Retronym for player-controlled sacks?

Archive: 7 posts

I assume all you geeks are familiar with retronyms. Now that we have sackbots, what do we call player controlled sackboys, when we refer to the sackboy and not the player, as in, "I want to modify player-one's sackguy",
for instance.

I don't want to say player-one's sackguy, or player-character. Or Player-bot. Or p-sack. Or maybe I do.
Sackatar? Avabot? I can't figure it out.
What do you guys think?		2011-01-10 17:18:00

Hmmm, given the choice between:


Player 1's sackbot

and the inevitable:


Avabot 1

What's a Avabot??

Well it's a sackbot that's controlled by player one

Well why would you call it a "Avabot" then??

I dunno, me and a couple of other guys just made up a name for it to save on typing a few characters here and there and then assumed that everyone else in the world would automatically understand what we meant. We thought it sounded like a cool and funky name and it would save us time and effort, whilst being concise and explicit..

glad that worked out well for ya.....

What was the question again?


It's a tough call IMO....		2011-01-10 17:53:00
