So, seeing as no one's on AIM I can rant this too I guess I'll stick it here.

So, on sunday mornings I seem to, every now and then, load up CoH and fish for names I might use later (Got a name for one of my favourite villains in this way,) so I started slapping names down into the character screen, went through all manor of animals, traditional stuff like 'Sentry,' 'Triumph,' etc, and nothing.

So, I started putting in random words and thought 'I'll think of a concept later if I get any,' so anyway, I stick in the name 'Stop,' and it wasn't taken. Suddenly it hit me that if I got the name 'Go,' I could get someone else to play him and I could have something that's extremely rare in this game - a duo. I love duos and really don't think there are enough in this game. I only know of one and I'm in it (Champion & Confuse.)

So, I made a kick ass look for Stop - big ass tanker type deal with the hand symbol on his chest for extra effect. Clicked on one of my empty character slots, made a tiny little guy in the same costume except white and green instead of black and red, and then... Go was taken.

Ah, Requiem for a Dream. :(

Ok... so "Stop and Go" is an impossibility. How about "Stop and Stare"? :)

Taken, as are 'Drop' and 'Roll.'

'Duck' and 'Cover'?

'Lather', 'Rinse', 'Repeat'

Sorry just looking to help. :)

Ooooh Scratch and Sniff!

I can't believe you didn't think of this...

It's reserved on Virtue (I assume that's where you made Stop?) in my 2nd account. Let me know if you want it.

Haha, me and my friend have Left and Right, same costume but each part of it is a different color. :p

Burbs, I'm sorry, but Roxanne stopped putting on the Redlight costume awhile ago. (Around 1978 or so, I believe.)

Heh, I had concept characters named Stop and Go a good looooooooooong time ago before the game was released. But then again, I killed off Go so the names didn't make sense anymore.

Someone try and get Pop and Lock.

You see where I'm going with this.

Well, if you're not against advertising there's always "Stop and Shop".

Which, now that I think about it, may have been a local ripoff of "Stop and Go", as the latter is already a convenience store name. :D

Actually Stop and Shop is a grocery store chain in the Northeast :)
