Can't Think Of A Cool Ns Name

<div class="IPBDescription">here's a neato idea</div> well, inspired by just reading Six Days in Sanjii (the official fiction for NS, go to the homepage of ns.org, click on World>6 days in Sanjii).

if you are going marine, just use yer last name! as an avid comm, i think it'd be super cool to be like "Smith, Wong, get to Station access now!", "Emerson, Walton, go hunt some fattehs!!!"






just an idea. of course, i'll still be calling myself Niteowl <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That would be a pretty cool idea. I can just imagine it...I jump in the comm chair and it says 'Commander: Sgt S. Murphy' on my marine's screens. I haven't read Six Days in Sanjii but I have read Unknown Enemy: Uncertain Outcome so I know what you are talking about.

    My clan tried it for a while when NS first came out, but it dind't last. There was jealousy about people having different ranks. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    HA HA HA you guys are crazy. But I dont think I want to use my last name. People would be calling me Mr. Rogers. Although he was a marine I still dont think it would go over well <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I bet eventually you would run into troubles with people having the same last name.

    I don't think '<b>Bänsch</b>' would sound good.



    <i>Edit:</i> You would pronounce it 'bansh' I think..whatever

    One server actually has a rule: "must have pronounciable (sp?) name or risk geting kicked"

    lol

    lucky me, i got the best name of all. Ripped it offa Starfox 64. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I like that rule. A kick is a bit extreme though, just have everybody start calling him "Wang" or "Snugglepants", I'm sure it'd make for some interesting matches.

    I like the last name idea, but I'd probably just make up a last name, something Marine-ish.

    Hi!

    I just wandered through the forum and found this topic, and wanted to say that after reading 6 days in Sanjii -I read it before I playing the game- I automaticaly took a name that would sound like a "good old marine" name and thus chose "Riley". <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    And it seemed quite natural to me to do so.
    And when I play as an Alien, I laso change my name into something more... "exotic" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Because "Private Riley" sounds good to me when playing as a marine, while "Riley is Lerk" just sounds awkward, still in my own opinion...
    Also being told by my comm "private Sharr'Rahk! Move to waypoint!" would make me feel like... somehow uncomfortable... like a spy (or a lamb) in the opposite camp (or make me feel like I would have stepped in the wrong party at least), while "Sharr'Rahk is Lerk" just seems totally in order...

    I must say that as a RPG (the one with sheet and dices and friends around a table) player, this kind of thing comes by itself to my mind...

    I like having a name that tells a message to the other player when our names both appear in the top right corner of the screen.

    So far when I eat a marine it shows

    Magically Delicious <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> NSPlayer
