Contest Challenge: Name the new SAP SCN Video Game !!!

[Former Member]

Suppose a select group of SCN developers (you know who I'm talking about) were to create an SAP SCN video game with the following very simple plot::

1) Dark Angels/Darth Vaders like me and aRS from the ABAP forum would point out where SAP has really missed the boat on something (if any of you have forgotten, aRS is the brilliant humorist who coined the memorable ABAP keywords "SHARED BUFFER SOMETIMES MAYBE".)

2) Jedi Knights like Rich Heilman and Thomas Jung would explain why the Dark Angels criticisms are invalid or unimportant.

3) The wise Mentats of SCN (yes I know I'm changing context from StarTrek to Dune here) like Uwe, Chris Solomon, and Thorsten Franz would decide who's right - the "sugar and spice and everything nice" Jedi Knights or the "puppy dogs' tails" DarkAngels.

4) The SCN's own Princess Leia ... no, we'd better not go there ...

Now think about it ...

There are supposedly over a 1M SCN'ers now, so even at a nominal yearly subscription fee, licenses to play this game could earn SCN a pretty penny, not to mention generating a never-before-seen interest in the finer points of SAP.

BUT - we need a catchy name.

So give it your best shot ... on your mark, get set, go .... !

if the role of Zaphod Beeblebrox is still open Id' want to apply for that.

I got the guide to everything.

Sorry, Anton, I'm afraid that may not work.

My assumption was that you would be one of the game's developers (along with Dan and Ed and the usual suspects.)

Under that assumption, you couldn't also become A Player.

That would be like Apollo competing in the Olympics.

Don't forget that if Anton has the guide to everything then he is also responsible for everything in a way...

Leaning out the window is much more than just calling it '42'...

Back to topic: How about "Binary Space Invadors"?

How about SAPCON1

I could be the wooki

i LIKE it, Arakish.

"DEFCON1" ... "SAPCON1" ...

Has a great ring to it!

But to keep the C/C++ crowd happy, wouldn't we need to have a parallel game called unSAPCON1?

I mean, if there's a DEFCON1, there should be an unDEFCON1, right?

And if there's an unDEFCON1, there should be an unSAPCON1 ...

I would name it a SAP cheerleading game. You see cheering a lot around here, it is about SAP, to lead and lead is their favorite word... This could work:)) Regards Otto

pls rwd pts.

That should also satisfy unix users, as it's the same level of terseness. (Write once, read never).

[Former Member]

I believe the exact term (I remember) used was "slightly shared memory".

How about "SDN Cluedo" as a name? As in: "it was David Halitsky, in the Coffee Corner, with a Chandelier"!?

Or "Debugging for one".

The rules should also state the Jedi Knights are not allowed to use the feared "open a connection to your system" weapon in the first round of a game...

Cheers,

Julius

That's just silly, JB.

Everyone knows it was Finnern, in the Damenumkleideraum, with the bottle of Trollinger.

OK - I'll prime the pump here with the first two that came to me:

1) "SAPSturm"

2) "Drang Nach Walldorf"

(this one's a little subtle - to get it, you have to think of Bill Gates as Hans Castorp in Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain")
