GO NAME THEM! :D
this month we have the bear contest, located at http://www.tsl-game.com/contest/ (http://www.tsl-game.com/contest/) we have a lubly bear family and we need once again the creative help from our smart fans, we need you to come up with the most uber cool kick ass supah amazing names for the, whoever who gets to win obviously will get to name our lubly bear family in the game AND... a surprise ;D
go ahead and participate now! ;-D due the the sucess of phrase contest we do know this will be a piece of cake for you all :D, you all have exactly a month to participate and submit all your creativity to our way!
I've got great names for them all, except the baby. It's keeping me from submitting. I just can't find the perfect name.
By the way, is it a male baby or a female baby?
male baby
I want to give you a hint here...
These are not regular bears...
They are WEREBEARS (Remember KQ7?)
;)
So, should the names not be normal ones?
Ah, hell, I'll submit lots of different kinds of names.
well, it doesn't really make a difference, but I wanted to let you know :D
So, should they be names like Frank, or like Stone Biter?
hey, that's up to you ;)
We'll pick what we like :D
Okay, so I will submit many different types of names, you can be sure of that. :D
Oops heheh I sent the same submission twice by accident ;] hope thats not a probelm ;P
Okay, I actually have a serious question. *gasp!* :o
So, does the winner(s) get selected for having the best names for ALL the family, or will there be a winner for each family member?
I ask mainly because all the names I submitted blow, except for baby.
Somtimz Im so smrt I evun amaze miself. XB
(Yes, I even had to re-edit the post to ensure I had a question mark in there.)
Names will be picked individually, not as a pack.
That also reminds me, I have a not so serious question to ask:
Why do the bears look so ticked off?! I could have named them all "Surly Bear" and it would have been fine. :D

See...but that's a reason to be happy.
It's like, "Hey..I'm human most of the time...it's all good."
And then it's like, if someone makes you mad, you could hulk up on them and turn into a werebear and lay the smack down.
It's all win-win, man...
hmmm... just curious about the form. Why is there a field 'Location'?? are you going to do something with that? ...if so, ....what? ; )
YAY ;D, another contest ;B, glad the last one was such a success ;)
BTW my favourite type of animal is Bears ;D, but unfortunately im not good at naming things :-\, but ill have a go XD
Well, I've added my names to the contest. One of them, I thought was SO cute (of a name)...I felt so smart! I hope mine's creative, but there are so many creative people on this board, that I'm sure it will be a tough choice.
*whisper* Cesar, do you like brownies? I make some amazing ones...or how about hot fudge brownie with ice cream? :P
Cat
I've submitted a bunch, with names ranging from the first thing that pops into my head, from KQ9 team members. :D

It's more for PR-related research, so that we have a general idea of where our fans are in the world. ;D
I haven't recorded them all formally yet, but most are from USA and Canada (wooo go Ontario go! XD), but we also get quite a few applicants from places in Europe, Australia, The Netherlands ;) and Norway. I've even seen a few submissions from Argentina and Singapore! !!!
ok thanks for the information ; )
....so there are submittions from the Netherlands.... intresting ; )

I don't know about brownies... but I do know that if you can make killer cheesecake, you'll have the contest in the bag. ;) :D
Anyhoo. The contest. Time to dig into my bag of strange and obscure references that nobody's ever heard of and come up with some stuff. ;D
Peace & Luv, Liz
hahah Im glad you liked the contest :D
I find this one actually kind of cute ;P
Racx, you weren't the only Australian and Brrr wasn't the only Dutch. ;D There were probably a lot of other places as well, but I have no time to look through them all. ;D

I agree, and it seems like a lot more people are participating too! !!!
Well, I've got a few ideas in mind... I just was wondering if I could ask the gender of all the perspective bears, just to make sure.
Peace & Luv, Liz
As far as I can tell, Sister Bear and Mama Bear are the females, the other three are male. ;D
Quote from: Jeysie on March 30, 2004, 04:12:43 PM
Well, I sent in one set of names! :) Are we allowed to submit more than one set? If so, I might think up a second set, with a different approach. If not, I'll just sit back and wait. ;)
I'm pretty sure it says we're allowed to send in as many sets as we so desire.
How are prizes going to work since names are picked individually?
I would suggest that the prizes be of somewhat equal value, and then distributed randomly.

