Title: Longest/Craziest officer name
Post by: sublight on October 24, 2011, 09:41:35 AM: I started a new game where one scientist's name was so long you couldn't read it all from the research tab.

"Antigonos of Magnesia on the Siphylum"

I can't decide it that's the coolest or stupidest name I've every seen... Possibly both.

Post by: Dutchling on October 24, 2011, 11:26:52 AM: I think Antigonos is a dude who lives in a fancy town called Magnesia which happens to be build next to the river of Siphylum.

Post by: Vynadan on October 25, 2011, 06:35:34 PM: I always look fondly at my officer list with Colonel Chiquita and Captain Tobacco.

But I can really recommend the Russian, Chinese, Japanese and many other commander themes. It's true that some themes are, uh, interesting, but there's just as many fitting ones.

Post by: Redshirt on July 20, 2012, 11:45:55 PM: Picked "Odd" for my custom race. My best scientist is named Slowghai. And he's anything but slow. For his great advances in defensive systems and cloaking, he was awarded with the title of Invisitor, and a cloak of obfuscation. Nobody sees him coming. It drives his lab assistants crazy.
