Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 12684	Posted - 2014.01.28 05:52:00 - [1] - Quote Because to be honest Mercenary is something age old and pre-existing before us. Eve Players get called Captains (though by nature of ship command) Capsuleer (by trade and lore is the name) Empyrean (by the Amarr) Among those most common titles they do have a large number of derivatives and cultural references but for the game's context these are the only three used. Enter Dust 514. While we are soldiers of fortune, we're absolutely no different from an eve pilot on that aspect, they too get paid for their immortal services as do we. I purpose we be named things more tangible usable and something not as confusing. Operators - This covers a wide variety of play styles, and who is to say that dropsuits are not the only thing we suit up in? What if our MTACs are like living coffins similar to the warhammer dreadnought and starcraft dragoons. Operators are a type of highly specialized soldier but the name has yet to be widely used in eve lore on a significant level. An operator can perform such a large variety of roles on and off the field that it would not be in lore violation of being a mercenary. Elysians and for the matching lore name calling from the Amarrians (from Geek Elysion pedion "Elysian field," where heroes and the virtuous live after death, from a pre-Gk. word of unknown origin) We been delivered from the clutches of death, and by Amarrian thinking delivered from the jaws of damnation and into a path of salvation. So your thoughts? CPM 0 Secretary Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior, Annoying Artist \\= Advanced Caldari Assault // Unlocked

Jadek Menaheim Xer Cloud Consortium 1857	Posted - 2014.01.28 06:02:00 - [3] - Quote Nephilim may be a fitting choice. wiki wrote: The Nephilim /-ên+¢f+¿-îl+¬m/ were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" according to Genesis 6:4; and giants who inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors. The Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon gives the meaning of Nephilim as "giants."[1] Many suggested interpretations are based on the assumption that the word is a derivative of Hebrew verbal root n-ph-l "fall." Robert Baker Girdlestone [2] argued the word comes from the Hiphil causative stem, implying that the Nephilim are to be perceived as "those that cause others to fall down." Adam Clarke took it as passive, "fallen," "apostates." Ronald Hendel states that it is a passive form "ones who have fallen," equivalent grammatically to paqid "one who is appointed" (i.e. overseer), asir, "one who is bound," (i.e. prisoner) etc.[3][4] According to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, the basic etymology of the word Nephilim is "dub[ious]," and various suggested interpretations are "all very precarious."[5] The majority of ancient biblical versions, including the Septuagint, Theodotion, Latin Vulgate, Samaritan Targum, Targum Onkelos and Targum Neofiti, interpret the word to mean "giants."[6] Symmachus translates it as "the violent ones"[7][8][9] and Aquila's translation has been interpreted to mean either "the fallen ones"[7] or "the ones falling [upon their enemies]."[9][10] McDonell Miller Explains the Dust Challenge Lottery Protocol

Could you take that seriously calling mercs that? We are clone scum, accept it. Sub human seems more fitting, upgrade our clones natural survivability and I believe we'd be worthy of a cooler name. Something to do with data transfer seems more appropriate seen as our consciousness lives on regardless getting endlessly transferred from onre clone to the next. Our bodies are temporary whether we like it or not as clones. Necromancer would be more appropriate, but iv just taken the name from a classic book that influenced hacking cultures greatly and inspired the matrix. Level 2 forum warrior.

We fight in the dust, so that's why we are dusters. Clone soldier/trooper is the other name I use often for a more official term. Then there's the dust bunny, which is more a derogatory name as you said already. And then there's the infomorph, a person whose self is only defined by the information its brain carries, which could be a common name for both EVE and DUST players. I have also heard the name operative being thrown about. It sounds like a too broad of a term for me, but it could work. Elysian also sounds good to me.

