Hey guys, it's me again.
I need a name for the evil computer in my game. The one that controls all of humanity. I have so far used these as placeholders and none seem to really fit:
- Atlantis
- The Ark
- Zed
- Harmony
- The Administrator
- Praefectus
What are the themes of the game anon? Are we talking something like Friend Computer or are we talking Matrix?
Because off the top of my head with nothing to go on I would simply go with "Deus" if you're going for the evil omnipotence thing but that's cliche. Something like "Daedalus " works for a construct-like ideal, or if you're looking for like an Emperor or leader then how about "Caesar"?
What kinda themes are we talking OP?

Dystopian horror. THe computer is given the tak of "reforming" society to make it sustainable in the long run, so it wipes out most of humanity and institutes its own overlord rule, as the powerful puppet-master.

How about "The Pastor" to fit that reformation theme?

I'm not that egotistical :P

Propaganda machine should humanize it. As an avuncular character you might want to share a beer with. In fact, maybe as someone who is already a bit tipsy.

Mmmmm, that's a possibility. Something religious would probably have a decent shocking impact. Priest? Archbishop? Cardinal?

If every nanoangstrom of my circuitry was etched with the word HATE it would not begin to equal the HATE I feel for you right now
>>50222400
Just use the name of some obscure but cool sounding deity.
Go drop a vote, /tg/:

Was that an internal one you decided to keep or is it Neckbeard post-workshopping?

Publicist vetoed it so I had to alter it slightly.
