Fleet Name (Poll Closed - We Have a Winner)

[Arathrael]

Sooo, for beta it's the usual HamsteR.

But certain people/person aren't keen on that for some reason. Apparently they want something different. Tsch.

So here's a few suggestions, many of which are (deliberately) crap. Make some more and then we'll have a poll or something.

• HamsteR
• Hamster Fleet
• Hamsters in Space
• Space Hamsters
• Star Hamsters
• Star Rats (it's a palindrome!)
• Hamster Wing
• Rocket Rodents

And so on.

if people don't like the hamster name, how about taking a leaf from CoH/CoV : M.O.N.K.E.H ?

We die a lot (this one would be probably the most accurate)

I had better ones than that but I forgot

That's a bit too close to that old E&B guild, what were they called... oh yeah, the BSC, British Space Corpse wasn't it.

There's another though, HSC, Hamster Space Corps(e).

I second either BSC or HSC.

I'll start a poll with the suggestions tomorrow evening, so there's another day to get your ideas in.

I asked Sam for ideas by the way. She suggested Starship Squeakers. Oh dear.

Oh, here's another idea. You know how hamsters have those exercise balls right?

Space Hamster Balls!

Last call for suggestions! I'll be opening the poll when I get home tonight, so some time around six, seven, probably.

If you want something totaly off the wall, my IRC suggestion of "Resistance is Character Forming" stands

[Arathrael]

If we're going down that road, Resistance is Volts / Amps.

I added some latin stuff in case we want to be fancy. The "nascetur ridiculus mus" one is from the latin phrase, "parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus" which means "Mountains will be in labour, and a ridiculous mouse will be born", which apparently means "all that work and nothing to show for it" - seemed appropriate for a MMO.  

So, there's a poll, it'll run for a week, you can pick three names (to reduce the chance that we all pick completely different names). The top name wins, if it's tie, we'll have a run-off poll.

[Arathrael]

OK, we have a clear winner, and that winner is... 

Hamster Space Corps