We can walk to our deaths and we do not even blink.... we throw ourselves at the same problems time and time again. We can be counted on to fight, to make a stand, to behave exactly how those who do not fear death would, to become jaded, cynical, and arrogant.... But a man who fears for his life is given unto acts of divine inspiration, to make leaps of faith where impossibilities stretch out in all directions. No one truly appreciates the value of what we lost in becoming these immortal soldiers, and it will be that same lost aspect of our selves that is our undoing.

And second, I believe that 'having a barney' comes from one of the london dialects, possibly cockney, in which case saying its English is just as correct as saying it' British. Finally, having been born and raised in the North West of England, calling me a 'Germanic scmbag' is totally inaccurate.

Sole Fenychs Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 109	Posted - 2014.01.28 11:30:00 - [93] - Quote "Players" or "PCs" Because that's what players are known for - sociopathic murderhobos with an attitude of extreme metagaming. And what is better metagaming than being immortal? An alternative possibility would be murderhobo. Mercs are so homeless that they don't even keep their bodies. Technically, we could also be called "spirit warriors". Because that's what we are - Intangible spirits that inhabit host bodies. The term would be too dignified, though. In the same vein, there would be stuff like "gods of death". But that is easily approaching weeaboo territory. "Poltergeist" might be funny. A less dignified term might be "bodysnatchers". We technically don't steal our cloned bodies, but I could imagine a common person to use that term because they hate us. I would even imagine business partners to use that, because we don't really care about such trivial things. It would also depend on perspective. How would capsuleers call us? Meatbags? We are using similar tech, but they control huge starships with it while we control living bodies. Edit: I have a general fluff question. What are mercs earning their ISK for? Are they earning ISK because they simply love to fight and need all the nice equipment? Are they earning ISK for some functional purpose? What kind of purpose would require millions or billions of ISK? Isn't even a few thousand enough to settle for a lifetime? Can mercs even settle down? Can they just inhabit a body for the rest of their life and die a natural death?

You could ask the same question from billionaires who have money to throw everywhere. Some people have more money than they could ever realistically spend, and they still want more. Once you know the answer to that, you'll know the answer to your original question too. And yes, clone soldiers, just like capsuleers, can settle down on a clone and inhabit it for the rest of their days. Regardless of what some people claim, you can inhabit a clone that is just a copy of a normal person and live normally in it, however you wouldn't be able to use a dropsuit in that state most likely.

Obviously, I'm biased towards IWS OP idea of "Operators" (follow the leader, bishes! XD) but I consistently self-describe as an Independent Contractor, so I think something in that direction, like others suggest is more appropriate. Tie to our ground-based activities, like "Terra-Contractor", "Terra-Contract-Personnel (TCPs for short?)" or something more EVE lore appropriate to it and we'll be there. "Contractor" also gives us the flexibility moving forward to expand what we do, "Mercenary" has a distinct military connotation and should DUST expand as EVE has to include mutiple employment variations a title that roots too firmly into military action will dilute the distinguishment of other trades.

It probably exists in both the hosts brain and on a remote storage system, to prevent the consciousness from being destroyed if the implant becomes... broken. The brain and storage system are probably linked using quantum entanglement communications as to allow your consciousness to exist in two places at once, but still remain a single entity. Your memories are likely on the storage system, so they don't get lost in the case the brain is instantly destroyed.

