Don't worry about the detractors...especially with nothing constructive to
add.

What about In Rogue?

I would've suggested that also, or En Rogue. Or how about Rogue's Royce?
Arti-Facts? The Daily Wield? The Dart Trap?

A set of fine suggestions!

I like The Dart Trap most. Also The Dayly Wield and En Rogue are great.
(Though I'd abstain from similarities to existing brands; a variation:
The Rogue's Choice?)

Personally, as one of the detractors, I would suggest 'Eugor', if only
because it can be pronounced 'Igor'.

Wonderful... now I'm stuck with a mental image of a half-orc in a

In german ears it sounds like a sheep who tries to be competent.

That reminds me of this from ages and ages ago...


"From: Simon de Vet (sdevet@istar.ca)
Subject: Filk (Not the quest...)
Newsgroups: rec.games.roguelike.adom
Date: 1998/10/16


[Enter, Stage Right, an Orc Barbarian. Said Barbarian walks towards
stage center. About halfway, he trips, and begins to prance around to
music just starting. The Barbarian begins to sing:]

Brabarian: "Oh... I wish I were a Chaos Ending Winner!
That is what I'd truly like to be!
For if I were a Chaos Ending Winner,
Everyone would be so proud of me!"

[Upon ending of first verse, the back curtian rises, and an entire
chorus line of Trolls, dressed in tutus appear. They begin singing, arm
in arm, kicking out their legs in unison to the music]

Trolls: "Oh, he wish he were a Chaos Ending Winner!
That is what he truly want to be.
For if he were a Chaos Ending Winner,
We would be so very proud of he!"

[As this verse comes to an end, things seem to be happening. A Booming
Voice (The-One-Who-Rages, perhaps?) joins the chorus. A dozen Fire
Elementals join, as a torch procession. Greater Molochs stand by the
sides, framing the group, grinning. A big finish.]

All: "Oh, I wish/he wish I/he were a Chaos Ending Winner!
That is what I/he truly want to be.
For if I/he were a Chaos Ending Winner,
Everyone/We would be so proud of me/he!"

Tada. Adom, the musical."

I thought "@" was hilarious, but would be too difficult to unambiguously
reference.

One suggestion from me: "-more-"

Also, kudos to these suggestions:
The Daily Wield
En Rogue

Sheer perfection, that. I can't imagine anyone coming up with a better name.

Yeesh...

I ask for suggestion for names and get about 5 responses, but as soon
as I post a topic announcing the name I get flooded with
suggestions...

Now how am I going to choose which one to use now? (shrugs and shakes
head).

Still they are nice names anyhow, maybe I'll just change the name each
month! :)

"--more--", perhaps?

It's very NetHacky, though. The name should appeal to all roguelikes, I
guess.

Since the pun has nothing to do with the translation, what difference does
it make?

You must be joking. After the last tangent in this same thread?

Sometimes I think Neo does this as a kind of troll in-joke...
