Well. I couldn't think of a good bot's name so I decided to flip though my massive dictionary on account of it's massive. I came across many a greek mythological name, but none to which appealed so as to "Hyperion", son of Gaia and Pluto or so something along the lines of that, it seems.

As for "tgfcoder", , it's a long story. Well, actually, not that long. It originated 2 years ago when I started my own little 'company' http://geocities.com/tgfcoder

tgfcoder is NEVER spelt:

-Tgfcoder
-tgf coder
-Tgf coder
OR:-
-TGFcoder.

You see, "tgfcoder" just has that knack to it. Oh yes, where were we. What it stands for. Unless it isn't obvious on my web-site, or for those who are too lazy to figure it out, it stands for "The Games Factory - coder".

There. Well said, too I must say myself. Sorry for the long post.

Shut up tgfcoder, just, just, shut up.

Corwin was just something that came into my head when I was sitting and trying to come up with a name. It wasn't something I picked for any special reason. I got it from the Lieutenant David Corwin, a background character in Babylon 5 that the writer named for Norman Corwin, an American writer that was a hero of his. I think it's also the name of a character from a Zelazny or Silverberg book from years back. It's bizarre though, cos it started without any real significance and I've since become very attached to it.

Critical Bill is the name of the Treat Williams character in Things to do in Denver When You're Dead. The bot isn't named because he shares any similar traits, but more on the idea that if he was a real person, one of his friends might have given him it as a nickname which stuck.

Romulus and Remus are from mythology, the legendary founders of Rome who were suckled by a wolf after being abandoned by their mother for fear her father would kill them. Romulus killed Remus after a dispute, which is where I get the bots' preoccupation with murder/survival from.

I assumed everybody knew that Sollunessen is the old capitol of Vel on the planet Raieh!

Check out the rest of the planet too...

All of the "wooly" brothers were just made up on the spur of the moment.

Ahh, I thought it was something to do with the German - 'sollen' meaning 'should, to ought to' and 'essen' meaning to eat. Reading too much into things again!

Now that you mention it, I am kinda hungry...

sorry isaacc

No prob, emm -- I enjoy being confused.

My name came from me liking eggrolls and my favorite bot hajji came from the cartoon johnny quest

My screen name? Well, it's my nom de plume...I'm a writer, don't you know, and all that jazz. Liked the name Charles, and I like ships, and ships have hatches that you close, and what all, so, Bang! Charles W. Hatchway. W is for William.

And me? Well, have you seen the Dead Poets Society? That's sort of a motto the teacher uses a lot but it's not new at all...in fact, it's Latin... Carpe Diem! Means "Seize the Day!" And my botmaster liked the motto and thought it would be a good name for an adventurous traveling bot, so there you have it.

And me? My name was unearthed from the deep recesses of my botmaster's memory, from a girl he used to know, a long time ago, long story...but he changed it a little, and then named me after her.
