Why? Here is an insight into a couple of sick minds (apologies to others in BUFFY who don't actually want to be lumped into the 'sick minds' group :D) and how these things come about ...

  • Denniz: You guys can test it as BUFF and not say anything about the HOF/GOTM stuff until later.
  • emperor.fool: k I invited
  • emperor.fool: alerum: "sweet"
  • ruff_hi: @Denniz - that is a good idea
  • emperor.fool: true
  • ruff_hi: what does BUFF stand for again?
  • emperor.fool: BUFF?
  • Denniz: I kind of like the idea of a big surprise.
  • emperor.fool: ya me too
  • Denniz: sorry, BULL
  • emperor.fool: that's why I haven't said anything about adding MapFinder since I think people will like that a lot
  • ruff_hi: bet the standard response is ... "About time!"
  • ruff_hi: pity we didn't do this leading up to April 1
  • emperor.fool: lol
  • Denniz:
  • emperor.fool: how often are HOF releases now? every few months?
  • ruff_hi: BUFF = ?
  • emperor.fool: he meant BULL
  • ruff_hi: beyond the ... oh
  • emperor.fool: unless we can think of a meaning for BUFFY
  • ruff_hi: well - we need a name for BUG+BULL+HOF anyway
  • ruff_hi: why not BUFFY
<snip of some other discussed stuff ...>

  • alerum68: alright gentlemen, what about a good name?
  • ruff_hi: Denniz suggested BUFFY
  • emperor.fool: that was me, and it was a joke
  • ruff_hi: spoilsport!
  • emperor.fool: based on denniz's typo of BUFF for BULL
  • Denniz: did not. BUFF by accident.
  • Denniz: We could call it that and drive people crazy trying to figure out the acronym
  • emperor.fool: hehe
  • alerum68: Why make it an acronym?
  • ruff_hi: the B is a call back to BUG
  • emperor.fool: we don't have to at all
  • Denniz: If we don't they will
  • emperor.fool: UGLY: Unaltered Gameplay Loves You!
  • alerum68: Do like ubuntu... we'll start this one named two words, the second word starting with A.
  • thealanh: call it "feature". It's not just a BUG
  • emperor.fool: lol
  • ruff_hi: hmm - buffy the vampire slayer ... buffy the hall of fame creator ...
  • alerum68: hehehehehe
  • emperor.fool: INJABIAF
  • ruff_hi: 'we've come to suck your blood ...'

  • ruff_hi: meaning stupid
  • emperor.fool: that means fart here
  • emperor.fool: same in AUS?
  • ruff_hi: nope
  • ruff_hi: strangly, that is not one of the 10,000 words we have for fart
  • emperor.fool: rofl
  • ruff_hi: gees - lets run a poll in our subforum
  • ruff_hi: but ... I am voting for BUFFY just so you know
  • emperor.fool: but then it won't be ready for the unveiling of the secret?
  • ruff_hi: right - I bet the name is settled before this mod has gone thru testing
  • thealanh: buffy works for me
  • emperor.fool: true
  • emperor.fool: ya I like Buffy too
  • emperor.fool: something that people will be able to spell
  • Denniz: I don't mind. But one of you have to explain it. and leave my name out of it.
  • emperor.fool: and only 4 results searching for it in forum, so very little clashing
  • thealanh: why explain it? give them a prize for working out the best reason for it
  • emperor.fool: ya, we can run a contest for that: explain the name
  • ruff_hi: or 'guess the real reason behind the name'
  • Denniz: Then pick the strangest as the winner
