I need more quotes!

So I’ve had some complaints that the computer players in iShoot don’t have enough interesting things to say. Fair enough. However, I figure that you guys probably want me to continue cranking on online support rather than spend time trying to come up with funny stuff to say, so… help me out!

I need suggestions for new computer tanks as well as more phrases for the existing tanks to say. Tanks have three kinds of phrases: for when they shoot, for when they make a kill, and for when they die. If you send me an email with suggestions, please format it as follows:

Subject: Tank Quotes

Name: MyBot
Color / Style: Black / #1

Shot Quotes:
<one per line>

Kill Quotes:
<one per line>

Death Quotes:
<one per line>

At a bare minimum I need three of each kind of quote for new tanks, but there is no limit and feel free to include dozens. The quotes can include dynamic tokens like the name of the player that was just killed or the current weapon; I’m not going to include a list of such tokens simply because if your ideas are good enough I will gladly add more to make your suggestions possible. So feel free to suggest stuff like a “Take a look at my <current weapon>!”

Obviously by submitting me your ideas you are implicitly giving me permission to use them in future updates blah blah blah. Hope you guys have some good ideas!

That email address is once again ethan@ethannicholas.com.

    iShoot is one of the best and most addictive games I have on my iPod. Keep all of the good work!

    For the quotes:

    Death Quotes: (my favorite)
    “Death is a law, not a punishment”
    “Death is a debt we all must pay”

    Kill Quotes:
    “Don’t kill the dream – execute it”
    “I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to kill you.”

    Shot Quotes:
    “One lucky shot deserves another”

    I think these quotes are a perfect length for the tanks on iShoot and would all fit in for what they are trying to say.

    Also, just an idea- maybe you could add “Slayer” as one of the names for the tanks.

    I hope this helps!
