It sounds a bit meh OSGH.
Nowell => Novell
Its actually pronounced more like if you say there is no well in this village, but then people decide to pronounce the E so it sounds like noel and that xmas song.

I sort of think any one word name would have lobby or client appended to it automatically regardless of wether its an official part of the name, and that we shouldnt end up focusing on taking the word lobby and appending random accronyms around it to generate ideas.

Afterall, we all know spring is referring to a game engine when we talk on here, you don't see people posting "what do the seasons have to do with this?" or "I don't want to ehar about your rusty spring collection"

I rather like the word Hub.

Ideas:
An Lobby
SpringHub
sPringHub
SlestHub
GlingHub
SlestingHub
GlingestHub
AFHub
Tribulex
GamePort

Also, why must the name have the word Lobby in it? Lobby is a rather ugly english word, and people should have something attractive and sexy in their mouth when they say the name of your lobby. However you take that, I do not care, but my point is that I vote against the word Lobbey.

Starter? It sounds better than lobby...
How about a better word like initiation, ignition, commencement, embarkation, conflagration, or eruption?

Universal Commencement (too long)
Sprignition
Tribulexation
Global Conflagration
Conflagration Commencementation

No mentions of spring glest or AF in any proposals. If they where allowed I might as well have stayed with AFLobby lol

I'm liking ignition rush and hub so far ^_^

btw if you can point me to details on how to implement support for those engines?

AF! You took me seriously! YESH! Okay mate, you be looking here: http://www.wz2100.net/. That is the important one. If there was an actual lobby for that game, millions of people would play it. Globulation is just a lulz game, but worth getting because it is an interesting concept.

How could no one like Glignition?

Ive had a look around their website and so far I've not figured out any details about any way to interface with the engine at all or anything network related that wouldn't require me to learn the codebase and hack in lobby support myself, which is out of the question. Your going to have to point me to more details here as to how the warzone 2100 engine would be supported from a technical standpoint.

Wow, they have a main server? I would research this further, but.... I will be playing warzone for a few months... decades... bye Spring...

I will look at this for real. Maybe it is not a dumb joke, but a serious way to ressurect a brilliant game design.

IM 9000 KILOMETERS FROM YOUR BASE, RAINING DOWN THE FURY OF ARCHANGEL MISSILE BATTERIES ON YOUR DUDES, AND TRACING YOUR ARTILLERY SHOTS WITH CB RADAR!!!!!

It is truly amazing how little it takes to make me incredibly happy.
