Just one question, what does "Avara" mean?

What does "Avara" mean? I mean, the things you drive aren't called Avaras, they are called HECTORs. What does Avara have to do with the game? Just a cool name?

P.S. What does "HECTOR" stand for?

RTFM!

Avara means wide open spaces, in I believe Finnish, although I could be wrong.

Hostile Environment Combat and Transport Operations Remote unit, affectionately known as the H.E.C.T.O.R.

What's so bad with 1075 posts? I'm just trying to breath a tiny gust of life into otherwise dull forums. If you want me to leave, fine, I will.

------------------

No, I didn't mean anything bad. I was just pointing out your massive number of posts. Keep on, eventually you will catch up to the current year 🙂

Um, Avatara, how can you post so much? I've been here longer than you and you have over twice the amount of posts I have!

Lets see...uh...I post daily in:

Ares's Officer Club
Ares Trash Talk

Avara (only if there is something to post about, without making pointless posts)

Cythera

Coldstone

(Censored)

with EV B&B; and Just Chat occasionally.

I think that would clear things up...

Nope, I accidentially slipped up and mentioned it, but its in no way related to Ares or Cythera. I'm not giving it away and if you want to know, that's up to the Avara moderators.

With war there is great amounts of death. Men and women make themselves known, doing dangerous feats in their attempt to become heroes.
Some succeed, some don't...

It's not a secret.

The War Room is a place for moderators to discuss anything with other moderators. That's all - nothing more - nothing less.

Just stopping by... and I though the Cythera board was low-traffic! You only have four pages of posts!

I am, in fact, a registered Avara user. I had quite a bit of fun with it a while back.
One of my real-life freinds plays it still, I think.
It's a shame to see the old guy dying :frown:
I was surprised to find out that Avara had done so poorly. It deserved better.

I'll just put a random number at 0008EC and see what happens.
