I was rather saddened to see that such generic names were so popular... I wish people dared to be more unique these days...

Well DaddyHoggy wasn't on the "most popular" list - should I be offended!? :lol:

Amazingly distinct lack of imagination amongst some of the game's backers though!

I'm guilty of being unoriginal. I'm going to be Commander Drew Wagar. Just wanted to be sure no one else was going to be me!

Cheers,

Drew.

If it's approved, I'll be Commander Cody (which has been my in-game moniker for many years).

I've submitted 'Awesome Welles' as an NPC character and 'Griff' as my commander name, if that doesn't get accepted then it'll be a name made up of hidden Welsh swear words :lol:

I'll be Commander Selezen Lake. If I get it, which I don't have much doubt, really. :-)

First round of Commander name approvals has now completed. You can log on to the Backers Web App and see if your name has been approved.

Mine was disapproved, so I wish whoever grabbed it first all the best!

I'm pleased that I seem to be the first Raumpatrouille fan in the list. :D

So I'm going to be in my game, but we don't yet know whether you'll meet me in your game. :wink:

I'm still going to be boring Cdr Gimi. (Not much chance of anyone taking that one from me though)

Yay! Commander Selezen Lake coming to a universe near you. But not actually yours. Just NEAR yours.

My Commander JazHaz has been approved. Still got cogs against my NPC name though. Has anyone got theirs approved yet?
