Title: Mod Suggestion: Getting rid of "Infogrrrrl"
Post by: Green1 on May 31, 2013, 12:45:42 PM

There has been something bugging me.

I think the term "infogrrrl" for Roze sounds dumb.

Now, I have no problem with the faction philosophy. I think that with time and historical figures such as Julien Assange, Anonymous, and some techno-libertarian movements this faction is FAR more relevant than it was in 1999.

But... "infogrrrl"?

Is there any way to change the description of this world class leader to something more appropriate... like "The Anarchist"?

Sure.  Open up angels.txt.  On the first line after the one with the #, one of the sections says "The Infogrrrrl".  Change it to whatever you want, and it should be reflected in the game.

lol... angels.txt.

I feel really dumb now.

Well... it is done.

If I was Roze and someone called me an "infogrrrl" when I was in fact the leader of a MAJOR techo-anarchist faction that broke from Morgan, I would make sure all their network nodes running unpatched MorganNet OSes displayed goatse pictures.

Roze finds that sexist.

We do not forget.
We do not forgive.

YES...

If they ever have a SMAX remake, say for a Alpha Centauri Forever, they will have to use that.

Also, Roze needs to be more towards anarchism with hacking than just hacking. Then, most of the complaints about her not fitting in like the original seven will be resolved.

Yeah, in some ways the Free Drones' ability would work for her.

I'm not sure.  As an anarchist, she should have minor stability problems.

I meant the "people revolting favour turning to faction X" one

Maybe, but not really; revolts are by the lowest classes, whereas Roze appeals more to the highly educated.

But isn't that the point: Not fitting in?

If all the factions fit together and played nice, it would be Tiddly Winks In Space.

It is not "fitting in" as in playing nice. It is "fitting in" as in not having a unique ideology like the original 7.