Topher Mellen Scott-Mellen Corporation 37	Posted - 2014.02.07 18:45:00 - [225] - Quote Why not Effigy? From Wikipedia: "An effigy is a representation of a specific person in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional medium. The use of the term is normally restricted to certain contexts in a somewhat arbitrary way: recumbent effigies on tombs are so called, but standing statues of individuals, or busts, are usually not. Likenesses of religious figures in sculpture are not normally called effigies. Effigies are common elements of funerary art, especially as a recumbent effigy (in a lying position) in stone or metal placed on a tomb, or a less permanent "funeral effigy", placed on the coffin in a grand funeral, wearing real clothing. Figures, often caricature in style, that are damaged, destroyed or paraded in order to harm the person represented by magical means, or merely to mock or insult them or their memory are also called effigies. It is common to burn an effigy of a person ("burn in effigy") as an act of protest. The word comes, perhaps via French, from the Latin, meaning "representation", and originally was used in English in the plural onlyGÇöeven a single image was "the effigies of ...". The word occurs in Shakespeare's As You Like It of 1600 (II, vii, 193), though it first appears in 1539. "In effigie" was probably understood as a Latin phrase until the 18th century.[1]" Capsuleers are represented by their ships that they become one with. Dust mercenaries, or dare I say Effigies, are a literal physical representation of the human being they represent. May I also note, unless they are being burned or discarded, Effigies are meant to last the test of time, AKA immortal. Something to think about.
Damian Crisis Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 37	Posted - 2014.02.07 19:03:00 - [226] - Quote Jadek Menaheim wrote: Nephilim may be a fitting choice. wiki wrote: The Nephilim /-ên+¢f+¿-îl+¬m/ were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" according to Genesis 6:4; and giants who inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors. The Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon gives the meaning of Nephilim as "giants."[1] Many suggested interpretations are based on the assumption that the word is a derivative of Hebrew verbal root n-ph-l "fall." Robert Baker Girdlestone [2] argued the word comes from the Hiphil causative stem, implying that the Nephilim are to be perceived as "those that cause others to fall down." Adam Clarke took it as passive, "fallen," "apostates." Ronald Hendel states that it is a passive form "ones who have fallen," equivalent grammatically to paqid "one who is appointed" (i.e. overseer), asir, "one who is bound," (i.e. prisoner) etc.[3][4] According to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon, the basic etymology of the word Nephilim is "dub[ious]," and various suggested interpretations are "all very precarious."[5] The majority of ancient biblical versions, including the Septuagint, Theodotion, Latin Vulgate, Samaritan Targum, Targum Onkelos and Targum Neofiti, interpret the word to mean "giants."[6] Symmachus translates it as "the violent ones"[7][8][9] and Aquila's translation has been interpreted to mean either "the fallen ones"[7] or "the ones falling [upon their enemies]."[9][10] DUDE YES!!!!!!!! THATS AWESOME!!!!! They should definitely call DUST players Nephilims!! Then 10 years from now when we're able to ride space ships.. the motto could be, "The Nephilims got their wings back" O_O okay.. I know wasn't great but come on!

"Suits" evokes an image of dudes sitting around in their corporate offices, playing golf and deciding which people will starve over the winter. Or maybe MIBs, if you are really stretching it.

Would be a definite distinction for infantry such as ourselves but I also believe it rolls off the tongue quite well, especially when speaking of Capsuleers as well. Cadavers? Kinda morbid but fitting in the EVE Universe. We don't have much of a good reputation anyway so it could probably fit. I also think it's ironic since you'll NEVER find a dead mercenary due to the mechanism that turns us into dust upon death and the fact that dying is pretty much a part of the job. Edit: We're also pretty dead on the "inside" so it kinda works well with that. DOUBLE EDIT: If not those, what about Minute Men? I'm not sure if it's licensed or not but I do know it would suit is pretty well. It takes Dust mercenaries less than a minute to get fitted and drop down on a battlefield. Bumping my idea. Don't know if it's in the right direction or not, so I want feedback. We need a name and I'm definitely up for assisting in making one.

I think that besides being relevant to our drop suits as someone stated earlier if DUST allows for non-combat roles to be performed it can encompass that quite nicely. I like Duster and Dust Bunny as casual terms but I couldn't imagine anyone bragging to their mates that they're a Dust Bunny. "Don't worry guys, I'm a Dust Bunny!" I'm not in the know about the EVE universe but I think each race having a different name to describe a Duster is a good idea only if there's also a common name among all races. That's more for marketing reasons than anything else. Not to mention besides trying to come up with one name, we can argue about four names! Let the battle begin.

