figure out a name for my ELB win a prize (in Contests)


WeaponX May 30 2005 9:03 PM EDT

the prize is A Compound Bow [5x31] (+13) 695,844

not much else to say. i like final fantasy and LoTR.

BrandonLP May 30 2005 9:06 PM EDT

Final Fantasy covers a lot of ground, but you can't beat VI. I'd have to go with Atma Weapon. If it were a sword, I'd say Ragnarok or Masamune.

WeaponX May 30 2005 9:08 PM EDT

its Ultima weapon btw

Jason Bourne May 30 2005 9:09 PM EDT

Heartseeker
CloudStrike
Bow of Elrond
ShadowCast bow
The one Bow to rule them all :D
Legolas' Home Project

i might think of some more later...
bah, i hate it that i can never remember how to turn the spell checker off, its annoying and worthless. all it makes us do is pad the stupid text with meaningless phrases like this so as to make the fraction of misspelled words decrease. its stupid. i wish there was a button to ignore the spell checker, now there's an idea.

Exeter ( Irvine's strongest weapon from FF8 )

BrandonLP May 30 2005 9:14 PM EDT

What's Ultima Weapon? If you're trying to correct me, you missed where I mentioned it was from FFVI. That's where you fight Atma Weapon on the floating continent and then pick Atma Weapon the sword which grows in power as you do.

Ragnarok
I used that name for the first 5 years of online gaming. It served me well. It also sounds pretty cool, although all of FF games are based on mythology.

BrandonLP May 30 2005 10:01 PM EDT

My bad, in the first question my second response, I meant it more in the sense of "are you telling me Atma weapon is wrong?"

Undertow May 30 2005 10:02 PM EDT

Yeah dude, Atma > Ultima. Your both showing your age. But I know where your comming from Brandon. Your right, can't beat VI, sprites pwn. Did YOU save Shadow? This was the age BEFORE goofey hair, and every plot having to do with amnesia. I'd go with: Finger of Death Touch of Grace Angelic impaler Impaler of Angels Demonic Pact Hells Suffering Hates Fury Sniper Rifle Peace Maker El Cid Black Knight 2000 (also a GREAT pinball game) I could go on and on and on.

And so have a few thousand other people. :)

LumpBot May 30 2005 10:03 PM EDT

If you're lazy MegamanV, Ragnarok is the norse mythology for the apocalypse so it would fit an ELBow quite nicely =D

Undertow May 30 2005 10:05 PM EDT

Okay, I but a after each of my lines. I forgot, isn't not CR, it's BR. Someone want to help?

BrandonLP May 30 2005 10:06 PM EDT

Save Shadow?! Was there any other option for one of the most kickin' characters of all time? Heck yeah I saved him! Crowning achievement was beating the game in 6:17 though.

Undertow May 30 2005 10:08 PM EDT

Did YOU save Shadow?

This was the age BEFORE goofey hair, and every plot having to do with amnesia.

I'd go with:
Finger of Death
Touch of Grace
Angelic impaler
Impaler of Angels
Demonic Pact
Hells Suffering
Hates Fury
Sniper Rifle
Peace Maker
El Cid
Black Knight 2000 (also a GREAT pinball game)

I could go on and on and on.

- "bow before me" lol couldn't resist
- greasy elbow
- string-ed doom

or, if you've played DnD
(http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1179283&postcount=2)
- oathbow (Cuvesta in elven)
its a specific named weapon that whispers “Swift defeat to my enemies” in Elven when nocked and pulled.

just some ideas.

Xanthochroid May 30 2005 11:33 PM EDT

I read somewhere it was "Atma" because Ultima wouldn't fit. Also, I didn't save Shadow the first few times I played through the game - I didn't know you could. I found out on my own, leaving my guys sitting at the edge near the airship until he popped up. I was quite surprised. I also didn't know you could save Cid.

Anywhoo, in Final Fantasy II (I guess it's what, four in Japan?) there was a Samurai Bow, and I think an Artemis Bow. I think "Coin Toss" would be a cool name for a bow, being that's a recurring theme in FFIII/VI.

    Undertow May 31 2005 1:55 AM EDT

    You should. I meant Cid from the FF collection. But I have no idea where I got the "El" from.

    "Reaper's Bow" it gives it a name to be feared!

    TheEvolution May 31 2005 8:12 PM EDT

    YOU legoLOST...play on words..legolos..from lotr..lol any get it?

    Jason Bourne June 1 2005 9:13 PM EDT

    id name it after a projectile...something like
    A Fire Arrow, or Flaming Arrows, because then thats what you see. for example:

    Minion A was skewered by Flaming Arrows! [52089]

    or

    Minion A was shot by A Flaming Arrow! [43589]

    some other good names are:
    ice arrows
    poisoned needles
    Heartseeking arrows
    (minions name)'s sniper bow
    an arrow shooting sniper-rifle

    or something that describes the other opposing minions, for example:

    his wife
    his ego

    Minion A was shot by His Wife [34985]
    Minion A was skewered by His Ego [34498]

    just examples, something to play around with.
    good luck with your naming :D

    WeaponX June 2 2005 8:43 AM EDT

    WeaponX June 3 2005 4:00 PM EDT

    out of the choices given i happened to like that the best end of story

    BrandonLP June 3 2005 5:18 PM EDT

    It's kind of like selling an item. You may like the first offer, but you choose to wait it out and see if something better comes up.

    Kilobot571 June 3 2005 5:38 PM EDT

    okay
