Happy Gadders?...

Archive: 36 posts


So we're to be referred to as 'Happy Gadders' from now on our we - at least that's the term used in the LBP manual to describe anyone playing online in LBP. What do you guys think of that? Bit odd, or is it just me? ... Doesn't seem to fit with the world. It's like they felt they had to make up a new term but couldn't call us Sackboys and Sackgirls or any such derivation.2008-09-08 16:33:00

I don't think it is going to affect my life that badly.

I don't really mind what they put. Its not going to be something that lots of people are going to care about.

I've heard of Happy Gadders before. Seems odd, but it's cool with me, although you'll never hear me say those words irl.2008-09-08 19:55:00

Happy.....Gadders?

Are you serious?

If so, only one word can decribe that phrase:

W.T.F!

"Happy Gadders" will just be a term for the manual I suppose, or when the game's explaining something to you. I don't see anyone calling each other this... Everyone will use "players" or "users".

They probably put that in there as the game's also aimed towards a younger audience.

I thought this too. Why are people reacting like that towards one term.

It's not like its calling us goofy goobers or anything. (Sponebob FTW)

I think I got the answer

gad Audio Help /g?d/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[gad] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, gad?ded, gad?ding, noun
?verb (used without object)
1. to move restlessly or aimlessly from one place to another: to gad about.
?noun
2. the act of gadding.

In the game the basic point is to go restlessly from one place to another so we are happy while gadding I guess well there you go

Users are now going to be called Gadders and mods will be... SUPER GADDERS. [/jk]

Anyways, I kinda like this. It's gonna be fun the first few weeks of play calling everyone a gadder. XD

Come on guys, it's a good name.
1. It's very British sounding, so it shows the developer's personality
2. It's playful!
3. It's catchy
4. We're all actually going to be happy gadders when we play this game.

Interesting responses ... I'm still not sure but I do like to gad about the place - so maybe it'll improve with time ...
Pretty sure I'll never refer to another user as a Gadder though. Don't like getting slapped upside my head.

Get used to getting slapped. I guarantee that some people are gonna abuse the slap function to no end.
As for the name... it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe it's just me but, I'd rather be called a Happy Gadder than anyones 'sack'.

Just because Mm chose to refer to players as Happy Gadders, doesn't mean you have to too. I'm still gonna refer to other people online as ... well... other people online.
