quoudam72 Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 1 mongoose is worth 2 in the bush....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarduakar_187 Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hmm... Interesting. I really don't have an answer for that. What I want to know is why the say the mongoose can fire while its moving but when I try it, they stop to fire and get themselves killed.

exatreide Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 well you cant tell him to fire while movig but if you tell him to move he will fire on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordos45 Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Mongoose is the correct grammatical term I guess from reading the posts. But if u say Mongese people would guess as to what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_fox Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 You Americans (well, most of you are Americans) just don't know, do you? Plural of goose is geese. Plural of mongoose is mongooses (I know, it doesn't sound as good). I got this from the Oxford dictionary. I don't know what your Webster's dictionary says on the subject, and I don't care. We're discussing English (remember it?) after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 it says Mongooses?hhmmmmmneeds to be checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Yes but it would matter if this was a different meaning than the animal. And also, any non-americans think plural of money is moneys? Just want to know.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Who says moneys? The people who say moneys better watch out. Anyway, isn't the unit named after the animal? If not, what is it named after? The manual doesn't say what the plural of mongoose is in the game, so I think we'll stick to the dictionary rule on the animal (unless the Webster's dictionary says something different but I don't think it does).(Man, I feel quite stupid talking about plurals, but I just had to.)

Acriku Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 My history teacher from 8th grade was debating against his WHOLE class that the plural form of money is moneys. It was pretty funny. But anyway, I'm a duke! Weeeee. But what characteristic of the unit is like of the animal, other than being "Comparatively fast"? And who in WW comes up with these strange unit names? Minotaurus? LoL that's a goodie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 I think it might come from Dune II, they had a rank in it called Desert Mongoose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Hey Gob, you're almost 500. Aren't you thrilled? LoL maybe not, but I think it's pretty coo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 hhhhhmmmmmmmmI preffer names in HW:C ;D hehehe but thats just me...you know they just sit around and try to connect what the unit looks like to a name?A big fat ass thing like Mino looks like a Dino type thing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 If I cared I would have made my post count 999999etc a long time ago. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 LoL well that's a strange, yet funny reply Fives. And Gob, about the new board, when (if) you update the post #'s for members, what if they keep posting here and on the new one? Will you keep updating or just nothing at all? This confused me ol' noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 The new board will have everything deleted before I move things over, except maybe user accounts, and the post counts will be set to the same levels of this board. Right now the new board is just basically a test board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Ah! That makes sense! Thanks man, my head was hurting for a minute there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 What if you registered for your new account on the test board will you have to re-register when the move is complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Nope you might as well register on the new/test board now as I probably won't be deleting the member accounts, just the messages that have been posted there so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
