Have a suggestion for "bob"? Please post it here. We need as many choices as we can get :D
At the end of this week, the suggestions will be taken and put into a poll where you guys have until January 1 to decide the fate of "bob" :o
Have fun!

For lack of a better idea, I'm gonna post "new venus" just to get things moving along.

(Greek mythology is great for planet names, :P )
-
Anyone tempted to mock "Earth II"? Or maybe something a little different like "Venus II", just do we don't get sued. :P Or there is always "Terra II", or we could again call it "New Terra" and rename the other planet "Old Terra". :P (Or "Old New Terra", as is the custom in some places).

Thank you hooman of reminding me of that failure of a show Earth II. Now I go repress those memories again thanks lol
-
Lol Freeza.
How about ChaBuDuo? In the spirit of selecting an Outpost 2 planet to land on, it means more or less / imprecise. (Or lacking by not much). :P
Just as long as you don't call it 1337. (thumbsdown)
-
Some of the names I've seen are excellant. Others are... well... not happening :heh:
Anyway, stormy, Zanco, TH300 and I will go through all of the names listed and we'll choose 10 of the tops that we think work best. We will then create a poll and see how things go.
Sound good to everybody?
(My personal favorite is New Hope in the spirit of OP2 but it's not my decision to make, now is it?) :)
-
YA I CANT WAIT finally stop calling it "BOB" :D

What do you mean get sued? For what?
I HIGHLY doubt we will be sued for OP2... just... I have a feeling we won't. Either way, OP3 will go on. There isn't a problem with OP3 if you think of it as a "Mod" to op2. Besides, this is all our own work. They can't sue us for our own work! (don't go off topic here, i"m just making my point, keep it on the names :) )
Axalon, great ideas! :D:D:D... although, looks like we will have to have an elimination round to get rid them down to a # that can be put into a poll.
BTW, I like "New Haven" as a name... but we will see :P
-
stormy, I get the feeling that Hooman was joking...
-
Normally I'd suggest "New Terra", based on the small pieces of story information I think I've figured out. But then we'd have to start calling it "OP2 New Terra" and "OP3 New Terra" so we knew what everyone was talking about... So I nominate Terra XXVI for no particular reason.
-
even newer terra
or uber terra
im not good at nameing things lol
-
What do you mean get sued? For what?
stormy, I get the feeling that Hooman was joking...
Yep. B)
And I meant getting sued by the "Earth II" people if we stole their name. (It's an old TV show I watched when I was sorta little).
And yeah, as long as we replace "Bob" with something other than 1337, I'll be happy. (Probably).
How about Nali-Nali?
Hmm, why do the words "Others are... well... not happening " come to mind? :unsure:
-
I thought they said they were done collecting names and were going to begin to set up a poll by eliminating names down to make a good poll.
It would be bad to keep adding names nothing would get done
-
Heh, yeah. Freeza has a point. I guess this is all just useless babble now. :P
Actually, I was thinking 10 might be a bit much to decide on. Polls don't typically have all that great of a turnout on most parts of the forums. It'd suck if everyone voted for a different name, and they were all left tied at 1 vote each. On the other hand, maybe most people will think the majority of names aren't that great and we'll all vote together as one big happy family. (thumbsup)
-
LOL hooman your optimism sickens me. Work all as one big family this isnt the brady Bunch LOL
Any way Ya this poll is going to be interesting Usually polls dont get much coverage and have maybe like 10 votes total. But i think ill takes Levi's Approach and post the link to this tread now and then :).
-
Hmm, why do the words "Others are... well... not happening " come to mind?
hehehe... it's good to know that people pay attention to what I have to say.
Anyway, I guess we could cut down the names in two stages. Instead of ten we'll do 8. We'll run that poll for a couple of weeks. After that, we'll take the 4 highest bidders and run the poll for another couple of weeks. Then we'll take the two highest out of that and which ever one gets the most votes by Jan 1, 2006 will be Bob's new name... :D
Sound good to everone?
-
sounds good to me so come new years there will be a planet with a good name
-
That's the general idea.
-
Two things: One, this topic should remain open so that people can continue to post ideas.
Second, I have one to post myself:
Cythera (pronounced Kithera)
Reason: Some astronomers use Cytherean rather than Venusian/Venesean. After looking it up on Wikipedia, this is the article that I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cythera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cythera)
I'm assuming that there is some sort of signifigance to using the name possibly because of the landscape of the island.
Anyway, I figured it might work out. It's a cool name anyway! (thumbsup)
-
Have you thought of maybe even using a numeric name?
For example, "Alpha 42.11" or something similar.
Then maybe shorten it to just Alpha.
Another thing is, Greek letter names or something. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, ...
-
espilon could be a great name
-
Sounds like a math insult. "You're less than epsilon!" :( Mathematicians can be so very cutting. :'(
-
Alpha Beta Delta Pi Lambda Nu Mu Omicron Rho Epsilon Gamma
thats all i can remember off the top of my head
ALPHA BETA GAMMA DELTA EPSILON ZETA ETA THETA IOTA KAPPA LAMBDA MU NU XI OMICRON PI RHO SIGMA TAU UPSILON PHI CHI PSI OMEGA
This is all of them
-
College Frat, anybody?
-
I Have some names \:D
Nova Terrus
Novus Terra
P1/2210*-S03 *whatever the year is
Hyperion II
Ipateus II
OI (not IO)
Titania II
PSCP #2 (Post-Lunar Colonized Planet #2)
Sonicus
Acadia (figure out what this came from!)
Canada II
SEGA Saturn II
TRIXian
Rabbitus
I may come up with some more /:P
BTW, if it was genisis, it should be Genisis IV because SEGA made 1,2, and 3 already
-
It's not going to be Genesis. That's the name of OP3, we aren't going to use it as a planet.
-
no permutations of new terra. no math. nothing with numerals in it. ocnsidering its only the 4th planet humans have touched (earth, moon, new terra and bob) why would it have a number? thats like picking up a penny you find on the sidewalk and naming it "snuffaluffigus 9" makes no sense, butha.
-
The Moon is not a planet :P. It could be concidered a planetoid tho.
About that Genesis thing. The planet wouldnt have to be named Genesis 4 becasue fo Sega because we arent linked to Sega in any way or form.
And now for the military version of the greek alphabet lol
Able Baker Charlie Dog Echo FoxTrot Gold and something something lol nvm.
-
about the genesis thing, it was only a joke, and besides, i ment the name of the game \:P i was just remembering the old days, when sega reigned supreme
-
How about call planet stormy? :P
or could
call "Omaga Alpha" since it mean the end and begining
-
haha, thank you for the thought, but i don't think the name stormy would go well :P
Hmm...
-
your weclome
aaaah but really sound good for it
also could put name in list that like and have computer randomly pick one ;P if have trouble choose one
-
Alright. We've run way past our deadline and I'm closing this topic.
We'll take a list and review all of the names that have been suggested. Out of us we'll pick the 5 names we like the best and we'll run a poll until January 6th, 2006 to allow for people to decide upon the official name for Bob.
Thank you all for your participation!
