If You Saw More Then One Onos...

Flayra · January 2004

This poll is for a certain drunken Irish Constellation member that insists he's right....

MrMojo · January 2004

Oni, only because I asked you in-game and that's what you said it was. Unless I'm mistaken and it's actually one onos that is oni...ohmai.

I say "Onos" for the shear fact that I don't care about the spelling as an onos horn hurts my patoot.

lyndak · January 2004

Oh my dear Christ he actually made it, again, I must apologise for that drunken Paddy calling you.

Gwahir · January 2004

any one onos is cause for concern, I'd just say onos, though I could learn to say oni

Testament · January 2004

Oni or Onii.

Onos's doesn't sound right, y'know?

Cereal_KillR · January 2004

"Look out for the Onos!" sounds as if there was one. To avoid confusion (and because you say so), oni.

O_o Not to worry, I submitted a new definition.

Extreme · January 2004

To me onos seems singular, so to make it plural you add es so it would be onoses (which I say), but I guess that isn't politically correct, so I also call it oni (for the fun of it).

DragonMech · January 2004

To be honest, I wouldn't say the "look out for" bit. I just type "ONOS!" and continue shooting, regardless of the number of them.

Supernorn · January 2004

Its nice to inform your team mates that there is infact more than one onos charging into marine start, so in these events I use "Oni"

Testament · January 2004

Alot of people used to say "Oni" back in 1.x because Onos were vicious end-game basewreckers, so I think it related well to "oni," which means demon or devil in Japanese. Onii are barely deserving of the title "beast" in 2.0 and 2.01

BeRzErKeR · January 2004

Onos or onoses, I use them both (for plural that is). But not oni.

CommunistWithAGun · January 2004

Onos should be renamed to "Oh Sh*t"

Testament · January 2004

COMMIE! You should know well by now the name was made by a TSA Marine who heard all the MArines yelling "OH NO!" when they saw an Onos.

semipsychotic · January 2004

If I'm commanding and somebody shouts "ONOS!," I would drop some shotguns.

If three of them barrel through the door, I was wishing that I gave them jetpacks so they could root out a hive.

If somone shouts "ONI!," I would immediately be dropping jetpacks in order to nail a hive and maybe distract the oni.

DiabolusCaligo · January 2004

I don't use Onos for multiple amounts of them... I tend to vary between Onoses and Oni because I tpye fsater tnah I can tnkin.

btw, Mr. Flayra, it's "than," silly goose <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Yea, if I'm a marine and someone yells onos, I go to wherever they are and tell everyone to go kill it. If I run over there and see more than 1 I had wished I ran the other way.

The poll is really close, I guess normal people also think the same as a drunk irish guy....

BigBull · January 2004

not really, if theres more then 2 then the pack of onos is called "were f*****"

btw is flayra asking for the gramatically correct way? or the in-game way?

Fletcher · January 2004

Hello,
i am indeed the drunk irish person!
NACH AYE!

People of NS.
RISE WITH ME TO CHANGE NS HISTORY!!
We do not have much control over what happens in ns , but this, WE CAN CHANGE!!

If i see an onos, be it 1, 7 or, god forbid, 10, i myself and most people i know in my regular servers, scream, usually along with tears running down their faces ''ONOS!!!!!!!!''

This is the way it should be.
I think my emoticons explain it nicely

<AAAH!!ONOS!!>

lyndak · January 2004

Mmm. I gave it out strictly on the intention that he'd become a consty member..

Damn drunk paddies...

Oni = Winnar

Onos = nub

Supernorn · January 2004

Change NS history? you cant force people to stop yelling out Oni anymore than someone saying "gorg" or "turrent"

FlakX · January 2004

Irishman is freaking right. It's ONOS! LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

P.S. I heard him make the call to make this come about. It was freaking GREAT.

lyndak · January 2004

Mmm. How silly of me to broadcast it on our Ventrilo server...

Absolutionary · January 2004

definitally ONI
though i usually just say multiple onos while in game though

Wonderhorse · January 2004

Voting for onos.....well what can I say.....such tremendous people <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

THAT IS THE TRUE PLURAL FORM OF ONOS!

Usually though, if I'm telling my team there are multiple onos going somewhere, I say:
To Self: "Oh s**t Oh s**t Oh s**t!"
Voice: "Oh s**t!"
Onos devours me.
Voice: "S**T! We have a buncha onos heading towards base." Then it's followed by a weak help me.

Redford · January 2004

I believe onos are more akin to sheep then anything, though I'm not sure why. odd. ^^

Supernorn · January 2004

There is only one man that can put a stop to this.....<b>Jeff Paris!</b>
quickly get him to write down what you call more than one Onos, and hey presto.
you cant argue with Jeff Paris!

If You Saw More Then One Onos...
