BUM or BLU?Follow

#1 Oct 03 2005 at 5:32 PM Rating: Decent
Lol, just an early post on semantics

Personally, I consider a BLU a hardcore dedicated mage to his/her name, and BUM as the ratty, unprepared n00b of the industry ^^;

Any thoughts?

BLU {Yes, please.}

It's anyone's guess, I suppose. They were called BLU in FFT:A, but they also called Paladins PALs, White Mages WHTs, Black Mages BLKs, etc. BUM just sounds stupid, IMO... and I really don't think SE would call it that.

Then again, the Fighter abbreviation in T:A was FGT...

there is a BUM in every party, the dunes are filed with them, they have gimp subs and equip, they are the scum of this game, never will you see more wretched hives of scums and villany

How about TUM?

Not only do they sooth your stomach, but they're also Too Uber Mages.

well, duh, any job can out-do a bum.

The worst kind of bum:
A high level leveling a different job, not only are they often crappy at it, they think they can boss you around because they're a high level, and if you dont listen they say the're gonna MPK you.
yup, that has to be the worst.

As humorous as the abbreviation BUM is, I'm pretty sure it will be BLU.

As soon as I heard that blue mage was confirmed for ffxi:tau the first abbreviation for the job I thought of was BUM... And for the simple reason that 90% of the people on all servers will flock to this job, I hope that SE did the same...
That's right, I think you're all BUM's ~.O

But seriously, I just hope that SE does introduce a couple other new jobs... Distract at least some people from the allure of the BUM : )

I vote BLU.

But I think we should call it BUM for the first two weeks after TAU, starting with the first wave of BLUs to hit the dunes.

/sh BUM ALLIANCE 14/18 LOOKING FOR BUM/WAR BUM/WHM {Please check it.}

I think the joke ought to be fairly obvious here. ;D

It'll be BLU, because that's the Abbreviation used in FFTA

personally, i would LOVE it to be BUM, haha that would be great if it was that... but given the fact that the initials were BLU in FFTA I really think it would be that... SE likes to live up to the old series, just the way they did with avatars and the races...

lol, I think it's porbably going to be BLU, but I have to admit, if they do call it BUM there are so many amusing /shout etc that could be done, I guess we'll just have to wait and see^^

So if they also introduce pirate (PRT) does that mean we are going to have BUM/PRT running around? I for one will be staying safely inside my mog house if that happens.
