Why don't change the names of the Drod protagonists to something more common? No pig in the world is called "Beethro Budkin" or "Halph" (Which sounds like "half" by the way). I'd suggest to call Beethro Budkin "Erik Freeman" and Halph Budkin "Sam Freeman" in TCB. Also the name of his weapon "Really big sword" is a little odd. Excalibur sounds cooler! Or make it possible for the player to give them his own name!

And what about tar and mud. The stuff on the road and wet ground dosn't sound really like a living thing (although tar and mud is organic). Why don't make it "water elemental" and "slimey death"?

Moreover the term "hold" is sensless. Let's call it Level-Set. More people will understand this.

I doubt that Mr Cab Driver is serious about this (or any of his other feature requests).

He is either the crazy alter ego of one of the oldtimers of some exotic rare mutation of an internet troll.

I vote we dissect him and do all kinds of weird experiments to find out which.

Well, usually trolls don't submit holds, but let's dissectstudy him anyway in case he *is* an ultra rare kind of troll...

Actually, I think he may just be a common form of absolute newbie, so don't dissect him yet.

Hey guys ! You are insulting me.... you talk about me like an idiot. Hell, I am a newbie, that's correct. But thats no reason to "dissect" me. So could you please change your behavior?

Cab Driver - I'm sorry you got upset by our posts above, but seriously, what did you expect after this feature request - it certainly looks like you are either A - somewhat rude, B - joking, or C - both, and people respond by joking back in a sort of rude way.

Well, that would be Erik as a studied physican slaying hordes of headcrap-roaches with a really-big-crowbar(tm).

Erik has some lovely advice on the naming of swords, put to song in Smitemastery 101, and it basically boils down to:

Give the guy a break. When someone is new to a forum, the last thing they want is to be made fun of. I know when I first joined this forum I was impressed at how tolerant you guys were of new people.

Even if he was a troll, I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt.

Beethro arrives at TCB....

Beethro: Where am I?
2nd Gatekeeper: The City Beneath[tm]. What do you want?
Beethro: Information.
2nd Gatekeeper: You won't get it. While in the empire, you are granted Visitor status. You shall be known as the 6th Visitor.
Beethro: "Who are you?"
2nd Gatekeeper: "I am 2nd Gatekeeper."
Beethro: "Who is the 1st?"
2nd Gatekeeper: "You are the 6th Visitor."
Beethro: "I am not a number! I am a Freeman!"

edit: also Rover = Wubba

By the way I propose that all joking feature requests be officially titled "Rayguns". Maybe with the bug/feature request symbol being a Raygun.

While an amusing idea in theory, I think that it would get kind of irritating when we actually have legitimate newbies making requests that they think is reasonable, everyone else assumes it's a joke (IE, the reverse of this situation) and the newbie doesn't understand why there's a laser gun next to his thread, mm?

I agree with some of the people. This isn't half life. But yet again you could make there name be Erik Freeman in a hold that you could make.

Yeah, Beethro is just to refer to him in official holds, and where you don't want to name him anything else. I know a hold where he was called "Samus".
