Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 4:28 pm Post maybe stupid Post subject: ASSS - Suggest some Names |
|
|
|
|
ASSS can be sort of said as a bad word. Continuum sounds cool, and the new server software needs a better name than subgame3, though ASSS sounds nice.
Any suggestions? Please note that the naming choice is left up to Grelminar, since it is his baby, so naming it after yourself won't work. Find a cool word in a dictionary that relates to what it is, like Continuum means "A continuous extent, succession, or whole, no part of which can be distinguished from neighboring parts except by arbitrary division." (dictionary.com) That relates very well as in how Continuum is meant to be exactly like SubSpace, just better. Names should mean something (ASSS does mean something: A Small Subspace Server). |

how introspective
i always thought it was just a nifty name that Priit made up...
how about Erudite...
a name for subgame? we win users just arent the well-creatively endowed high-aesthetic bunch are we?
how about quark
or maybe...maybe i should shut up now. Subgame 3 sounds so appropriate... its just nerds running this, right? shouldnt we be consistent? _________________ Signatures just seem so quaint. |

Well, you could also do something like greek heroes or something:
Bellerophon
Perseus
Theseus
Ajax
Agamemnon
Achilles <--not a great name for a server, but I put it here anyway |

why does it need a name? i agree ASSS will evoke a certain giddiness in adolescents for its entire existence, but do we need something catchy? perhaps a very descriptive, clear name would be more purposeful than one that is flashy or entertaining.
perhaps "Continuum Server Terminal" or something more dry and bland is in order. the last thing we want is confusion, right? another acronym starting with SS or having just about as much face value as one of my posts may only serve to aid the confusion. as it is SSME, SSTE, SSLE, CLE, FACTS, are about as condusive to being understood as a russian mute in india...

ditto, but maybe even more descriptive |

Since hes releaseing the source, how about Open Server Project? Or something linuxish, the other godly open source stuff. Like Ksubgame. _________________ There are no stupid question, but there are many inquisitive idiots.

I like the Linux-ishness as well. Open SubServer, OSS. or something like that all programmers are bad at names, thats why thier are so many proggies named after things like gods.
BTW, Nicely modded phpBB, do it yourself? or is someone releasing a fully modded package? If so, id like the url |

Well, personally I think ASSS fits right in with BanG and the like. "you've got a nice ASSS", etc ... But if it's something nifty you're going for, why not make it sheepy?
Subspace Server Clone (SSC) -- HA!
Subspace Dolly Server
Dolly Subspace Server
etc ... _________________ Oldbie Server Help |

Well, if we were going for that, we would need a redundant acronym, sorta like GNU. |

How is it that everything getrs abbreviated, truncated, or economized on the internet???where did the aesthetic go... that said, come again:
why do we need a fancy name, its not like prospective players will be hooked by the name of the server software |
