    Default The abbreviation is B*

    One of the developers visited the chatbox and, when referring to Blackstar he simply typed "B*". We know they have been working on it for a very long time, so this abbreviation has probably existed longer than PL. I think it's much better than BS, which has negative connotations for me. What do others think? Should we start calling it B* like the devs do?

    I think B* is a smart name for it...especially now that we call the sewers BS sometimes, could get confusing.

    Black star is abbreviated B* because the asterisk stands for "star", therefore creating "BlackStar". I think the Sewers can just stay the same, plus S* would stand for SewerStar

    B* is cool.

    I was using BS as it reminded me of that joke in Dumb and Dumber: "Yeah, we were planning on mating a Bulldog with ****zu: It would have created a Bullsh*t!

    ; )

    I'll edit my older posts on this later..

    Ah, yes, and I think that is exactly why it ISN'T abbreviated BS! LOL!

    There was once a Chevy called a Nova, and it was a good car in the days before Japanese car mods. It was loved by American teen boys who like to make cars loud and cool looking. So they took it to South America and tried to market it there. It didn't work! Nova is latin for "new". Who wouldn't want a new car, even an old can that was called new? Nope. In South America when you say "no va" in reference to a car it means "doesn't run" or "no go".*

    You have to be careful how you market things! So of course theydon't want to call BlackStar "BS", but Balefort Sewers is smelly and nasty and nobody seems to mind that being called BS, hahahahaha...

    * = snopes debunks this urban legend, but it still considered true by marketting people
