    sigh... this is in vain. I agree with Comprox, and be warned "Bobers" ingame if you ever call the level one a bob, somones getting shot/clawed/maimed. But if b.o.b. stood for something cool, like Bombs over Baghdad (ha ha yea, Outkast) or Biomechanic Oversized Braincrab, then it would be fitting.

    no! i like the idea of making bob just bob, no standing for anything or something. Bob is what makes and thrives NS. I definatly think it should be in. In the description, you might call it something else, then end the description like this: '...[other name] is thus one of the deadliest aliens there is. bob.' no one will know what the bob means. Only the hardcore NS fans <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Why are you discussign this, you can call the level 1 what you want, if you want to call it Tiny, well then just call it like that.

    but dont you think Flay & co will give it names?
  • pielemuispielemuis Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 72Members, NS1 Playtester
    sure the aliens will have official names, you have to admit that calling bob doesn't really go with the overall NS-atmosphere.

    I think people making a big deal out of this is silly. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I would happy to find this in the manual.

    The first alien you encounter, #Flayra's official name goes here###, also known as Bob amoung the (31337) TSA troops, is a etc.

    Now stop moaning about bobs name. I'd hate to have to get used to a new name <u>replacing</u> bobs name, but I can't wait until the official name comes with it. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Go ahead and shoot people who call it that in game, if you want the commander to kick you.

    I'll call him a bob in game <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> Just remember, shoot AT me, and you'll find my gun wedged in quite an uncomfortable place, set on full auto, with the trigger depressed.

    Thus is why you do not argue with my commands in game. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Lol, a bit fun about the story of bob, "Or bob..." Lol, awesome! Oh well, atleast I know now,
  • JedisarJedisar Join Date: 2002-03-03 Member: 264Awaiting Authorization
    Heh, It's just cool to give a murderous, horrible, scary beast the name "bob"..it's endearing, it makes you feel all the closer to him as a marine.


    Not too close, though, or you'll be in his belly!
  • BananBanan Join Date: 2002-02-22 Member: 235Members
    Yeah, if he was called something scary we would scare all the kids away, ;P

    Apparently not, as you repeated it. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Bob should just be bob, don't make it be short for something. By the way, I probably didn't need to say this, as it's the (sensible) developers who are deciding, and they'll know what to do.
