    Today I read that they are adding name generation for mobs, which is pretty cool, but I also read a single comment that got me thinking. The comment mentioned that it would be fun to come up with your own names for mobs. So my idea is that there is a mob "database" for each player, and every new discovered mob can be named and described by each player, and players would be able to share descriptions and names on the mobs. Just a thought, vote if you think this sounds better than random name generation.

    *EDIT* Some people were confused about what I said so lemme clarify. The name database shows your name for each mob, and all of the players who "share" their database with yours get put on a separate section of the database so there will be no confusion of names. Some people were also worried about mean or crude names people would make, all I can say for that is you wont see them unless you share with somebody who has them, and yes, you would be able to remove people from your list of "shared" databases.

    *RAAAANNNDDDOOOOMMM SIDE NOTE* It would be awesome if the database came with a small interactive picture to show your discoveries, for all those who ever played pikmin, that would just be some random thing to entertain you.

    The problem is that I may have a Croclopus, and my friend has the same thing but its called a Zonkey, would cause too much confusion. If you find a way around that then great.

    I think this is a great idea
    The first mob I encounter will definitely be fagballs

    There would need to be some sort of moderation involved. There might be more people in Tessitura's position.

    Yep, we all know what happens we you give people the power to name beast (though not as bad as when you give them the power to name rivals).

    On a side not mine would be whatever the default is as I tend to be crap at thinking up good names for things.

    I was thinking you'd see whatever you named it, and everyone else would see what they named it.

    For all those confused about the name data-base, I was thinking that you could view any shared databases separate so nobody would get confused, also I laughed when I saw "fagballs" but I am not sure to as if you are employing sarcasm or not.

    Yeah, that's probably for the best. Besides, I'm not good at naming things either.

    But giving things dumb names is fun! Also, I think another great idea would be being able to change entries as your database grows, and to me the database would just be another fun thing to add to exploration. P.S Thanks for responding to this random post :D
