I'm a fan of "silly" race names. I don't know why... maybe in hopes my opponents won't take me seriously. Razz

What are the silliest race names you've seen or used?

I've been the Flatuloids, the Village Idiots, the Stooges, and (now) the Stink Bugs in Stone Age Slaughter 1.

Greetings,

How about an AR monster called the Dockies, who named his ships strange names, like for example he named his bombers "Duck Dropings" or something of the like, as he imagined the poor people below screaming "LOOK OUT FOR THE DUCK DROPINGS!!!" or something of the sort. Then there was the Pigs in SPACE!.... well that one was done by EDog, and of course the Tribbles (based off of the never ending flow of Tribbles from a Star Trek episode).

Just my 2c,
Stalwart

Fake Superheroes, run by Hyena; ships names- Squatting Mammoth is the only one I recall.

I ran a slow AR called the Fightin' Orcs in hopes that I could intimidate my way to safety. When four IT's and a WM decided to gang up on me in the 20's I realized that it wasn't such a great idea.

Blitz games are common places to find silly race names. I've been the Baka, the Damn Yankees, and the Dead Meat, among others.

I usually call my first bomber design Poopy Head...after that I have to think about it.

I'm currently duelling against Dan Cunningham (along with half of the rest of the people on the Forum, apparently), using a relatively new favorite of mine, the Fungus Amongus...

Looking through my old racefiles, I find such gems as the Bizzies, the Nice Doggies, the Homies and the Hoopies, the Screaming Joes, Them!, the Vwlss (Vowel-less, and a pain to be diplomatic with), and the Yeasts (awww...poor yeasts, which is an inside joke to anyone who bought the other copy of Globbo from Steve Jackson Games). Most of my races tend to be named whatever sounds good. I often come up with odd names for ships if the race itself has a weird name (Furious Pigeon is a favorite bomber of mine).

I think EDog was listening to Incubus when he came up with Fungus Amongus.
