Warp Hunter Names II
So where in the selection process are we? Many guildies have voiced their particular preferences, spouses have espoused their selections, and children have eaten Buttered Cinnamon-Raisin Bagel with Cheese Sandwiches.
My son is nuts, but that’s another blog.
But anyway, we do have some finalists!
Beowulf
Kitty - late entry permitted
Norbert
Smaug
Warpy
Many voted for Spyro, but as it means little to me, I shall release it into the nether so another hunter who really likes it (cough! Lassirra) may select it and not feel kinda cheated.
The Committee is well aware that long character names are always shorted. Luineannon becomes Lui, Glitlock becomes Glitty, Hipnatizd becomes Hip, you know what I’m saying. Nobody will care that you selected Dungorumgh because your family came from a long line of Scottish nobility; you shall be Dung. It is because of this cruel twist of human nature that so many names were rejected by the Committee.
Agnamemnon - Aggy
Ancalagon - Calgon
Apalala - Apy
Deuteronomy - Deuty
Gorynych - Gorny
Pokemon - Pokie
Smushface - Smushy
Y Ddraig Goch - Cox
However, there is a winner! WooT! The public dissemination of the warp hunter’s nom de guerre - there’s yer French, Harf - shall coincide with… something, I don’t quite know what. But it should be kinda big. Bigger than small, at least.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Hehehehehehehehehe >:)
I’m so totally using Spyro when I ding 63 (or is it 64?) and go snag myself one.
(And of course, there will be credit where credit is due for the name.)

I know it’s late, and all, but my warpy is named Bamf. The name really works, and I get compliments on his name as often as I get on his appearance.
(if anyone doesn’t ‘get it’, research nightstalker, the x-man)
Looking forward to 64, so I can get one with good specs.
-Opalia, Emerald dream server, alliance FTW!

Remember, do not tame a Warp Stalker. Only tame the Warp Hunter. It will change its name to Warp Stalker when you tame it, though.
” ‘Bamf’ in the Marvel Universe relates to the X-Men character Nightcrawler and the resulting sound he makes when he transports himself. The sound is caused by air rushing into the area where Nightcrawler’s body once was.” So sayeth Wikipedia, so let it be done.
Great name! Just perfect.

The Nightcrawler reference was not what immediately came to mind when I read ‘Bamf’ (although, that reference is extremely appropriate for the critter).
I immediately thought of Dane Cook, and his reference to “BAMF”–Bad Ass Mother F–ker. (Which, frankly, I think is also a great reference for these critters, lol.)
And Damh: I’ll keep that in mind, lol. I was killed by a few Warp Hunters just this morning, actually, when I was running through places I should not have been, rofl. So… I know right where to find them, lol.
