    don't worry i won't make that mistake. i don't care if the toon has zeta or not. vader is vader.

    I think it's dumb. But equally dumb--no, I take that back--even dumber is blaming it on a lazy generation. Portmanteaus have been around for centuries.

    ^This.

    I have been denoting zeta characters by a little "z" before their name. For example: zVader, zMaul. Takes me back to my formal logic classes.

    BOTH

    When does Zit Fisto get his zeta?

    Keep your Fisto out of my Zit, please. ;-)

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Zex yet.

    That has happened to omega abilities by now, which is really nice, although no one put 'o' in front of Vader for them

    People have been making up names for squads forever.. No biggie.. I *DO* wish they *AT LEAST* would use the proper names in the titles of posts in order to make searches more effective (.. and hopefully cut down on duplicate threads.)

    I guess the key word there is "wish" :/

    Maybe it would work better if it was a zish. The increased effect chance and reduced cooldown really make that zeta upgrade worth it.

    Does this forum software have ability to add keywords or tags?

    The nicknames does make me cringe pretty good. Zaul, Zader, Zobba, Zewie, Zives, Zarris, Zexx etc. I find it a little disrespectful to the actual characters, even if they are fictional. It also bugs me when I see GG, or GK or other nicknames as sometimes I have to think for a second on whom it is. It makes sense with Qui Gon Jin cause it's obvious who that is referring to the name can be easy to get wrong. GS, GK, GG etc are all too similar that it is easy to get confused. Just spell out the name. Most are straightforward.

    While laziness is likely, I will certainly admit laziness of not having to ask a person "Are you talking about Vader with or without a zeta?" If a person posts Zader, I avoid typing that follow up question. Their laziness compliments my laziness, I suppose.

    Or you can just say zeta vader but i don't expect you to understand

    My least favorite is Zoda, because it sounds like Soda and makes me thirsty.

    When can we expect the Gamma ability? I'd love a Gey, Gader, Gives, Goba, Gas(sian) squad! Talk about synergy!

    Z-Vader, Z-Maul, Z-Barris, Z-Yoda. Much better in my opinion.

    Until you have typed each of those ten times on a mobile device during an hour...?

    To be more precise, it should be Z-Darth Vader, Z-Darth Maul, Z-Bariss Offee and Z-Grand Master Yoda. Once you finish typing them, you forgot what you want to really write...

    I don't like it because I'm not twelve years old.

    I think it's just odd

    I don't remeber hearing about Zader, but I do remember a Vader

    Maybe the devs can replace all first letters with a Z: Znakin, Zoruscant Underworld Police, Zate Gunray, Zeneral Kenobi

    Not too hard I bet

    Edir: I know it stands for a character that has a zeta, but is zeta maul that time consuming to type?

    I love this post, those sound so stupid l hate seeing people say "Zader, Zaul, Zylo" bunch of animals

    It gets quite old to keep typing vader with zeta or zeta maul, not to mention zeta sidious, zeta finn plus others.

    This combined with a mobile device makes me use those myself occassionally even though it bothers me :)

    Just Type Vader Z, Finn Z, Maul Z, you ****

    I think we can all agree that ZRoRRuR'R'R or zURoRRuR'R'R needs to happen. Personally, I think we should go with zZZzZZzZ'Z'Z

    Also, anyone else remember the Zima commercials? Haha.