Eve Players get called Captains (though by nature of ship command) Capsuleer (by trade and lore is the name and it is what they have done before cloning immortal tech was added to the pods) Empyrean (by the Amarr) Among those most common titles they do have a large number of derivatives and cultural references but for the game's context these are the only three used. Enter Dust 514. While we are soldiers of fortune, we're absolutely no different from an eve pilot on that aspect, they too get paid for their immortal services as do we. Yet eve pilots get branded all sorts of titles including mercenaries which is also a fairly common title to others of our nature but not in such an immortal way. I purpose we be named things more tangible usable and something not as confusing. Operators/Operatives(also Agent is implied as well as an alternative reference for using these words) - This covers a wide variety of play styles, and who is to say that dropsuits are not the only thing we suit up in? What if our MTACs are like living coffins similar to the warhammer dreadnought and starcraft dragoons. Operators are a type of highly specialized soldier but the name has yet to be widely used in eve lore on a significant level. An operator can perform such a large variety of roles on and off the field that it would not be in lore violation of being a mercenary. Its easily used in conversation as well in forms of reference and addressing. 'Operator' I need you to clear out this base of the infestation. A group of Operators have held up this building creating a hostage crisis. I need an Operative action against these pirates. Operator (name), are you ready for your mission As for the definition of such word has multiple sources and definitions to the likening; To work shrewdly, a genetic code that regulates activity, A scientific term dealing with quantum mechanics positioning and momentum. Which all oddly fit us better; we're modified clones genes would likely had to be reregulated, we do work in a rather shrewd manner, and our implants are quantum entangled based. Elysians and for the matching lore name calling from the Amarrians (from Geek Elysion pedion "Elysian field," where heroes and the virtuous live after death, from a pre-Gk. word of unknown origin) Everyone knows that all immortal soldiers have to commit willing suicide to transfer over. We been delivered from the clutches of death, and by Amarrian thinking delivered from the jaws of damnation and into a path of salvation. So your thoughts? Adium onto the conversation I have realized a few more importantly critical requirements for the suggestions from you guys. The term has to be able to be used in regular conversation which is probably going to make a lot of cool sounding names just completely drop off because they're far too awkward to use Im already refereed to as Praetorian or Templar In EVE Amarr fw Channels by those who know my faith Is absolute....

We should call Dust Mercenaries, Legionnaires. It works perfectly, imo. Legion means, "a large group of armed men," "multitude," "military unit," and then some. Legionnaire, itself, means a member of a military force or association. Being that each mercenary has a "legion" of clones at their disposal, it works well as a title. It's also smooth in speech.

Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1641	Posted - 2014.04.10 19:30:00 - [352] - Quote Better yet. Deathnaut. Why not Deathnaut? Edit: or Exnaut which is short for Existence Naut, which would mean like Existence Voyager/Adventurer. Fits well because one does go into the ins and outs of existence as a mercenary.

Jadd Hatchen The Phoenix Federation 478	Posted - 2014.04.10 20:39:00 - [357] - Quote Ok seeing as this got resurrected again... I amend my suggestion of gropo to be Drop Mercs.... Why? Because players are forgetting the very important link to space that we come from, hence why the armor we wear is called a DROPsuit. We are dropped from orbit into the toughest combat situations known to man. Hell the intro video for the game even shows an example of this! The ships we pilot are called DROPships, because we DROP from them. etc... Mercs because we fight for pay and don't have to work for only one side of factional warfare. The EVE markets (and there are many of them) need to be opened up for us to use as well. As mercenaries we live or die based upon the quality and utility of the gear we use. We fund that by pay and salvage, but without a market to buy and sell our services and gear we become stagnant and worthless. HEAR ME CCP! Without the market, DROP MERCS become worthless! Get with it and combine the games already!

Intergalactic Invaders Planet hoppers In the moment when I understand my enemy, well enough to defeat him, I also love him. And then I destroy him.