(checks) You know, you're right. (whimper) I'm just going to be over here hiding in this corner wondering why my brain left me...

Correct, since there could possibly be multiple winners, they would each receive the same prize. :)
I also just updated the contest page, indicating that names will be judged individually. :)

Anyone from my area? ???
I sent my first set in yesterday ;D, i had troubles naming the brother and baby :-\
oh yeah, please submit as many as you want, and as many times as you consider.
Ill try to submit again ;D
Hahah this is a cool contest, I thought the momma bear looked like a right b**** but also a seductive kinda bear too so I named her according to that :D I didn't realise you could enter more than once so Ill do some more.

HAHAHAHHA WTF?! XD ;D
Well, I just went through all the Phrase contest ppl and it turns out 67% were from USA and 13% from Canada! :P Excluding Brr, there were 2 others from The Netherlands and excluding Racx there was 1 other from Australia. Oh yeah, sorry Storm but in this contest, the closest person to your area was someone from Germany. ::)
Quote from: Yonkey on April 02, 2004, 05:00:12 PMOh yeah, sorry Storm but in this contest, the closest person to your area was someone from Germany. ::)
Maybe next time ;-D
lol, yes you did....
so.... back to topic ; ) ...hahaha, i kinda like the faces of the bears, they look so cheerful ; )
....serious, i think brother bear is the best of all!!... so what are the names you gave him? (oops not allowed to ask, please don't anwser ; )
you will find out next month ;), when i have won or lost :-\
.... so if you win you'll post your entry? ...wouldn't that be against contest rules?
*decides to name the bears Larry, Curly, and Moe*
;D
Oh dear this could get ugly... ;-D. Is anybody going to name these bears after the Spice Girls or the Beatles?
NOTE: I like both groups don't get me wrong but I'm not sure Ringo is the name of bear...
Quote from: B'rrr on April 07, 2004, 06:48:19 AM

They will eventually post the results like the phrase competition ;B
hmmm.... but not the one that wins.... they keep it a secret (and you'll find out in the game i guess)
I wouldnt like any spoiler here so if you do want me to consider your names dont spoil them around here :P thnx
im sorry Say ;D, please forgive me *puppy dog eyes*
but of course :)
YAY! I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN !!!
Sorry Say, I hope my “suggestions†didn’t spoil any of fun… ;]
I hope everybody thinks of great creative names!
I have already submitted three so i wont torture the staff with anymore of mine ;B
The Bear Contest is now officially closed. :) Thanks to everyone that submitted. We will be announcing the winners soon. 8)
are the runner-ups posted here?? just like the other contest?
good suggestion, anyhow I will announce winners (possible the runner ups too) here when the directors cast their votes, thanks :)
*Note to directors from J-Roc:
VOTE, DANG NABBIT! I'm getting antsy pantsy over here!
Thank you,
<3 James
James,
The jury is still in "deliberations"... give them time, you don't want them to make their choices to quickly do you. All in good time my dear friend... ;)
Dear KQIX Team:
Whaaa!
:D
I'm sad no one named the Baby Bear "whaaaaa". :'(
;D
I think my name for the baby was awesome. :D So messed. :P
A question, which may have already been answered, but I'm gonna ask it anyway:
When the winners are announced, are the winning names going to be announced? Like the phrase contest, where it's an easter egg, will we just have to wait and play the game to see the names?
Jeeest curious. TY! <3
...I thought they want to do the same for the bear contest, perhaps post the runner-ups and notify the winner, but don't announce the winning names publibly.... so you are right... we need to play the game ;-D
Edit: I found something that explains it all ; )

