Apparently I forgot to PTW this, and mostly forgot it existed. So PTW.
And Dreadful Bore, of course. Shamelessly stolen from a similar pun in Dishonored 2.

The Turning Point, Rock Bottom, Landslide Victory, Have a Gneiss Day. This stuff writes itself.

Either way, whatever name we think of should still sound ok when shortened, cause that always inevitably happens (everybody just called the ship 'the Sword' after all, nobody got time to type out the full thing). Though just calling it 'the Bore' most of the time would certainly be very convenient.

Not really. We might be confused as to whether the machine, or certain ... ahem .... long winded fellow ... is being talked about.

Anyway, the Fools' Errand is probably the most poetically accurate name for it. A more accurate physical name might be: Half-Assed Giant Drilling Machine Built By Amateurs.

Or, how about The Broken Bit

Names suggested so far:

Dreadful Bore
ADVENTURE DRILL
Underground Stone Bore
The Turning Point
Rock Bottom
Landslide Victory
Have a Gneiss Day
Piece of Schist
Whirling Drillvish
Ore-o-bore-os
Fools' Errand
Half-Assed Giant Drilling Machine Built By Amateurs
The Broken Bit

Great Boring Hunk

Egan, you might want to post your sheet with your action. I think pw rolls with a 0 bonus if you don't.

[Egan_BW]

Oh look, another unstated rule! Great.

[Ozarck]

It was mentioned for Oro, but not for this game. I don't know if it matters for thisgame. Oro was much more finicky though.

On that note, if five or so others are still interested in Oro, with it's awkward mechanics and everything, I would totally keep playing it. Literally building a character is ... well, it appeals to me.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

So is DIG replacing Oro as the next big game?

[Ozarck]

Well, it was posted in the ER subforum instead of RTD, after the play testing for Oro faltered, so probably.

[syvarris]

I'm still interested in Oro, because I love the core concept of it.  Plus, excessively complex systems don't scare me.

Doc, I'm pretty sure Dig is replacing Oro as the next game test, but going on its system, structure, and setup, I highly doubt it's the next big thing.  We're prolly just gonna get NuER at this point.

[Devastator]

Hmm.

The digger could be 'The Twisted Spine'

[Egan_BW]

In honor of Mesk, eh?

[Parisbre56]

Vessels in English are female, so we could go with a girl's name. Maybe "Big Alice", because we'll be going down a pretty big rabbit hole. And the crawler could be "Rabbitchaser" or "Jabberwocky", going with the same theme.

Should we make wiki for this right from the beginning? This smells like it will be big, considering large number of players can waffle around on the Bore.

Personally I was gonna wait until we've been at it for at least a month or so before bringing it up, in case PW still decides that this test wasn't satisfactory and switches to something else. That said, if this does take off and replace ER in scale, a new wiki would certainly be helpful. Then the question remains to either keep working with the ER wiki (keeps things more centralized, but could be messy/conflicting), make a new wiki on the same platform (which I personally like, though it does have some downsides) or switch to a whole 'nother thing.

Not really. We might be confused as to whether the machine, or certain ... ahem .... long winded fellow ... is being talked about.

But Ozarck, with all of our sparkling personalities and deep profoundness, how could that ever come to pass?

Either way, I think my vote would go to Dreadful Bore, at least until something better comes up. Or ADVENTURE DRILL, though I think I'll keep that as a personal moniker for the thing either way.

[Egan_BW]

Do something other than Wikia this time, because fuck Wikia.
