Who is the mysterious "Paul E. Counter" ?

CheeseOnToast

I was playing a bit of the Quake Wars beta on Splash Damage's server last night, when someone joined with the name "Paul E. Counter". Instinctively, I typed "Mop?" in the chat/all channel, at which point the enigmatic stranger left..... Had I foiled his secret identity? Or was it a bluff? Step forward, Sir, and reveal yourself!

A filler bot.

Yeah, i was wondering who was behind the idea of that name too

MoP

Hehe, you found my subtle nod... it is indeed a bot name
Could have probably snuck a PolyBot in too, ah well.

Good job MoP! I was trying to get the same thing going on our last project, but the name generator was split up into first and last name. So getting it to line up was really rare.
I did however get one name in that was a commonly occurring joke/theme around the office during the development. But is in no way suitable for children (target audience for the title was 8 - 12).
Will definitely try and get Greentooth in somewhere on the next project.

Oh come on surely you can tell us the name? only about 20% of polycount falls within the 8-12 target demographic.

I try and do at least 1 pcount egg if possible. They're harmless.

Basically, one of the level builders was saying something random so I called him a 'Jizz Mopper'. In case you aren't familiar with the term, its the person that cleans the jizz off the nudie booth glass after a dude blows his load at a peepshow.
Well... As the days progressed, the word began to infiltrate the office until one of our Producers started using it. But I was threatened with a potential official written warning for office misconduct so it was truncated to just plain J-Mop. This seemed to be more acceptable.
An e-mail went around asking for name suggestions for enemies or if we wanted our nicknames to go into the game as enemies. My office nickname is Bambi so legals shot that one down. So the only name I could think of was J-Mop.
So to make it less obvious I re-arranged the lettering to spell Jaimopp. That passed without question.
Also the last time I played through (over a month ago) there was a bunch of mushroom props that were arranged strangely to take on the form of a penis.
Gold build is soon so I will take screens if it still exists :P

my pic in the paper a few weeks back I got a wee greentooth pic in on my second monitor

I also had my web address but since it was red writing and they desaturated it, you couldnt read it

somebody's gonna think all these greentooths appearing everywhere point to a demon cult somwhere. we are the new freemasons.