Although it only says that the "Winner" will be announced, it still leaves it open as to whether the bear names will be posted or not.
OR, that was deliberately left out and I'm just being an idiot. :D

thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know. :)
*pokes the directors*
VOTE!! I BEG OF YOU!!! The suspense is killing me!!
yeah dont worry, I decided Im going to start sending death threats into some emails this weekend :P ...
ehhhmmm... Say, those directors do have their use... so please be gentil with them if they do not comply ; )
excuse me, and what am I ?
they still have obligations anyways, unless you dont want me to do more contest anyways?, its very easy to understimate the work provided in PR/Web sometimes, and somehow Im used to it, anyhow, no matter what its happening like it or not, as long as I exist on this team it is my job, sorry.
you are:
Saydmell Salazar
Co-Director PR / Web Team
Unofficial King's Quest IX Development Team
...and besides that a lot more ; )
And Say you are also Rob's Luber ;D
lmao, about the first title Im 100% positive I am, about the second one Im not so sure...
... you should use your creativity on the new contest ya know?! :P (aka on something productive :P)
I'm going to do my duty as a member of this forum and help get us back on topic...sooo, bears?? ;B
Cat
oehhh!! you are good!! ...but the contest is already over ; ) ...a new contest has begun, speaking of which... have you posted your pic already?? ; )
errmm..isn't there a seperate topic for discussion about the new contest? Maybe this topic should be more about the bear contest, you know, like the team members could start the discussion back up by announcing the winners, stuff like that ;D

ohhh... nice try ; ) ...hahaha i'm sure they will anounce the winners when they are finished with voting and such ; )
LMAO!!
I'm looking through the Bear Contest entries - you guys are HILARIOUS!! These are so funny!! ;B ;B ;B
Less laughing, more voting. :D
It's kind of funny how different people named certain bears the exact same name! :D
Great minds think alike? 8)
so how is it going?? ..i mean you had 800 entries, didn't you? ...is it limited somehow (ie. by voting or so)?
btw those 800 are those for all the bears? (so it would be like 160 for each bear... or would it mean 800 for each bear)?
It's going great! We're still in the voting process. There were 156 entries, so actually 780 names in total. !!!
How many have you narrowed it down to?
well if they are still voting i guess they have to wait till everyone has voted... or are there multiple voting sessions (ie. pre-selection and stuff)
Quotewell if they are still voting i guess they have to wait till everyone has voted... or are there multiple voting sessions (ie. pre-selection and stuff)
Well perhaps I'm revealing state secrets here, but I don't thinks it's so complicated as to have electoral votes or anything... ;)
:o :o :o :o!! do I hear the FBI/CIA/KQ9-mob/wha'ever comming your way?? ;-D
I think a lot of emphasis is being put on this thread to enter in the new contest, which I think is great, but this is not the place to do it. I, for example, am really interested in the bear contest and the results, but not the new contest. Every time I check back to this topic, it seems as though I am bombarded with advertisements to enter in the new contest, which I am not so interested in. I'm just making the request that this topic sticks to the bear contest and the new contest is discussed in its respective thread. Sorry if it seems like I'm being too picky ;)
hmmm, perhaps you have noticed that, since you left, there has been talked about the bear contest. ...we just need to wait for a while till the winner will be anounced...
but i can see your point ;-D
Don't get me wrong, I can see that theres not relaly much to discuss, but it just seems liek this has switched from the bear contest thread to the SIGN UP FOR THE NEW CONTEST NOW! thread ;)

