Name a Worm; Win Worms Reloaded

[MyNameDidntFit]

Alright. So, being the great guy I am, I bought a four pack of Worms Reloaded (http://store.steampowered.com/app/22600/) -- one copy for myself, one copy for my faithful co-op companion Archangel, one copy for Jason because it's actually a trojan horse filled with crocodiles, and one copy... well... one copy for the person who gives me the best name for a worm.

It's simple. Each person who wants to can give me up to three names for worms -- they can be serious, funny or downright ridiculous -- and I'll basically think to myself "hey, I like that one best" and that person will get my remaining copy of Worms Reloaded.

Yes, this is an incredibly bias 'competition'. But, frankly my dears, I don't give a damn :D




Now, go forth and name worms!

[Archangel]

If I name a worm, do I get two copies?

I think you and I both know all the names we could conceive for our worms, though.

[MyNameDidntFit]

I... don't think anyone wants it... except Konnie... but he already has it...

[Konrad]

I think it might not be too late to get my money back for the pre-order. >_>

[Archangel]

Thule.

Or Gabriel.

That worm would destroy everyone.

Earl - (As in the Early worm (eaten by the early bird))

Phalices - In addition to being a fun bit of word play with "fallacies" which has a nice dark feel to it, and being sort of greek warrior sounding, this name toys with the whole phalic notion of a bunch of boys playing with little pink inchworms.

Michael - Who has 20,007 votes for the lano kid competition. And is a total Badass.

No SRSLY i need worms reloaded, thanks.

[Archangel]

Ooh, Jim!

After Earthworm Jim.

[MyNameDidntFit]

Ooh, someone who doesn't already have it. I was beginning to think I'd have to keep it D:

I'll give it until... Monday? Yes, Monday is reasonable. Probably Monday night. And then I'll decide -- right now it's looking good for you, Mr. Britton, a real one-horse-race... in the literal sense... :/

[OwenBritton]

wewt.

one-worm-race?

[Konrad]

I had nothing to do with any of this.

[Archangel]

I still think Earthworm Jim is worthy of me getting a second copy.

[CemeteryGates]

1. Ostrobonogototh
2. Quetzalcoatl
3. Count Grishnackh

[MyNameDidntFit]

Ah, bollocks. Now I actually have to think about who wins >.>

[MyNameDidntFit]

So, it's midday on Tuesday... but that's close enough to Monday night by my watch.


It was actually a tough decision but in the end...

*drum roll*

I went with...

*drum roll*

CemetaryGates for Ostrobonogototh.

Initially, I was thinking Mr. Britton for Phalices, but every time I looked at the names, Ostrobonogototh grew on me and I found myself snickering at it for a reason I can't quite put my finger on.

CG, I've added you to my Steam friends (surprisingly, I'm MyNameDidntFit) and I'll gift it to you once you accept.


Condolences to the... er... single runner-up? Ah, heck, well played Mr. Britton, but bad luck.

[Archangel]

I still like Earthworm Jim.

Just sayin'.

[Steph]

Congrats Cemetery, they were definitely good names haha.

[Konrad]

Woop! Woop! See you in game fella.

[CemeteryGates]

Accepted. :)
Thank you MNDF for your generosity. :D

[Jason]

Yeah, give me a shout if you want a game at any point. (Preferably before you become any good at it - it appears that time has not been kind to my Worms skills.)

[MyNameDidntFit]

Time has not been kind to anyone's Worms skills... just take the examples of Konnie and myself...

[Jason]

I had a game against three CPU teams last night. With my first shot, I spotted an enemy worm perched on top of some scenery right next to a barrel and a mine.

The wind was blowing full strength in his direction, so I remembered back to the crazy bazooka shots of my youth, and aimed directly up, planning on letting the wind take it towards him.

Unfortunately, I gave it fractionally too much juice, and watched in horror as the shot arced just over his head and veered viciously to the left, gaining speed.
It hit one of my other worms full in the face, sending him flying out across the map and into the water off the left hand side of the screen.
Worse still, the scattering of other nearby worms set off a couple of mines, one of which... yes, you guessed it, exploded close enough to one of my remaining worms to send him sliding over the edge and into watery oblivion.

So, my first move in the match resulted in the death of two of my own worms. :upset:

[MyNameDidntFit]

I will likely be up 'til all hours of the morning tonight, so if you see me -- Steam me, or something.

[Jack]

I can't believe I missed this! I am so broke lately and really want this game! I'm so angry with my inactive self!
