Fun thread - your favourite bot names...

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

I think it's time for a new fun thread here, although it's actually not too far off topic: What are your favourite bot names? Do you follow the example of old PODBot and give'em names (or nicks) of friends & people you know? Do you like stupid or nonsense names? Or do you prefer them to be serious (whatever that may be...)?
I like names that are funny, but not totally stupid. For example, I wouldn't name a bot "Asshole" or something like that... I prefer names that make you laugh if you know what's behind them; names with allusions in them. Can you think of funny ones? Maybe we can start a contest and see who's got the best idea... I'll open the contest with "Tal Rusher"... how's that? Or would you prefer "Sir Campalot" ?

cant think of any cs bots names right now.. but when worms 1 was out i always gave them names that began with fluff.. so fluff fluffer fluffi.. and so on..

lmao @ Sir Campalot

I used to call my first bots funny names too, like James Bonk or Barbie Turics
Once I named them all with dead presidents' names, that was hilarious

Well, I couldn't stand reading the names of Count Floyd, DaTa etc. anymore, although some of those nicks are just stylish. Killaruna, for example, or Rambotnic.

James Bonk... ** good one indeed - but I don't get the gag in "Barbie Turics"... ??? I always keep a list of nice names, and when I wake up at 4 o'clock in the night and a funny name occurs to me, I write it down and add it to the list the next day. But it's amazing how the most obvious puns can escape you for months - I didn't come up with BotZilla (a real bad and very easy one) until some weeks ago. At that time, I already had one called Leonardo DiCapribot... (twice the fun to shoot, hehe...)

@ TruB: Man, you're right - Worms was another one of those "funny names" games. I gave my worms the names of musicians in bands I liked... 9_9

"Barbie" is a shortened version for "Barbara" and this bot was configured to use a female player model... and barbiturics are dangerous chemical medicine which is actually the first used means of suicide for women - eating pills of barbiturics makes you stunned and fall asleep, and in most cases you don't wake up
Perhaps I shouldn't joke with these matters in fact...

Aaaah, NOW I see... wow, that's a name I like... some thought behind - although this time too much thought for me
You know, my stupid brain keeps coming up with nonsense. Yesterday when I went to bed, for some reason I thought about the whole CS business and the ppl here, Austin among them. Thus I came to think of Austin Powers (The Spy Who Shagged Me), and my brain immediately comes up with a bot name: The Guy Who Fragged Me... i can't help it. It's stronger than me...

when i used realbot back in the day i had a bot called AeroDynamicFlyingPenis

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

o_O WTF... I wouldn't want to be shot by a guy called like this, that's for sure!
But a friend of mine removed another bot name from my botnames.txt because he couldn't stand being fragged by Leonardo DiCapribot... 9_9

Btw: You resurrected an ancient thread!
