Name for my variant

Post by Berendol » Wed 28.05.2003, 23:48

I need a name for my variant! All of the names I come up with really suck. It doesn't have to contain -band at all, but it would be nice. Anyone got ideas?

Ehh... I dunno about that one, it's funny but I kinda want to make a family friendly game. After all, I know a few people got started when they were what, 14?

/me blissfully ignores all the violence and gore and death

I vote for "botherband".  All monsters when killed turn into Winnie-The-Poo, and utter "oh bother..."

Cute. I don't think so. Basically I don't want the *name* to involve anything objectionable, and that's about it. (Joke coming up.) No Really-%(*&#-Good-Game-That-@%#%#-Kicks-Your-#!@-And-You-Die-Like-A-*%#*@#@#(*$%*#-Band or anything like that. That would be cool by some 15-year old script kiddie's book, but not by his parents. You get the idea. Imagine if you were 12, and you installed something like that on your parents' computer... think they'd be happy? Or look at it from the parents' perspective, which I know a few of you have. Junior puts that in your Start menu, or you happen to see him choose it over his shoulder. What do you think? Anyways, that's my piece.

Decent names welcomed. And they can't be taken already, either... doh! DLMangband would be GREAT except someone used it. Here are some of my recent ideas:
[VilliJiddiIt] VMangband
[Dynamo] Dynaband
[eXtended] XMangband
VenoMBand
[Wilderness] WMangband
Megaton MAngband
[Xtended Town] XTband
Wristband
Headband
Pop-Culture-Band (just kidding)
Everband/Neverband
... or we could try the old Nintendo tradition of adding Super... Super MAngband!

Please, nothing with Cheese or Munchkin.. you know I'm just a few short weeks away from making the game incredibly hard to win.

Why are we getting hung up on the *band concept.

Howbout Indecisiveband (Iband)

Realy it's not that difficult.  Most of the *bands out there have either thier author's name or a semi descriptive name appended.  The people addicted to *bands are gonna give it a try anyway cuz we all want to see new things and most other people wont bother no matter WHAT you call it.

#1. DO NOT annoy other people with advertisements for the game, especially flooding, hacking, spamming, and mass postings! This is the most important thing you can ever learn when it comes to advocacy. I do NOT want ten million angry script kiddies attacking my site, server, or email. Mass advertising on games and websites gets that kind of response. If my connection gets disabled because of a sudden surge in hack attempts, I know who's responsible.

#2. If I can't get rid of you, which I most definitely can, I can still make you miserable. Don't toy with the administrator.

#3. You should probably take the conversation about school to a chat room, such as #teenchat on any major IRC network.

#4. Basic netiquette: Don't post anything that looks like this:
"RE: Very Important Question! Please help!
----------------------
Oh, your question? I dunno, you decide. blah blah blah irrelevant stuff. [randomly insert strings of typical IM abbreviations] blah blah blah more of the same. Well sorry I just wasted my time posting all that. I was bored, thought maybe you'd like to be too."

Thanks for all the positive response.

I really like Crimson's idea. Dang it it's such a good name, and a comfortable 4 degrees above ISO room temperature. I might go with it, if I don't hear any better ideas before long.
