The Mana World Forums

For a to be released training quest I'm looking for some playful insults. The idea is that the drill sergeant calls you names when doing the quest.
Currently I only have these boring and unoriginal insults:

• "Hey noob!"
• "Hey somethingwholooklikeawarrior..."
• "Sup' chibi." (I had to look this one up myself, apparently chibi is a japanese nickname for small and weak people)

So I'm calling you, the community for help! Put your writing hat on and start calling me names!

or could just check youtube and see some real drill sergeants ....
mummy boy.. hey noodle..... be a man not a whyner .....

Something like Sgt. Hartmana?

Hey toams,

as I was thinking of referencing the Insult Fighting from Monkey Island 1 somewhere in the new game, but I have not really an idea how-to, I think we may use some of those here. Perhaps someone will even realize where they originate. So, here are some that may be used:

- You fight like a Dairy Farmer!
- Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?
- I've heard you are a contemptible sneak.
- You have the manners of a beggar.
- Only once I have seen such a coward.
- I hope you have a boat ready for a quick escape.
- I usually see people like you passed-out on the tavern floor.
- You're as repulsive as a monkey in a negligee.
- You're the ugliest monster ever created.
- Would you like to be buried, or cremated?

Perhaps one or more of this can be used.

Players might use the insult / constructive critiques of baits in the form of the various stages of levels of mobs. This allows having quick descriptors of player/s abilities and can be used as insult, or positive criticism of ability.

For example a warrior that's Fallen bait might encourage a struggling newbie who is obviously Maggot bait by calling them Moggun bait. A player struggling might then comprehend the higher level warrior is in effect cheering them on, suggesting they're doing good work. Whereas if a warrior calls someone Piou bait it might be rather insulting if they're of the level of Fallen bait.

This kind of "scaling" system of criticism can be used positively, or negatively. It's also rather generic so as to not be totally offensive, abusive. It is a system revolving around the mobs found in game so as to be familiar for players in game.

I mention it is not intended to be abusive though players need to know anything really can be turned to abuse. Intention is the key to all action, gestures. People can see you acting as a jerk for they can see your intent in the actions/ gestures.

Don't continually harangue other players with degrading lower level insults of them. Once or twice a day, or every few days is sufficient to be constructive encouragement / criticism. Go beyond that and you do start being abusive of others. Doing that I think might encourage GMs to offer you a kick, possible ban. Besides that consider the Golden Rule ( http://goldenrule.org/ ).

I enjoy coming up cogs in the wheels. It helps keep the wheels turning, if wheels turn there's possibility for forward moving. Then again someone might put it in reverse too. *chuckles* Excuse me, going to try stop Murphy.

These are some things I can imagine a NPC drill sergeant in The Mana World saying:

You gonna finish that quest or just bot all day?

You move like a town sitter!

A pinky got your tongue?

There are no free mouboo rides, go grind.

Were you brought up in a cave?

The yeti were passive, till they met me.

Daily quests sharpen the soul.

If you don't like it, you know how to log out.

I love the smell of slimes in the morning.

Most maggots don't impress me.

Equip em if you got em.

FUBAR: Welcome to basic bug tracking.

Candor: It Can Be Refreshing. It can be.

Arise and shine.

Not really an insult, but you might like it:

"Don't sell the Moggun fur before you've shot it." - Gwendolyn

You are no more than a soggy Pop Tart.

You look like methane smells.

I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.

You and your family are rejected Muppets.
