astropapi1 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Where the hell do people get those names? Are our space people called "humanaughts"? I've seen people naming them Kerbalnaughts, kerbonauts, kerbanaghts... Just call them Kerbals, for god's sake. And the K syndrome, ohmygodwhy.gif .Why do you think Kerbals name everything with a K?! There's only one (official) planet that starts with a K, and all their other stuff seems pretty normal to me. Or do us humans drive our hars to a hast hood hestaurant and huy a handwich? Just look at the thread about kerbal currency, it's a disaster because of the K syndrome./rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSwordsman Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 FWIW, I simply call them Kerbals, and if you look carefully in the loading screen, it says "adding K to every word" so it's not an unjustified expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xacktar Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Are our space people called "humanaughts"? We do call the people who travel to space Astronauts and Cosmonauts. Both Astro and Cosmo meaning heavenly body. Kerbol is the star of their world so it is not unreasonable for Kerbonauts to be what they call their astronauts.Why the K thing?Because one of the loading messages in the game says 'Adding K to every word'Plus its fun.

Commissioner Tadpole Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah, it's pretty annoying when other people suggest for Kerbal economy to be Kash or Kredits(nobody cares about my Centiplees ), but otherwise it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyRender Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I too get sick of K Syndrome. It shows remarkable lack of creativity to just interchange the first letter or two of a word with K and say it's the Kerbal equivalent. Easily communicates the idea, perhaps, but also cheapens the mythos by suggesting that Kerbals are just shorter versions of humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 You forgot Kardiff and Kookamunga.The possibilities are endless. I thought of Chikago after I posted, where they argue about whether it's spelled ketchup or katsup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
