[Equestrian Earth] Game Masters are now to be called Code Warriors. · 6:08am Jan 4th, 2014
Or the slang term in this game, Coders.
I'm making the changes in the story now as you're reading this. It's probably done already.
I didn't really like the term 'Game Master' cause it didn't really represent what these hacker hunters and glitch fixers are all about, and kinda made them sound more like villains in my mind.
Also, the Rainbow mini arc is going to stay as a Five Parter. Expect it by tomorrow morning.
After that, I can finally make the much-needed revisions to the earlier chapters!
EDIT: Code Warriors also have higher ups as well.
I think I'll call them Code Moderators or Code Masters.
~ Code Warrior
~ C.W.
~ C. Warrior
~ Warrior
~ Coder
~ Code Monkey (an insult used against Coders)

Meh.
Code Warriors also have bosses as well.
I think I'll call them Code Moderators or Code Masters.
Good news. And remember Chaotic... We will be watching.
1680490
I know, i know.
Code Masters, Code Warriors... Yet not one person mentioned Code Monkeys.
1680522
Oh flying lol!
1680545
Yesh. That actually sounds like a derogative term. I can see hackers and cheaters using these to refer to Coders.
You forgot the Code Breakers!
What? Don't you people have rogue codes that try to take over the world? Sheesh.
How would Code Monkey's be an insult? That show was awesome.
1680556
Dude... C. Warriors. I think you are already in that clan bud.
Yea..Game Master sounds a little too much like Captain N. Code warriors..sounds a bit silly.. why not Code Knights and Code Lords?
1680809
There will be such titles, but the general term is Code Warriors.
1680629
It was a show?
1680626
Interesting concept...
1680596
Wow. I didn't realize. Still sticking with the term though.
1680920
It was an awesome show. I miss it so much. If you have Netflix I say check it out. Especially if you enjoy old-school game jokes, making fun of that era jokes (the actual 80's not 8-bit gaming but there's plenty of jokes about that stuff), and arn't easily offended.
did the Lyoko Wariors influence your desison?
also,why can't they just IP ban hackers from far away?

Virtual Reality programming in Equestria works differently from regular programming because of the inclusion of magic into the mix. It'll be explained later in an Intermission chapter probably.
1681443 oh. Wait, didn't you also mention that the NPCs are killable and don't respawn?
And that they actually have lives?
So they are trapped inside.
1681477 NPC's have lives. Now I'm reminded of a rant from a boss in an online game.
1681665 oh, and you can kill them.
And unlike the players, they don't respawn.
That's kind of dark, don't you think?
1681689 Very. I know it's kinda like a "You kill someone they don't come back" real life experience that many games go for nowadays but they should at least respawn every now and then. Otherwise all we need is that one person who goes around killing NPC's and then the game experience becomes ruined for a large amount of people.
1681703
Yeah I guess it should probably go like that.
A vast pool of characters for each and every NPC role, and when they die, they switch to another NPC, so there's thousands of NPC models stored in the game. That's a lot of work for the artists.
I like "Code Master" reminds me of the Code Masters from reboot just less Hired Killers and more system error repair and hacker termination.
1681777 still has that fridge horror to it when you realise that killing an NPC is like murder but without serious consequences.
1681949
Yeah. Although there are Guard NPCs as well, and they're no pushovers (they will match the Level of whoever they're fighting).
1682031 I think they should be 10 levels higher than who they're fighting. Same level then it's all dependent on how well you can exploit their weakness.

:P
Just pointing out no matter how hard you try there are no original names for game moderators anymore.
So......a coding version of the Cosmic Warriors? OKAY!
Well JK, but that IS a silly coincidence if I may say.
Eh. I don't necessarily agree. I'm a little out of touch with the context, but I guess it depends how they're manipulating the game. If it's upper level without touching code GM makes more sense. Otherwise, well...
1682320
Oh wow. I remember watching the show of that.
That was great.
1682054
True. Maybe 10 Levels higher.

I haven't decided that yet. Not sure if I wanna include Code Moderators who abuse their powers, but it'll be interesting.
