A Message From Marshall to the Citizens of Uber [Call to Arms!]

All hail the great Ant!!

Well now it's confusing.. I thought everyone wanted Ant.. but now it seems like 98% of people want the Potato.. hmmmm

I'll talk to folks see if we can get something set up to play for the name

I foresee a 3 way fight, Bolo vs. Ant vs Potato

Maybe we could do it puppetmaster style like the Able Gamers Tournament (speaking of, it would be cool to do another one of these this year) so that the community can support their champion. Probably not with real money, just give everyone 20 "tokens" or something, and what units can be spawned would need balancing, but would be fun as heck.

Have already had some preliminary discussions with a few people on this - expect something in the summer

Well to be honest.. i only counted the one post. so only the one person voted. and he was about 2% in doubt himself.

You should give Canadian opinion polling firms a lecture on statistical significance lol

It may not improve the quality but they would annoy us a lot less with their incessant phone calls.

... so no love for bob? ...

The name will finally be changed to ant and then 80% of the community will want BOLO back.

They'll need to find a new Hero Of The People though.

but they will be systematically ridiculed by the 20% until they believe the truth of the ant

DOWN WITH THE BOLO

NO ONE LIKES THE BOLO.

I LIKE THE BOLO.

Then I guess you're- no one? ;D

The only good Bolo is the one that kills the ghosts in Star Tropics

As the communities resident irish guy I step forward for team potato.

He's got the physique for it ^^