easy to say to the one that didnt put together all the info to begin with and wont be actually doing the final count on voting either <3
the complex is not actually the system anyways, its to actually do all the explicit said -and- have all directors casts votes, now that's the fun part.
anyways, whatever... hang in there :P, they're coming!
dya wanna talk about the actual contest itself, or bears such as winnie the pooh?
just talk about the bear contest ; ) ...I really like brother bear, he looks totally kwel with that insane expression!! ; )
Quoteeasy to say to the one that didnt put together all the info to begin with and wont be actually doing the final count on voting either
Sorry Say, all I was pointing out (and being a smart @#!* at the same time) that it's really no big deal. Of course anything takes time, I appreciate your hard work! <3
I can't wait for the results, will be interesting to see if any of my names make it. ;)
Plus I want to see all the great names that didn't quite make it. ;)
I can't wait either, but I guess we will have to wait ;-D
*waits*
hahahha, anyway, I rather wait then to hurry ppl cuz I want them to pic the coolest names and don't rush it ;-D
i cant even remember half of the names i chose :o :suffer:
I remember most of the names I chose...now just waiting to see how it goes!
Cat
mine were just stupid :-\ :suffer:
I named one after a KQ9 team-member. XD
I used a set of gratuitously obscure sci-fi and fantasy references. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
lol, is it already time to spoil bits from the names we submitted??
*shuts up* ;-D
I can't remember most of the names I submitted... I only submitted one set, and it was all rubbish :-[
They are carefully selecting because there were so many good submissions. ;)
and because everyone is uber busy ; \ ..o well, perhaps we will know at the next big update ;-D
Yeah there are so many replies and they are trying to scan through them as quick as they can ;D, but they must take there time because they wanna get the good ones ;)
I could have made it real easy:
You want the good ones, just pick mine. :D
lol, that is really easy, yes ; ) ..or mine, or... ;-D
I truly apologize for the delay on this, I am currently absent of my main duties on kq9 because real life always takes over, my partner at company somehow needs my extreme care and commitment right now, he always puts up with everything on his own but now is a different case, I just can't be here to push things, as you can see it is taking time, the votes have already been casted that I can tell you but I believe Cesar and Neil are focused on coordination at the moment there is massively important asap work to do which I believe you all can understand, it is not because we've forgot, its because sincerely time is priceless, it will be up any moment soon, Im really sorry for the delay, it's going to be up as soon as possible.
Congratulations to all of the winners! Thank you for sharing your imaginations with us, we appreciate it! <3 <3 <3
Congrats liamharvester and the rest of the winners (whoever you guys are)!! :D
Now, what about that runner-up names list? ;)
I agree. Ya'll talked about how great some of the names were...and if we got just a sampling of it...gives us something more to look forward to in the game..."You mean some people came up with better names than these?!?!?!?" *angel face*
Cat
Congratulations everyone !!!
BTW i named all the bears after beer in one of my submissions ;D
Beer? Wow, and I thought *my* references were lame. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
LOL!
There is a bit of lame in us all ;D :suffer:
I'll be posting the runner ups soon. There are a lot of good ones, so I'm still deciding. XD
I hope one of my beer names made it in :P :suffer:
Congratz everyone (ie. the winners ; )!!
I named Brother Bear: César. ;) He looks just like him! XD No offense intended, César's awesome! :)
The Bear Contest runner ups have now been posted on the KQ9 Contest (http://www.tsl-game.com/contest/) page. 8)
Whoo hoo! One of mine made it as a runner-up! Congrats to EVERYONE...winners and runners up!
Cat
Hee, someone named Brother Bear "Harrison". (No, it wasn't me!) :D
Peace & Luv, Liz
I am not sure if any of those are mine :-\
I wasn't sure if we could tell which ones are ours...can we?
If so...Baby Bear being named Ewok...if not, :-\.
Cat
WOOOOO I got two or maybe three runners up (in addition to winning sister bear ;D). I named the baby bear Theodocious "Teddy," the mama bear Clawdia, and the father bear Griswold. I'm not sure whether "Grizzwald" is my runner up because of the spelling difference.
nice names for the runner ups makes me wonder what the final names are ;-D
You guys are free to say which are yours. Only liam can't reveal his winning name.
There were even more runner-ups, but I decided to keep it to the top 50. ;D
congrats liam ;)
You'd probably be surprised how many similar spellings or same names we got for some of them! Phew. That's a lot of names to go through, believe me!
But congrats to all our winners! :D

No worries there, even I don't know which name was chosen XD.
I only submitted once and I got three runner ups! :D
My favorite from myself was for the baby, though:
Francis Xavier Rodriguez the Third
:D
