I have a great Idea, no, BRILLIANT idea
 
We take every members name in the forum, those who post here, and we make a SYSTEM NAMES file out of that list for use with SEIV.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Lets do it!

I guess we will have to get a list of names, but with nearly 5,000 members, how do we thin the heard?

I guess if you want your name used in this idea you can post here.

Wadoyamean?

Like this: Primitve

Or something like this: Lair of the Primitive hordes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: I have a great Idea, no, BRILLIANT idea
 
Make sure you use a capitalized G, E, and B when you use my name (GregEBowman). That would look better than all small case letters. But you're right. That is a Brilliant idea.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sounds real fine until you find your homeworld in a system called, "Loser" (LOL). Or you see your nickname in one of those "dying star" systems.

Actually, Gryphin and I played a game with new system names...kind of a riot, really.

The only way to get the names would be to start a list here (assuming there is no way to get it downloaded from the forum/Shrapnel). Just ask who wants their name on it.

hmmm, very interesting idea, but do you think my system could be called 'The Avatar System" or planet 'Avatar'?

Just a thought, but you can use my real name if you want to.

Ah, my Lawyer informs me that using my name in a System entitiles me to at least %10 of all Resources, Research, and Intelligence produced in Systems bearing my name.

I definately said my name can be used and that if possible to use 'Avatar' as an alternate. (or both http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Just to clear up all questions about how to pronounce my name. I have two words,.. German and Vast (take the Ger form German and the Va from Vast, put them side by side GerVa and you now know how to pronounce my name. Simple eh? )
