Post by: Stryke 9 on January 05, 2004, 07:17:44 pm: So... why exactly change from a name that, however vaguely cliche, at least makes sense to one that doesn't?

I mean, what is "novaspace" supposed to mean? Novas take up a lot of space, I guess, or someone who spoke corrupted Spanish as a first language could possibly interpret it as "new space"... and what's the "project" to do with it?

Post by: Taristin on January 05, 2004, 07:27:44 pm: Nova space

It doesn't go into space!!!

Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Solatar on January 05, 2004, 07:32:55 pm: no means no
va means go

spanish..

Same as the Nova car (can't remember who made it). They couldn't ship it to Spanish speaking companies because Nova means "no go" in spanish.

Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: icespeed on January 06, 2004, 06:45:02 am: why should you be flamed? names aren't meant to be particularly meaningful, are they?
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: FreeTerran on January 06, 2004, 06:59:36 am: i donno :doubt:
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: DragonClaw on January 06, 2004, 07:00:41 am: You know what would be considered comedy central? A place where FT and HIG talk with each other. I'd be suprised if they can understand each other much less make sense themselves. :shaking:

Names are supposed to be very meaningful. Like "I'm Gonna Kick Your Arse" as a campaign title would generally mean that some evil force will enter your domain and proceed to Kick Your Arse. Yes.

Post by: icespeed on January 06, 2004, 07:08:24 am: er, dc, that doesnt sound particularly distinguishing to me.

Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Ghostavo on January 06, 2004, 09:36:45 am: Nova means new in spanish and portuguese (that I know of)

And it's no va and not nova that "means" "no go" (it's not exactly that, but something more like "don't go", because in latin based languages the don't is just one word instead of two, if not always at least most of the time)

Nice render

P.S.
Diference between picture and render?
Is there any?
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: kasperl on January 06, 2004, 10:34:02 am: nova would be a female form. novus is the male (dictionary) form.
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Unknown Target on January 06, 2004, 11:32:59 am: Oh my God, people, it's just a semi-cliched name!

There's no Spanish meaning! :D

EDIT: Name-stealer! My campaign's name is Nova! :D I guess I'll have to change it, lol.
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Solatar on January 06, 2004, 04:35:59 pm: No, yours came first.:D
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Stryke 9 on January 06, 2004, 05:12:01 pm: Everything has a Spanish meaning.
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Nico on January 06, 2004, 05:59:04 pm: No, I don't think so. Everything definitively has no spanish meaning.

...

What? That wasn't THAT lame, come on!

What is? I'm going to save you from shame here. If you think I misspelled "misspell", then you are the ultimate retard of our generation.
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Taristin on January 07, 2004, 06:21:07 pm: Your generation... :lol:
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Knight Templar on January 07, 2004, 09:06:45 pm: No, not misspell, just the general hypocratic undertones... of your generation of course. ;)
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: icespeed on January 08, 2004, 08:44:33 pm: 'hypocratic' referring to 'hippocratic' or 'hypocritic'? (i'm not even sure the latter actually exists...)
Title: DOTA renamed Project Novaspace
Post by: Knight Templar on January 08, 2004, 09:00:27 pm: Oh, it exists. I should know as I made it up. It would be most aken to your 'hippocratic' however.

:D
