It seems like everyone is calling this thing something different? So far I've seen it referred to the above terms (with some other additions that seem like they've been rejected by now).

The one I have a problem with, but I've been seeing the most of is the Bandit Boss option. The reason I have a problem with it is because inevitably every monsters name is reduced to its initials. Hence, the BB. Yet, there are two other monsters this could be confused with. The Black Bunny is often referred to as a BB, and the Blue Blob is often referred to this as well (although a bit less frequent).

So what do you guys think? Personally I like Bandit Assassin. The name sounds good, and the initials are more easily recognisable (DB looks too similar to DS).

i like Bandit Assassin the best

Added Bandit Leader.

And btw, I did just hear that Meiun officially claimed it as the Bandit Boss... but I still think it's confusing.

BB can be mistaken for Black Bunny, so I vote it as BA. But I call it a mole still :D

I don't get mole...

BM was one of the supposedly rejected terms, and then someone (FFA I think) played with it and called it a Black Mole.

There's the origin for you.

I agree that Bandit Boss isn't a very good because it could easierly get mixed up with the Black Bunny especially because they both spawn in the same area. I voted Dark Voted.

It's only two letters  :-\

Who ever picked BA (Bandit Assassin) should come out of the closet, that's the gayest name I've ever come across...

Let's just call it Bandit Boss, as Meiun said it's name IN THE GAME was.
Who cares if two names clash (Black Bunny and Bandit Boss) Why not change the Bunnies name? To Black Bunny Rabbit? BBR?
or BBun, w/e...

Who cares? I care, and many others do too, you can take your attitude and shove it up your ass, buddy. Whats wrong with choosing a name that Won't be confusing?

I think it'd be stupid to call it dark bandit. And we would only call it that because of the mask that it's wearing. It is most clearly not dark skinned.

I call it the Assassin. And the short name is Sin.

Who cares? I care, and I'm a stupid moron, blah blah blah blah blah...

About a free and relaxing game? It's ridiculous....If you yell BB everyone comes running whether it's a Black Bunny or Bandit Boss / Bandit Assassin / Bandit Bouncer WHAT EVER YOU CALL IT.

Or you do what i do and yell out BB BA BM!

Whenever I see one, I just say boss.

Didn't Chaos stated, that Bandit Assassin was the official name for it, or did I got anythin' wrong?

Dude, Joel, you're ridiculous. It looks like a vast majority of people prefer Bandit Assassin. There's nothing wrong with that name anyways. How is it gay in any way?

Honestly the point of this post was to find out what most people were going to be calling this boss so that I and everyone else could use the same term. Monsters have never really had "official" names. There's nothing in the game that tells you their name and so people have just used the generally accepted term for them. I don't know if Meiun has actual names for the monsters coded in the program, but even so it doesn't show to the player so we can call them whatever we want. Since majority generally rules in trends like this, I decided to put it to a vote to find out what the majority really thinks. And I got the answer. People can continue to call this monster whatever they want, but in general it looks like most people will call it the Bandit Assassin and when it spawns they're going to type "BA". If you call it something different, you'll likely confuse most people because they're calling it a Bandit Assassin.

So I hope that ends that line of debate...

Dark Bandit.

I think it's pretty well established that almost everyone calls it a Bandit Assassin or BA now. But, like I said before, anyone is welcome to use another name, they just have to understand that a majority of people will be confused by it.

Bandit leader sounds stupid.
BB...I thought that was black bunny?
DB, da bandit?

Overall I like BA.

Personally I agree with the vote, and like Bandit Assassin best. Unless you all have any big objections to it, I guess it can be officially stated that "Bandit Assassin" is now it's official name.

yup. i like BA the most

Speaking as the 'spriter' of it, the 'official' name of it was Bandit Boss.  However, that was just a generic name I gave to refer to it.  I think Bandit Assassin is probably the best name of what's listed.

Yea, I remember that being said a few times. My point for this post was to find out what everyone was going to be calling it since the "official" names for monsters aren't always known (unless Meiun or someone tells us). Plus, after finding out the official name was Bandit Boss, and seeing everyone call out "BB" when they spawned, and all the confusion that ensued because I'm sure some people read that as Blue Blob or Black Bunny... I thought a different name should be used...

Anyways, sounds good. I'm glad almost everyone could agree on a name.
