Agent 13 Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Re: Super Names Not really-not everybody likes to see large lisrts of super names. If those people would like to PM me, I'll be sure to alert the proper authorities that someone is holding a gun to their head making them read a thread titled "Super Names".

Lord Beavis Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Re: Super Names Overall, pretty good. Very comprehensive. Some names are poor and some are good. The ones with the long explanations seem to be really poor choices. Villian: Who are you hero? Hero: I am Oberon, you know from medieval folklore: king of the fairies and husband of Titania. Villian: (laughing histerically) Who? Where's your wife? What is super power? Make your enemy fall out laughing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightray Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Warning! Humor ahead! Proceed with caution! Not really-not everybody likes to see large lists of super names. Well, then, would someone tell those people to put a rush on my application to join the Wrongbadfun Police? If people can impose their groupthink on one little thread that's usually not at the top of the list, someone should finally put paid to those damned WWYCD threads!

Dynamo Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Re: Super Names I thought Ben turned off the negative rep feature? And did they give some reason' date=' or was it just a drive-by neg repping? Baffling.[/quote']I thought so too, but these are recent. I guess the actual subtraction from your rep total is off (ny total seems unchanged), but the ding still logs. Two of the three detractors left no comment, but one seems to be making a positive comment (bad grammar and spelling, so hard to tell). Maybe the interface was a little much for him.

Are you sure it's not just grey rep? If it's from someone with 10 or less rep, they have no power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Re: Super Names They look the same as the one that actually lost me points before Ben turned off NegaRep. Odd. I'd ask Ben or Dan. But I bet that's the case. And I'm sure it was offset in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually worried about it, just being wry. And yes, a few people went and gave me some PosiRep and brought me to an all-time high (for me, that is ). Thanks guys.

Basil Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: Super Names Dang, got too busy over the hollow-days to notice there's a new Master List. Well, I hope none of these are on it (I doubt very strongly they are). I'll check the rest I've got waiting against the list before posting them. I've got a bunch of non-English ones for you all. I've mentioned the language and the translation in parentheses after each name. Hemel-Brand (Dutch: sky-fire) Het Leven Dijk (Dutch: the living dike) Sterke Man (Dutch: strong man) Puissance (French: power) Der Gelbe Funken (German: the yellow spark) Die Lachende Löwe (German: the laughing lion) Ewig (German: eternal) Kraft (German: strength) Kreuzfahrer (German: crusader) Tier-Mädchen (German: beast-girl) Überall (German: everywhere) Resistenza (Italian: resistance) Velena (Italian: poison) O Navegador (Portuguese: the navigator) O Viajante (Portuguese: the traveler) Fuerza (Spanish: force) Yasimin (Turkish: jasmin) Two that are "foreign" without be translations of any English word.

Basil Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Super Names A few notes on names already accepted or rejected: It’s spelled Pheidippides. You have both "Celsius" and "Celcius"; the second is misspelled, is that on purpose? It’s spelled Felonious, not Felinious. "Destruga" is a "state", not a person. "Carpathia" is in European Enemies.
